Promises, not Resolutions

Today is the first day of the year.  For the past two days I have been contemplating on all the things I have seen friends post on Facebook, from weight loss to better parenting,  etc. I personally do not make resolutions but I decided to make promises to myself. I promise to live life more fully.  To take more risks and branch out.  Life is full of possibilities and we should not miss out on them. People,  places,  and things are waiting on us to explore and to forge a deeper bond.  This is the day to start because like they say there is no time like the present to make a change. 

Choosing Paths

We all have a path to choose in life.  There are several that are available to you and choosing one can be difficult.  Either can send you soaring to the clouds or spiraling back down toward earth.  In the beginning, you may not be able to see which path is the right one, but along the way, different clues can help you determine the right one for you.  Some people see the clues and still choose the wrong path because of something they think they want.  Things in life that we crave can cause us to choose the wrong path; things we think we have to have.  But nothing is necessary except the basic things of life that are needed to survive.  Once we all learn to stop being afraid of moving forward in life, we can all be free and make wiser, better educated decisions.  Bias can create problems in your life, not only now, but well into the future.
