As I was lounging around today watching a movie (big surprise), I had a moment of clarity about my life that I would like to share with you.
I have had a difficult year and there have been allot of things that have made me depressed or frustrated me, these down times have really affected me and they tended to destroy my whole day or week or even longer.
As I was watching that movie I began to realise a few things; one, my life is actually pretty good, I have always wished my life could be like a movie where there was always something going on....action, romance, excitement, drama, and yes even happiness, but then I began to realise that my life did have all these things that I love about movies and the people I share my life with they are the characters that I see and love in these movies, everything going on all around me is life (my own movie) and I get to be the lead character in it and I get to decide what I do with that character.
This brings me to my second realization; we are in control of our own lives and how we live them.
We may not be able to control certain things that happen in our lives but we can control how they affect us, now there will be times when things happen that are out of our control and our emotions come out and we just react as humans by getting sad or angry or any other emotions that are not who we really are as a person inside, and that's OK we need to feel these emotions, we need to feel them fully, to get absolutely angry or sad or whatever, and get it all out at once then let it go completely and chose to go on with our lives, choose to be happy completely and nothing else, choose to be the best person we can be all the time and let everything else go.
So I have decided to post my moment of clarity so that I can look back at my own words and remember, and just be the very best person I can be and have fun and enjoy this life movie that I am apart of and love all of the characters in my life and be the best character I can be in all of your life movies.
Shane! Such an awesome moment here. I agree with you, and I cheer you on! You are the main character in your own movie! Which means you are the hero everyone is rooting for! I am glad that you wrote this out for that very reason...come back and read it when you need it!
