Choose it.

I keep finding that life is full of serious moments that can either captivate or kill you. We choose to live, love, learn and seek God in the times that leave us breathless or empty. I am finding that most people fill their lives with some ultimate challenge to divert them from facing themselves or their inner happiness.

We will love ourselves, hate ourselves, talk bad about people, limit God, limit others, limit ourselves, and limit our happiness because we are afraid of abandoning controversy. We are truly a lost and desperate race, but it doesn’t even matter. We can be completely doomed, and choose happiness within that desperate time. The sun is always shining somewhere in the world. And we can distract ourselves from bitter emptiness, or we can turn around, look ourselves in the eyes, and face our inner turmoil with both pride and humility.

We choose to see life as beautiful when all of our hopes and dreams seem lost and limited.

I choose happiness. Here’s to making this one count.
