If It Is To Be....

I keep having thoughts that echo old sentiments. Some of the sentiments should be dusted off though, like antique crystal, and held up to the light.

There's no doubt it's a tough old world and that is not going to change. My recent change in positiong - aka losing my job - is a case in point. I have a lot of decisions to make about what I want and where I am going next and it's exciting, and I want to do it correctly - watching where my steps will lead when they are in front of me, rather than behind.

Toward that end, I went to a Lifecoaching presentation at GAAMC last night and Elias Scultori had a lot to say about the source of decision-making for most people. It comes down, very simply, to "do you make your decisions out of Love or Fear". Elias went on to say that 90% or more of the decisions a person makes on a daily basis come down to that. What do YOU choose to do with the tools you have? No matter how level or not the playing field might be, we need to do the best with what we have at hand.

This might sound really common-sensical, but hearing this same wisdom from several sources - work with what you have, and make it the best that you can - is like water in the desert. I have times where I give myself over to internal and external demons, but what always brings me back is "if it is to be, it's up to me!".

I heed the call for personal responsibility. Going forward every success I have is attributable to taking responsibility for myself. It's all up to ME!
