I am a professional dweller. If there was a job out there for people who dwell and wallow in their past…I would be the Subject Matter Expert. I tend to replay situations over and over again thinking about how I should have/could have handled it. My amazing dwelling ability has successfully stalled me for the past year and a half. I have been sitting around thinking about all the crossroads I have come across and my innate ability to pick the hardest road for myself. Never fails…it is a gift I guess. Being a “Glass-is-half-full” kind of Gal (most days I am pretty optimistic about “THE LIFE” I have chosen for myself) I usually shrug it off and call it a “Learning Moment” or “God’s Will” or (get this) “What I Have Written In My Chart”…but never ever took the responsibility for the CHOICES that I have made. What I have realized is this :
Everything that is going on in my life is a direct and equal REACTION to MY ACTIONS.
FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL REACTION. That is the way it is. Nothing has happened because of bad luck or being born under a bad sign. This life is what I have made of it…and for the longest time I haven’t really had any plans for my future other than being a Wife and a Mother.
The infamous words of The Joker “Why so serious??” can applied to me right now. 🙂 There is a reason. Sometimes things just hit you in a certain way that makes you feel like you have been doused with cold water. This time it came from my Younger Brother…Bobby. I’m the oldest but I have learned that being older doesn’t always make you wiser…My Younger Siblings have really imparted much knowledge upon me. I am eternally grateful for their straightforward demeanor.
Ok…so what did Bob do that made me decide to bore the blog world with my thoughts…ponderings…and realizations? A literal A-HA moment?? He updated his Facebook Status. This is what he wrote:
If you have a plan for the future, you will not DWELL in the past. A question you should ask yourself is how many truly successful people blog about their past? Not many. This is because they are too busy moving on and planning for the future. Set a goal and get over it…..
This is Bobby…my almost twin. The Man is a Male version of me…Doesn’t he look WONDERFUL?? Very successful…for a reason.
