The sun sets on another day…
The storm was there. It was coming, and even though I saw slivers of light, the world was anxious with anticipation.
It was after sunset tonight when I stared up at the sky and watched streak lightning spray across the horizon that I thought about all of the times that I have almost not believed. I say almost because I usually find a way out of the depths of the almost and find the way to positivity. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have moments where I feel the weight of the world or a moment of insecurity, it means that I find a way out of that each and every time.
It’s easy for everything to weigh down on us. As Thunder clapped and sprayed and rumbled across the world, I thought about all the people that find a way to blame everything but themselves and give credit to everyone but themselves. It makes it tough and takes away the self identity that made them who they are.
Every day we face difficult situations that are meant to knock us down, and every day we make the decisions to rise up and find a way past it. Every day we find a way. I know it is easy to blame the next door neighbor, the cat, the dog, or a dozen deities that are hell bent on taking away the good things in your life, but no matter where you go there you are. You have the choice of letting the world run you, or running the world.
For several weeks now I have had frustrations with a particular item in work and the problems associated. It seemed like an easy fix, but each fix on a system caused another issue until finally it was solved today. The solution was wiping the slate clean, starting over, and doing it right. Maybe this is our solution, let’s consider that sometimes you just have to start over, do it right, and make the world yours.
So as the sun sets on another day, it’s all you. Make good decisions and take responsibility for both the good and the bad in your life and move on. The problems that you face today will be faded memories in a very short time. Sometimes you just have to let it go and make the world yours, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and thunder strikes…
