Actions We shape our lives by our actions…the only things I regret are the things I have not done. Whenever we go through any challenges, hardships or difficulties in life, it always seems that things are just happening to us not for us. That we have no control over anything and we tend to play the blame game upon people, our circumstances and our environment. When you look back on a time that was challenge and see it from a distance…looking at it objectively; Its always our actions or the lack of them which is why we end up in challenging situations. You cannot change your life if you continually make the same choices and actions. Im not saying that there are no accidents or unfortunate circumstances. However, we always have a choice to deal with these unfortunate situations in a way that will help us in the future. The biggest mistake we can do is think and act for the favour of short term benefits. We can take the easier road now or the hard road now, the choice is yours but what you sow now you reap later and if you do not sow anything for the future your future will not change. If we just think about how to avoid pain, risk, discomfort, or chaos right now, without taking the rest of our life into consideration, then were just asking for more potholes, detours and speed bumps down the road. I know it is hard to train and I know it is easy to say I have a child or I have no time or I am too tired etc….But I also know I do not feel better when I make an excuse and I am worth more than an excuse, I deserve better, we all do. And if we look into our future and in one year from now what will happen if we get off that couch and train consistently for the next year instead of making an excuse we will see our future is the future we kept wishing for. If you take action today you will avoid the challenges and pain in the future. Bad habits and good habits can both be made and can both be broken. But the difference is once we make our habits our habits make us and a bad habit takes us further from our dreams, wishes and goals. Most of us know whats good for us and whats bad. We procrastinate and keep putting off the things we know we should be doing. For what? The momentary comfort? Take the pride in taking action for a better future, no matter how hard it is right now. You know its going to pay off. Take the hard steps now to have a better future and easy future tomorrow by making your dreams become reality. It is your choice you can make heaven out of hell or hell out of heaven, choose wisely. Where do you want to be in a year from now? Complaining and challenged by the same challenges today or somewhere, with someone, doing something that makes you happy and feel alive. We all have a life to live but many of us never live we die living.
