The Good, The Bad, and The Really Bad

The Good, The Bad, and The Really Bad

 Life is messy.

 Messy can be interesting.  It can also be hard, embarrassing, glorious, fun, scarey and everything in  between.   We were each given a life period.  This life came without promises of wealth, fun, excitement, joy, etc.  We create our path.  We are solely responsible for this life.

It is easier to find someone else to blame when our life goes off track.  Divorce, money problems, addiction, and any other mess that affects your life, was created by choices you made.  Not your parents, boss, spouse, or society.   Your situation comes from choices, right or wrong, good or bad, that were made by you.  So why do so many people feel entitled to put the blame on everyone except where it really belongs.

I have made many mistakes in my life.  I own them.  I may not want to and it really can suck to have to admit that you are not perfect, but I do.   I cant blame my childhood, my spouse, or my boss.  My choices caused whatever mess i was dealing with at the time.  

Life is made up of choices and your not always going to make the right one.  Being an adult means realizing that you chose wrong, owning it, and choosing  another path, hopefully a better one..  See it, Own it, Change it.  If you sit in your mess with your hand held out for someone else to fix it, you will wait your life away.  Letting others fix your life, might get you by for a while.  It won't change your life.  Its only a patch.  You can't move forward until you fix the tire.

Forget about the past, its gone.  Decide you are going to be happy everyday.  Enjoy the ride.
