Embrace your life, change it, or...

We have choices, we can either embrace our lives just as they are, or change them.  But there is a third choice...

Now I'm not saying we need to just flush everything and rebuild, though sometimes that's what it takes.  But we need to appreciate what we have in life, as there are many who are not as fortunate as we are.  We take for granted many of the people and things in our lives.  In the same breath though sometimes we need to take a step back and re-evaluate where we are and who is in our lives.  We become what we surround ourselves with.  

So let's see where this takes me today...

Time to break things down a bit....

So now that we know what they mean it is up to us to do something. 

Sometimes we don't really embrace where we are in life, we just get stuck or content.  Not saying that's right or wrong, but we all know we could do better. 

I know I get there from time to time.  I get on a roll and then WHAM... Life happens and then I just let it happen and it continues to just happen, with me not doing anything about it.  Sometimes I see it happen and I see what I am doing, or not doing.  Even though I can see what is happening, making that next step can be the hardest step of all.  We all have been to that point from time to time. 

This is when we need to do a little combining... "Embracing Change" also known as Living Life at 90%. 

I know here he goes again with the DDPYoga philosophy.  But it is more than that it is about us and how we move thru our everyday lives.  Everything we do is interconnected.  The one thing they have in common is us.  You know Me, You... Us.  Everything around us happens because we are there to either accept it or witness it.  But if we do nothing about it then we have no one to blame but ourselves. 

So where are you today?  Where is your life today?  What are you doing in your life that you could change  for the better?  Who could benefit from the changes you might make? 

Everything we do has an effect on our lives,  but it also has an effect on many other lives we may not even know about.

So no matter where you are in your life.... EMBRACE it, you are where you are for a reason.  There is always something we could CHANGE in our lives for the better.  But if we would just take the time to appreciate where we are and look to see where we are going then maybe, just maybe we could  avoid something and do something about it, before it happens.

Some things in life are put in front of us for a reason, though we may not understand why at the time.  It is up to us to deal with them the best we can so that maybe it may help someone else along the way.

Believe in who you are, Live your life "One Moment, One Day" at a time, and "Own YOUR Life"

Have a GREAT Day...Today & Tomorrow
