In life, we have two choices. We can opt to navigate life’s waters, burning bridges as we
go, or we can weather the more tumultuous waters, maintaining an air of dignity
and grace, treating those around us with respect.
At times, the latter may prove challenging. A task we’re not up to. But…if we take a deep breath and
maintain the high road rather than lashing out by saying or doing things that
may come back to haunt us, we’re able to hold our heads high. Doesn’t mean things will go our
way. Or that life won’t kick us
around.
I believe life is a test of weathering storms. Of seeing how well we’re able to
conduct ourselves. Are we quick to
throw in the towel? Do we flare to
anger rather than quietly listen to what’s said to us? Are we willing to have life’s lessons
sink in? Or do we react
defensively, shutting out any possibility of personal growth? Do we alienate those around us, believing
them expendable? Or do we value
individuals for the unique contributions they lend to our lives?
Life’s all about choices. What will yours be?
I'd prefer to believe that life isn't just about weathering storms, it's about living great expereinces and overcoming occasional odds.
