choice

we all must make choices in life. good choices, bad choices.
every day i begin to notice that the choices i'm making in my life may not necessarily be the best choices for me. for my future. but i make them anyway because that's how i feel at the moment. like it may be a bad choice, but a good choice to make me feel better at the time.

i checked my email the other day (i hadn't in a couple of days, another bad choice since i'm trying to keep in better contact with my network), and i read a daily word message on self-discipline from rev. run. it read as follows:

Good morning. You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days that you feel good. -Jerry West

that statement hit me like a brick! that's the way i was living my life. i realized that i have so much motivation when i'm not in school. hell, i'm motivated enough to get up in the mornings, get dressed and drive to campus, but as soon as i get back into school and on that campus, i don't feel like doing anything and my motivation goes completely out the window. and then i don't perform to the level in which i know i can.

so today i'm making a vow to put in as much work as i want to get out. i have goals to be a success this semester (whatever the definition of success is) and not let life's prior choices get the best of me. it's a new day, and i have the option to make good or bad choices.

today i CHOOSE to make the best possible choice to influence my life positively.

i charge you to choose to have a wonderful day!

love
