GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO IT :)

I was reading in "Something More" today and it was all about decisions and I began to think about how our decisions impact our lives each day. There are good and right decisions and wrong decisions and MOST decisions we make falls into one category or the other. Yes, some decisions are easy to recognize! Should I eat ice-cream or eat a healthy dinner? Easy....Some are not so easy like ending a marriage or staying in a place that God has me and not knowing the total outcome.

The worst thing one can do is to not make a choice either way. I was in that place for two years. I needed to make a choice and waited for others to do it for me and I ended up in all sorts of odd situations and yet all were learning curves and full of people that helped me and protected me yet it was a painful learning experience. If I would have made a choice I would have saved myself a few years of pain and yet it was my choice to wait. It is what it is. For goodness sakes CHOOSE!!

The third kind of choice besides right ones and wrong ones is BAD CHOICES. We all know those. They are choices we know are bad when going into them. We never consult with our Higher Power / God. We never ask our best friends or moms before we make these choices. We simply do not want to stop the bad we are about to do and so we do it and then after when we are in a mess we are "God, Why"??? "Mom, why am i miserable" :) and they simply love us........Examples could be showing up late for work each day, flirting when you are married, overdrawing your bank account, drinking when alone and sad, eating fast food every day, not praying, being negative and talking negative to others, lying, cheating, stealing and a big one gossip! and on and on.

Today I'm about choices. First of all I do not make bad choices very often. The other evening I was in a pout and I decided to lay in bed at 8 and cry and act the victim and I did not call up anyone because I knew i would get a "Get your butt out and do something" so .....I choose to be unhappy and silly. BAD choice. Then I got up and made a good choice to go work out and pray and there you go. When I get like this I call up my mentor and expect him to be "oh you poor thing" and he is all about "It's Choices Cheryl" and yes.....It is!

I guess with all this I want to speak to other women who are going through life changes that are whipping your butt!...... that life is right now TODAY about you making that choice. Should you get another job? Should you stop drinking or doing drugs? Should you file divorce? Should you stop being negative? Should you find your spiritual path? YES....Do it!! As my mentor says "Get off your butt and do it" and he is MOST CORRECT!!

As long as you are not making a bad choice then for goodness sakes make a choice! If its a wrong choice then its ok! Its life. Life is about making wrong choices as much as we hate that fact. We all do that and then you will walk down another path and learn from it. Waiting too long or worse NOT making that choice is self destructive and can turn into a BAD CHOICE in a moment.

Trust that your higher power / God will be there in the universe and will guide you and trust that all things will work together for the good!

And for goodness sakes "GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO IT" :)
