"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are."
~ Marianne Williamson
For the last few weeks, maybe months, I have permitted myself to be the victim of my own life.
It's not that anything tragic or earth shattering has taken place.
On the contrary, at best ,what I can say is that nothing has happened.
I have mostly been sleep walking through life.
I wake up.
I go about my daily routine.
I wait for others to do what they need to do, as if somehow,until they do I can't move on with my life.
Bulls#!t on that!
That's a bunch of nonsense that I have some how convinced myself is the reason for my inaction.
The by-product of this malaise is I have fallen into some bad old lazy habits.
I have gotten sloppy.
Sloppy in my appearance.
Sloppy in my food choices.
Sloppy in my work habits.
Sloppy in all areas of my life.
I have been stumbling and bumbling through my days instead of actively engaging in my life.
I am not sure what changed over night, however today I woke up and greeted the day as if that fog that I have been engulfed in has completely dissipated.
It's time to get back to work.
It's time to venture forward.
It's time to lead my life not be led by life.
What's done is done. I can't change that.
The opportunities missed during that time?
Not an issue...new day..... new opportunities.
Time to have at it!
Phew!
That feels better!
