You cannot NOT choose.

21 December 2007

How did I end up with a life like this one?

I am university educated; well traveled; speak a few languages [badly, but... it's fun!]; have an IQ measured above 150; have survived car crashes, light plane crashes, a shipwreck, a mortar attack on a bus; [several times I was the sole survivor....?]; been shot in Africa and locked up in Mexico - ho hum travel can be a lot of fun if you go beyond the Holiday Inn experience... and here I am in a third world country just short of starving!!

YOU create your own experience through the choices YOU make every day. YOU. No-one did it TO you, sorry.

Yep, that goes for all the crutches such as "I'm a victim of childhood abuse." It happened, it's over - kiss it goodbye. Take charge of your life. Oprah managed it, so can you.

Anger and resentment destroy - YOU! - and allow the past to keep screwing up your present. So... past is past. Adeus.

Take charge of your life. Sure it's hard, but it's better than your 'now', right?

When you choose the behaviour, you choose the consequence. That goes for everything: you choose where to be, [that's right, you COULD have said no, or gone somewhere else, or...] and you choose how to act, and what to say, and what to do, and whom to have a drink with, and blah blah blah.

Are you waiting for someone to get you out of this mess?

Once you accept that YOU are accountable, responsible - watch how fast things change.

Basically I am saying, you cannot NOT choose, because not to choose is to make a choice in itself.

So instead of asking: Why is my life like this? Accept: well, why shouldn't it be! Look what I did to get myself here!

No one but you is going to get you out of this mess. But... it ain't as hard as you think, just that daunting first step. And as I said, once it's taken, the second step is to fly.
