Highways

So, the running theme of my life lately has been total stress. I freak out when things aren't going my way, get bossy and try to make it how I think it should go.

No, I am not a control freak.

I have to know things so I can make right decisions, and if I don't know what's going on, it just upsets me even more. This creates drama.

I want people to think well of me. And I want them to be happy. It colors my decision making process to the point of rediculum.

No, I am not a people pleaser.

So what if I am all these things? So what if what I want just so happens to be what makes people happy. And so what if I need to know and have things go my way?

But that is not the point of this blog today.

Today, I came to a very important realization. I am 21 years old. And I am old enough to start living my life on my own terms. We only get one chance to live. We have one life, and when its over, its over. Depending on what you believe, there is no other chance to take the bull by the horns and force it in the direction you want it to go.

So, what am I getting at?

So many people are a part of our lives. These people have a hand in shaping out lives and color our decisions in everything. But it is not what makes us. We decide who we are. We decide what we believe. We are a product of our own past and and our own thoughts and our own beliefs and our own actions.

So, what am I saying?

Stop trying to make everything right. Stop trying to get everything to go your own way. And enjoy the life that God has gifted you with. You only get one shot at it. Make today the best day of your life, this moment the most important, and only take the things that stress you out as they come.

Don't freak out when you don't know what's going on. Don't control the out come.

Cause you know what? When the highway of life takes the most unexpected turns, the scenery is the most beautiful.

Love to my readers :)
