The Choices We Make

I'm thinking about consequences today.  I think about 5% of the things that happen in our lives we have no control over and 95% we are in absolute complete control of.  Everything we do, think, say, and feel is our choice.  It's easy to try and place blame on something or someone else if things are not going the way we want in our lives.  Why is it we can take credit for all the good things and yet not accept responsibility for the bad things?  We choose to speak the words that come out of our mouths.  We choose the people we want to spend time with.  We choose where we want to go and what we want to do.  We choose every single one of our actions.  At any given moment, ask yourself, "How did I get here?"  Whether it is a good place or a bad place, chances are if you think long enough and honestly enough, you will remember the choice you made that put you in this place.  We choose how we react to things and people.  We choose how we feel.  So often we hear "you made me feel...he made me feel...she made me feel".  No, that person did not Make you feel anything.  You chose how to react to what they said or did.  Get it?  Anyway, I just wanted to write a quickie to remind everyone that the consequences in your lives are usually a direct result of some choice you made somewhere along the line.  Take responsibility for your choices whether they be good or bad.  It is amazing how good it feels to know you are in control of what happens in your life...at least 95% of the time.
