Creating Your Life
 
Life as a child is like a dream. Everyday, you wake up and you play. You have to do some things you don’t want to like take a bath or clean your room, but everything else is pretty much taken care of: your meals are prepared, your clothes are bought (and washed - remember the days!), the bills are paid. You even get chauffeured around everywhere you go! We go to school and do the things we are told. Then the teenage years set in and we start to push for more freedoms, to dress and act and talk the way WE want to. It even feels good to do these things the way our parents would rather us not. It feels good to initiate independence. Somewhere along the line, we decide that we have to get a job and earn a living.

Some people like the school gig, so they go on to college. Others have a family business or some other ambition. We soon figure out that independence is not all it is cracked up to be! We pay bills, cook, clean, and basically spend most of our time taking care of ourselves. Somehow we become ingrained in this seemingly endless pattern of work-eat-sleep; work-eat-sleep, etc.

Well, the American way of life has become more and more demanding on our time. Our ability to express and enjoy ourselves is at an all time low. We are so busy working to get the kids fed, get them dressed, pick them up from soccer practice, pay our mortgage, pay our utilities, pay for the cars and the insurance and the credit cards and the, and the, and the ….. sounding familiar yet? What happened to the little child? We have changed a lot, haven’t we? Well, in some ways yes, but in other ways we are still the same. We want so much to feel free to enjoy life and have fun, yet we feel stuck in this constant routine, this never ending stream of task after task after task. What happened to living? There is a wonderful word. Maybe you have heard of it. The word is “choice”. EVERYONE has choices. It is simple. The choices that we make and the actions that we take (or don’t take) make our lives what they are. This is important, so let me say it again. THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE AND THE ACTIONS THAT WE TAKE (OR DON’T TAKE) MAKE OUR LIVES WHAT THEY ARE. It is the people who know and follow this simple truth who realize their dreams and goals and ultimately CREATE THEIR LIFE.
