One step can change a persons life. A person can step in one of 2 directions, which most people already know..the right and the wrong. The thing about these steps is that for the most part, you won't figure it out until well after the choice has been made which you have taken. People around you and people that play roles in your life can give you advice and help you make these types of decision; Unfortunately, in the end the choice is up to you and only you have to fully understand and except the actions or reactions that stem from your choice. Now even if you take a step in the wrong direction it can help you in the end get to where you want to be. Sometimes a person makes a wrong choice or two but one or two wrong choices won't be the end of the road. For many people we have all taken wrong steps in our lives but it hasn't held us down, nor has it stopped us from doing what we want to do or being where we want to be. Sometimes by making a poor choice it teaches us valuable life lessons and we value those end results and the right choice that much more because of it. Some people feel as though those types of life lessons make us stronger, more determined people and I am not one to argue with that. One or two wrong steps can also help you make your way to the right end result so not every choice is an end all choice. Choices we make each day lead us to an end result and everyone has the choice to take the right steps in their life. In order to do that we have to look at ourselves and take time in our decisions. Use your sense of pride, use integrity, use morals and values, use your discipline and self control, and use honesty. Use these things to help make your decisions and in the end...no matter how long your road is...no matter where it has taken you...I am willing to bet that you will not look back and tell yourself that was a poor choice or the wrong step.

Brett,
ReplyDeleteHow true is what you have just stated. Sometimes we actually sit down and look back over our path, our journey and our lives and realize what we actually did to get where we are today. I myself do this all the time and wonder what would have been if I made a different decision at certain intersections in my life. But all in all, we made our choices, not always the right ones, and they have brought us to today. With ups and downs, we can still be succesful in life. As long as when we are down, we realize there is a prize at the end of the road and we can get there by staying positive and continually striving for that goal.
Great post.
Wow very true. I could not have said it better myself. Ive even tried to say it and it never came out that clearly. LOL
