Stuff happens!
The uncertainty of when and how stuff happens is a complex and necessary part of life.
Most of the stuff that happens can be categorized as good or bad, however the interpretation and categorization of this stuff, is completely up to us.
Or is it?
There are a number of things and/or happenings that most of us would unanimously agree could fall into a category labeled bad. A few of these bad things/happenings are as follows:
- Death
- Accidents
- Loss (job, financial income, relationship, etc.)
The list of bad happenings could be longer, but the three I’ve shared above typically get ranked towards the top of what is considered bad.
For most of us, death tops the list of bad.
But is it bad?
After all, we are all born to die.
There’s no escaping that reality.
So if death is completely bad, wouldn’t that make us all victims of death the day we are born?
Think about it…
Why should we grow up, go to school, get a job, get married, and create children who will share our fate, if death is the only certain and predictable outcome?
Why?
Maybe it’s because we are not victims of death at birth, but rather born to create possibility.
Uncertainty creates possibility.
Death creates possibility.
Accidents create possibility.
Loss creates an empty space, that provides room for possibility.
…or it can all just get thrown in the category we call bad and we can suffer through life as victims of circumstance.
Then again, who wants to wake up everyday under the drudgery of their impending death and the death of everyone they love?
I don’t.
I’d rather choose living the best life possible.
I’d rather live a life I get to design, by turning my uncertainties into learning opportunities, so I can create awesome possibilities.
Every day we awake, we are presented the choice to be a victim of circumstance or a creator of possibility.
Yesterday what was your choice?
Today, what will your choice be?
Tomorrow, what will you choose?
I hope you chose and will choose possibility.
I hope you continue choosing to stay inspired, it is definitely a lifestyle choice!
