Last night I was watching a movie with my family, The Fantastic 4, Rise of the silver Surfer. In a nutshell The silver surfer is sent to planets by Galactus to get them ready for Galactus to devour the planet.
Why would he do that? Because he has made a Faustian deal with Galactus in order to save his home world and lover.
Now that you have the background, there is a scene in the movie where The Invisible Girl played by Jessica Alba asks him why he would help to destroy planets. The surfer's answer is because, "I have no choice".
She incredulously replies that there is always a choice!
I vehemently agree!
Friends, there is ALWAYS a choice. The ability to choose is one of the things that makes us human.
We can choose:
To get out of bed or not.
To wake up happy or not.
What to wear.
What to eat.
To exercise or not.
To smile or not.
To stay or go.
To love or hate.
All of life is a series of choices.
"But," you say, "I don't have a choice. I hate (my job, smoking, my spouse, being over weight, poor etc) but I can't (stop, quit, leave, run, etc.) because I have (a family, an addiction, no money, no time etc.)"
Well, maybe you can change it today and maybe you can't.
But you CAN CHOOSE. You can CHOOSE how you feel about it!
If you can't quit your job because you have a family you can decide to improve your skill set and find a better job in the next year.
If you can't exercise because you have no time you can choose to wake up a half hour earlier and start easy with some calisthenics or a walk around the block.
Choose to do something small to start off with.
Choose your attitude.
Choose to be Response Able (responsible) for your life.
I guarantee you will be better for it.
Live Victoriously,
