Life is Not Too Short

Everyday provides opportunities. Opportunities to confront our fears, correct our mistakes, and make amends with our past. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we do not seize these opportunities.

During this week’s blog, I want to give you a wake up call! Life is not too short. There are more than enough minutes in an hour, hours in a day, and days in a year to change anything about your life you want to change.

It is the purest truth, it is our responsibility to take advantage of every opportunity that life offers us.  We are the ones who decide what is best for us, it is ours, the power of decision. We should never forget that.

As we prepare to go into the month of September, I want us to remember this: life is a game in which happiness is the goal.

I saw these incredible words by Mother Teresa, I'd like to share them with you, “Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.”

Think about those words for a moment. It is your responsibility to make sure you’re bringing life, to your life. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are playing to win in the game of life.

We're responsible for everything in our lives. We're responsible for our happiness, misery, and choices.

Accountability is not blaming others for our situation. It's understanding we control our outcome.

People ridicule, attack, and condemn what they are afraid of. If you are unique, confident, and successful it frightens people. You should not be living to please other people, but to identify the perfect will of God and walk in everyday.

Never diminish your authenticity to reduce anyone's fear. Your job everyday is the learn how to maximize your potential so God can be glorified through your life.

I want you to know, everything we do is always a choice. You can choose to get up and take responsibility or blame everyone else but yourself. Either way, no one is coming to save you.
