Stepping Out and Up!
Hahha! I got it, I figured it out. Life actually does work at times, I mean work in whatever favor I wish it would. Here is my question. How do we know I am the "smartest" person to know exactly how "my" life should work? What if there was someone else that was more qualified to decide what I believe, think, speak, act, etc...
So, here it is. New challenge, new faces, new voices... with one strong desire to improve the life around me, the world in which my children live, the existence that my husband and I work through and for... wait... here it is - this is it - the question... why do we do all of this working, this stressing over income, over bills, over ick... all of it!!! Why?!
I think that deep down each and every person wants to be successful on every single level of life. Family, friends, financially, all of it... but what if, go with me, what if you had to choose. What if you had to choose just one, maybe two. Which would you choose?
See movies and songs that are out today throw this concept around, yet in a literal sense. It wouldn't be easy, of course the majority of people are going to say family no matter what. Right? I mean, forgive my sarcasm, but no one would ever dare to be honest that their votes, action, words, etc.. Are for their family and not personal gain... right??? Yeah, that's what I thought. Nice try.
What if those same people weren't asked by anyone else other than their own conscience, that little voice inside their head that no one else can and ever will hear... what answer then would they give. The reason I push this is that with the financial downfall of financial institutions, the amazing "promises" that those in power at all levels have given, I just have to believe that instead of saying "family first" the majority of people - only having to answer to that little voice in their head, their conscience - only themselves, if honesty might show its' true and ugly face and the answer would be chose as "finances". Sadly it is choices that "finance" is the #1, helped play a part, whether it be obvious or just a tiiny part into the terrible tragedies in TX and FL this past week. The families of each person wounded and killed... hearts go out to you... may you find strength, peace, and the will deep within.
It has been a week of challenges, of mountains that have been climbed before... but I know where I stand. I will stand and say out loud - I choose family first - every time. My challenges will continue to come and test that belief I say outloud, but nothing will ever change that.
My apologies for the delay in posting. Life had a couple of rides in it that I had to adjust to. Better consistency ahead.
Heads up... this next week is right around the corner. Stay vigilant to who you are inside. The true you. As I continue to journey to determine the inner true me... my joy and my purpose is for the betterness of my family - no matter what. I thank God above for the amazing people in my life - they are blessings that leave me speechless now.
