The living of life can be compared to driving a car. Some people don't really know where they want to go and drive around aimlessly waiting for something to happen. Some start out with a purpose, but get sidetracked along the way. Others drive with a purpose. They know where they are going, have mapped the way in advance and set out with a goal in mind.

I believe each of us has a choice a how we live our lives; a choice on how we react to life events; a choice on how we think. These are things that we truly control in our lives. There is not much else we can control, except ourselves. We can try to control others or our situations, but these are not ours to control.

No matter what you believe, you are making choices every second of every day. You can choose to be positive, negative or apathetic. The healthy choice is positive. Positive thoughts will lead to optimism. Negative thoughts lead to pessimism. Apathy leads to indifference.

Life is a choice. We can choose to have control over our lives. Control your journey by having a goal in mind and being conscious of the energy you give off. Do not let others guide your journey. Action, not reaction, is the key to controlling your life. There is no conscious thought involved when reaction happens. We need to think first and act second.

No one can “make you feel” anything unless you give them the power to. No one can “make you do” anything unless you choose to do it. At times we all feel as if there is no choice, but there always is. It all depends on what you are willing to lose. It is your choice.
