Gray Skies- Or Blue?

Today is Sunday. Sunday I always feel like the day is decided for me- there are certain things I must do... I feel like Sunday is a "Template Day". The day is mostly decided for you and then you fill in the blanks. I could change the template- but that would alter the things that my family expects and most likely end up looking pretty close to the same thing. I wonder-- is this how we are treating our every day lives? Are we treating our Life and Destiny like a template that we have to fill in the blank? Why are we limiting ourselves to a "pre-formed" life. We have been given numerous talents and life that was ordained by the God of the Universe to be profound, exciting and fruitful; yet, here we sit deciding what template we will fit into this week-month-year. I am choosing to refuse this state of slow decay- what kind of life is it when it has already been decided for you? Time for a 'new leaf'. It is not that I'm saying the grass is greener in a different place (new job, house, etc), but why settle? Why should we be sentenced to a slow life of bordem? We don't have to be.... it's our choice. You may be saying- "OK Miss Angie, you just need to calm down and accept that not everybody has those kind of choices to make..." I will not be calm while I watch those I love and see myself walking down that path. Whatever you do- don't choose "Complacency in Life". Don't be Lazy- in your Destiny. You may not think that you have a clear choice in front of you- but I would wager there are many small changes that you could make if you would start thinking. I am doing that now- making a list of the things I love (not people- but things I do) at work and at home. I will also keep a list of the things that i dislike as well- I'm not talking about obligations like cleaning or grocery shopping either- I'm speaking of things that shape your life. Time-- and how you spend it. Are you spending time doing things that are a habit, but they add nothing to your Person or Future? Why? You are not a prisoner... SO STOP ACTING LIKE ONE!  Change one thing this week- start thinking about things that you enjoy- not complaining about what you are tired of. You are not "locked in" to any destiny- stop acting helpless. Move- in some direction, even if it is just a thought right now-- don't wait, it will never be easier than the present to change. There is never a good time to make changes in your Destiny.  I for one do  not want to get to the last portion of my life and say "Why didn't I just try it?!". Whatever your thoughts are - spend some time thinking about change this week. Do not call it a New Years Resolution- Call it a call to your Destiny. You are responsible for the choices you make- only you.... so what are you waiting for? There is at least one thing that you can do today that will make a tick-mark on your life line. Choose your path- enjoy the things you have been given and aspire to be the most complete and fullest version of yourself.
