My Road, My Journey, My Life

"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end."

~ Ursula K. Le Guin

My road in life changes constantly as I have grown and matured. I have made choices and decisions that have changed my life and have affected what I do and love. Right now my road is easily traveled where I am surrounded by friends and family, but down the road I know what I want but there are important choices I haven't made yet. I know I want to go to college, have a job I love to do, fall in love, have a family, but I don't know what college I want to go to, I don't know what job I want and this makes my road bumpy and unsettling. Right now my road is simply filled with my prioties, school, sports, friends, family, and church. I am happy with my road and glad I have what I have in life, I know sooner rather then later I will need to make many life decisions that will show me the rest my my journey on this road and how it will end, hopefully me with a family, a house with a big yard, surrounded by people who I love. My road will have many forks that can lead me down the right or wrong path, I want to know that I lived with no regrets and made the right choices, and although I can't see the rest of the road or even where it ends, I am determined to live the way I want to.

Thought for the Day.... Forgiveness

“Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.”
Suzanne Somers

Many people believe that forgiving someone involves you telling someone you are no longer angry with them or accepting an apology, but in reality forgiveness is much deeper then that. Many people leave anger held up inside them and spend day after day thinking about how angry they are at someone or something and don't see that the anger is consuming their time and life. Forgiveness is freedom from this anger and freedom from spending time on something you don't want to this is why I chose the quote I chose. Forgiving someone is just as much for you as much as it is for them, no one even needs to know that you forgive them but you. Forgiving someone allows you to free yourself from their grasp and get back to loving life and happiness, anger affects all your relationships and forgiveness heals them. Truly forgiving someone takes a burden of anger and resentment off of your back and allows you to be free, and this quote shows that forgiveness isn't a gift to others but a gift that only you can give to yourself.

Thought for the Day: Life Law Six

"Your attitude in life is your choice- and your choice only."

I chose this quote from life law six because i think it portrays a good meaning of how you are responsible for the choices you make and how you act, no one else is. This quote shows that your attitude towards life is your attitude and no one is making you act like that. If you chose to be happy, you'll live a happy life and people will be happy around you, but if you chose to be angry and sad then you won't be happy and others won't want to be around you. This choice to be happy or angry is YOUR choice no one else's and you need to take responsibility for the consequences that come from this attitude. You drive the car in your life and you need to chose which road to take and accept everything, good or bad, that comes from your choices. 

Life Law Five Reflection: Be, Do, Have

"You must be committed, do what it takes, and then you will have what you want."
I take this quote away from the life law five reading because it simply tells you that if you really want something no one is going to just give it to you. To achieve goals or even just to get a date to a dance you have to take action and do something. Goals aren't achieved through laziness but through determination, dedication and perserverance. The only way you are going to get to where you want to be in life is to do what it takes. It won't be easy and it won't come quickly but if you really want something the only way you are going to get it is if you act about your goals and dreams. The only way you are going to hit the ball is to step up to the plate and swing.
