The sun sets on another day…
Sunset made me smile, in more ways than one. The world was a better place if only for a moment.
I have written many times about standing at the top of the hill looking at two paths before me and trying to decide what the best one was. At the time I made the decisions that I thought were right and later those decisions were taken away from me. For all the thinking I had done I had no control beyond myself.
Why is it that everyone thinks they can control everything but themselves? Why is it that people try to control others but feel out of control when it comes to themselves?
I asked myself this as I consider the paths again before me like we all do each day. I know that I control me and I am not foolish enough to think I have control of anything beyond me. With that being said there are some things that I feel are possible and some that may not be possible. This is because as you learn people you will find that some are predictable and most are not.
What is the solution? Maybe I need to make decisions for myself. Maybe other people need to make decisions for themselves? Maybe you need to make decisions for yourself realizing the only you can control you and you make a choice to let others control you or to live an illusion where you have control.
So as the sun sets on another day I am sorry if I took away your illusions. Still I hope you see beyond yourself and realize the wonderful gift you have been given. That gift is to choose make your life what you wanted to be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and find your path..
