Let it Go or be Frozen!

Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places. There are many times when we question how we came to be in a particular situation and why the chips are stacked against us. We may feel let down, or confused by circumstances. It may feel like the whole world is conspiring to topple us. Many times, we look at others and our perception is that they are doing so much better than we are and they don't seem to be struggling, or going through challenges.  Some people have "all the luck" and make it look easy (just ask AB de Villiers).  But let's face it, we are not that easily defeated and we have the ability to rise to greater heights, if we begin to take stock of the choices we have made and the reasons we made them, then we will begin to discover that even some of the "bad choices" set up opportunities we least expect or perceive. I wondered if everyone contemplates daily as I do about their choices and if they have a sense of completion or emptiness, when they reach the end of a day.  I think about others and if they are satisfied, that they have achieved their best on the day. Have they experienced regret and stress and what they may be doing to avoid negative feelings.  Growth of character and maturity comes, not only from the good choices we make in life but even from those that were  less than ideal or even painful and how quickly we can digest them or allow them to swallow us.  It is important to own each one of our chices in a way, that we forgive ourselves and take any positive we can from negative situations and this will lead us into new places and exciting times, where we can explore further choices and work ourselves to a peaceful and enjoyable place.  It is amazing that when we let go and stop punishing ourselves, for bad, or rather imperfect choices, we get clarity of mind and the impediment to further success is quickly removed and replaced with favour, peace, fulfilment and a better existence.
