You are where you are now because of the choices you’ve made. Everything you do in life do it with awareness. Make conscious choices. Make choices based on love and faith rather than fear and doubt. Allow the goodness within you to help guide you to make wise choices. The choices you make create your life. Make your own choices, or you will end up following someone else’s dream.
Are you a person that is willing to accept new ideas and try different things or are you closed-minded, set in your ways, and resist change? It’s good to have strong views about a specific topic, but it is also good to be balanced and listen to other people’s opinions. You just might learn something new and better. When you adjust your perspective, and try new things, your life will be more fulfilling. How do you know for sure whether or not you like something if you don’t try it? You are missing out on so much in life when you stay in the same old routine. It’s time to come out of your comfort zone and take that step of faith.
I’m sure you’ve heard this before, “when one door closes another door opens.” We have to remember that when that door closes, everything is going to be fine. Our Creator intended to close that door for a very good purpose. Sometimes we tend to forget and become anxious and discouraged. We need to be patient and have faith and trust until the other door is opened. There is perfect timing for everything. We should be grateful for closed doors and opened doors. Because our Creator would never close one door without opening another.
Just when things are moving along fine and then BAM something bad happens (at least we think so at the time). It has happened to all of us. We immediately ask why. Why did this happen, what am I doing wrong, why can’t things work out, etc. It’s especially hard on parents when it happens to their children. Some parents would rather take the fall than to see their children suffer. God wants us to grow in grace. God wants us all to learn to be strong and responsible but yet loving and compassionate. How do we learn to be good if there isn’t bad? How would we know about light if there wasn’t dark? We have to learn to accept things as they are, because it’s all part of life’s lessons. Keep the faith no matter what.
I bet there have been times when you have been completely overwhelmed with issues going on in life. Be grateful anyway. Blessings come in many forms and may come in disguise. Remember God is good and working behind the scenes for us. Sometimes we’ll figure out why things happened the way they did, but sometimes we’ll never know. We still have to have faith in God and in ourselves. Everything is in order and as planned.
