My dear daughter,
Your life goes in the direction of the choices you make. Just as it is said, an apple tree cannot produce a mango, it is also impossible for your life to be tailored to the choices of someone else. That is why, my dear, you need to avoid the temptation to blame others for your life. Deflecting, rather than taking responsibility for your actions and its resulting consequences is a form of self-deception. Let me reiterate, it is your life, your choices, and your responsibility.
To buttress this better, I want to share with you a piece of wisdom I stumbled upon recently; it’s titled ‘Your Choice’. I urge you to reflect deeply on it.
Your Choice
Are you choosing:
to complain,
to blame,
to be stuck in the past,
to act like a victim,
to feel insecure,
to feel anger,
to feel hate,
to be naïve,
to ignore your intuition,
to ignore good advice,
to give up…Then it’s time to choose differently.
Choose to let go,
Choose to be present,
Choose to be positive,
Choose to forgive yourself,
Choose to forgive others,
Choose to see your value,
Choose to see the possibilities,
Choose to find meaning,
Choose to prove you’re not a victim,
Choose to find the motivation you need to take a step forward.
My dear now that you are aware that the outcome of your journey through life is a result of the choices you make along the way, how would you choose to live your life?
May God in his merciful love grant you the insight and wisdom to make the right choices.
Love you always,
Dad
