Choices

Two shows that I have programmed to record on our DVR are Super Soul Sunday and Oprah's Lifeclass series on OWN.  I think these are such inspirational shows.  Thought provoking and uplifting, these shows always make me feel better for having watched them.  They make me cry, laugh, smile, and leave me humble and quiet (usually because there was something said that rings true in my life, something that I have to improve/work on, change, etc.). 



I just finished watching one of Oprah's lifeclass programs with guest Pastor Rick Warren.  Topic of the show was dealing with the cards you were dealt in life.  Again, I cried and laughed and admit that I have some work to do.  Choices, choices, choices.  It all comes down to that one word in the end, doesn't it?  There are a lot of things we as humans on this planet cannot control - our DNA(and everything those three letters entail), our family, upbringing, etc., but we can control how we let those things affect us.  I admit to not always making the best choices, making choices out of fear, pain, anger, feelings of not being enough, the list can go on and on.  I know after watching this program that I am where I am meant to be in my life.  I want to make better choices in my life in regards to my health both physical, spiritual, and mental (that DNA stuff ) and in regards to my relationships.  I know I am a good person at heart, I just know that I have some work to do.

Did not write this post today to throw a pity party or anything, I know that I am blessed.  Just trying to keep it real.
