One of the greatest and most difficult lessons I have ever learned is that all my problems are of my own making. The circumstances of my life are of my own choosing. If i am hurt by a situation, I can readily trace it back to some fear based decision I have made, A decision to take the easier course when the quiet voice within says no. If I stay when I am no longer welcome or comfortable have I not decided that being afraid and uncomfortable is preferable to being free? If I rightly relate responsibility for any situation I am in to my personal choice, I am freeing others of blame for my unhappiness and quieting my spirit from anger towards them. That acceptance of responsibility empowers me in that no one else is required to change in order for me to be happy. I have sole responsibility for my own happiness. Tragic life events certainly are not always of my own making, but my reaction to them is. I can choose to grow through difficult times or become embittered and choose unhappiness. I can be a help to others or I can be a burden to be endured. It is my choice. I pray every day that my choice is to be happy and not embittered by lifes seemingly unfair circumstances. To view each life event as an opportunity to display the power of Gods grace and love in my life. I have witnessed the power of persons who have overcome seemingly impossible tragedy and have evolved into wonderful and loving examples of courage. I am humbled by the influence of these angels in my life.
