ฮด instead of living my life by default, i can learn how to make responsible choices and take risks. ฮด

Posted: Wed, Feb 20, 2008 10:50:37 AM

a heightened awareness of myself and an increased willingness to accept personal responsibility gives me the freedom to change, to make choices, and to grow.
so i was up way early this morning and got started on a project that was only going to take a few minutes. HA! the project i got started now will be a whole morning long, and it has been one that i have been putting off for quite some time now. life is like that too! i think i know what i need to undertake on a daily basis, and i often find what i start is not going to take as long as i think it is or takes even longer. the irony of this ties back to the reading, if i choose to continue to let the world decide what i am going to do, how i am going to behave and live in a reactive mode, i will continue to be miserable. the choice to be a victim is mine on a daily basis, heck a minute by minute basis. i believe that i choose to accept responsibility for my actions and behaviors today. after all, it is yet another good day to recover!
