The Decision is Yours

Hello do-gooders! I hope everyone has decided to make it a great day.

Notice that in the above statement I wrote the word "decided." To decide means to reach a resolution in your mind as a result of consideration. This means you've made a decision based on your thoughts of whatever it is you are seeking to do.

Why is this important? Because it comes down to our OWN DECISION whether we are happy, grateful, upset, seeking to blame, excited, etc. We CHOOSE our outlook; as a matter of fact, our mindset is what will determine our happiness. And let's be real here, the goal is always happiness. So... make it happen.

Much love to you all on this day and the rest of your days.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi

Forgiveness

Hello fellow do gooders. I hope everyone is doing swell.

I want you to ask yourself, "am I truly a forgiving individual?" What does forgiveness mean to you, anyway? Is it being a push over? Is it forgetting what was done to you? Is it finding the good in your heart to simply let go of what you let get to you in the first place? That's what it means to me. To let go.

Forgiveness means to let go. To not feel angry or resentful. Holding this in your heart is painful. One cannot truly be free if we hold this grudge inside of us. This is a struggle that many deal with and few conquer.

JUST. LET. GO. We hold ourselves back because we want to justify someone else's actions. That is quite the recipe for discontentment.

Always find it in your heart to forgive. No need to forget (fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...), but forgiving is a key for living a happy life.

Be great, live freely.
