If I look at my life, I can usually attribute the “positive” and “not so positive” things that have happened to a decision I made in the past. I am pretty stubborn, so there is a good chance I made some of those bad decisions more than once.

I get so tired of hearing people whine about how their life sucks and not taking any responsibility for it. “Someone else did it to me.” “The Universe singled me out and crapped on me.” “God is punishing me.” “Oh woe is me!”

Our society seems to have turned into a bunch of blamers. People don’t want to take responsibility for the problems they have. You see it on TV with celebrities and politicians and you see it with normal people everyday. “My boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife is a jerk and I won’t leave them.” “I can’t pay my bills because I spent more than I can afford and didn’t put enough away for a rainy day!” “I just had a heart attack because because I eat like crap!” “My house got flooded because I built it on a damn river!” I really could go on and on and on.

Very few things in our life are truly random. Maybe being hit by a meteor or space junk or some unexpected illnesses. Sometimes you can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I do my best to think things through before I make decisions, but God knows I have made my share of mistakes (opportunities to grow) over the years, everyone does. If I screw up, and let me tell you I have, I’d like to think I am woman enough to own it. I don’t blame someone else. I don’t blame the Universe. I don’t blame God.

I believe people choose their lives. If you don’t like yours…..choose to change it.
