The Choice

I originally wrote the below for other intents and purposes. However, due to things beyond my control, other paths were taken and this piece was set aside. I didn't, however, want it to be lost.....

The Choice

Thinking positive and living positively can be a daunting task. We live in a world hard-wired to accept and perpetuate the bad, thriving on the negative.

So how do you break the cycle? How do you step away from the excessive negative, in an effort to feed off of the positive and find our own happiness?

The answer is simple really. One must choose. That’s right. Choose to be positive. After all, isn’t that what this life is all about? Many of us believe it is. It is about our own free agency, and the ability we have to CHOOSE where we want life’s path to end up.

I wake up in the morning, and I can choose to dwell on the things not accomplished yesterday, OR I can rejoice in the gift that is this new day. For a new day affords us the chance to accomplish not only the things left-over from yesterday, but brings with it new opportunities.

The mind is a powerful thing, and by making a conscious decision to choose positively, versus any other option, you can rest assured that your mind will take over and do the majority of the work for you. All you have to do is make the choice.
