We Need To Live The Life We’ve Got!

Anybody out there had some disappointments in their life? Anything that just didn’t turn out like you hoped?If your hand isn’t up, I’m calling your bluff.

The unfortunate reality of life is that things don’t always turn out how we hoped or planned for them to.We find ourselves raising children rather than finishing our college degree. Or our marriage ends in divorce. Or we lose a loved one too early. Sometimes our path in life takes a detour because of choices we’ve made. Other times, our change in route is outside of our control.


Regardless of what happens or why it happens, we always have a choice over our response. We can spend our days lamenting what didn’t happen, or we can embrace the truth of where we are and go on living. We can’t bring back someone we’ve lost, but we can go through counseling to process the grief and emotions so we can move on. We can’t travel back in time and fulfill our dreams of finishing college before starting a family, but we can make plans to get our degree in the future.

Wherever we are today, whatever we’re going through,we need to make the choice to be present in our lives.We need to choose to live the life we were given today and make the changes we want for our future.
