Life is a succession of choices. You have the ability to choose. Don’t choose to spend your life wallowing in negativity, failure, ignorance, poverty, shame, or self-pity. Choose instead to let go of old hurts and old belief systems. Choose to raise your sights, develop new belief systems and reach for the success that you desire. Choose confidence, peace of mind, contentment, fame and/or fortune. Choose to navigate your path wisely and you will meet with a success you never believed possible. We can begin to live a new life any day we choose. It doesn’t mean our old lives go away. It means we’ve started down a new path.

Developing new beliefs isn’t always easy. We have to commit to it. We have to work at it every day. Like any other journey we may take, we will come across roadblocks, dead ends, and detours. We may even run out of gas. But we have the power to make the choice of which direction we will take and whether or not to complete the journey.

Things happen for a reason and we get through them as best we can. Hopefully, we learn from everything that happens. We are who we are because of all that has gone before and all of the choices we have made. We made the best of things as they were, with the knowledge and skills we had at the time. As we grow, have more experiences and learn more lessons, we are able to make different and better choices. We need to have faith that we will learn to make the choices that will get us where we want to be and obtain the success we desire
