An Open Letter

Hi, it’s me again.

When we are upset, can we choose to make wise decisions? Don’t rely on feelings or emotions when the going gets tough. Our feelings don’t carry us to the right decisions; rather, right decisions carry us to the right emotions and positive rewards. Decide to choose peace.

Here is what I know:

Deciding to choose peace regardless of the circumstance is a decision that will create happiness. If you go looking for happiness as the goal, you will never find it because you have no control over other people. You do have control over yourself and your emotions. Do things that you love. Examine your life as it is right now. Is it giving you blisters instead of bliss? 

Continually picking up pieces here and there that relate to your life, altering them and making them fit is not happiness. Making good choices for yourself is by far the hardest and easiest thing you will ever do. Instead of keeping track of what other people around you are doing or not doing, start keeping track of how you are handling each situation. 

Life doesn’t always turn out how we planned but our action and reaction to everything and everyone around us can make us begin to appreciate how far we have come and feel blessed in our day-to-day routines. That is the beginning of spiritual growth.

Remember to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving. ©

Written with love.
