Choices and Changes

Life is a balancing act of holding on and letting go and of staying put and moving on. We strive to make the right choices, but how do we know when it is truly time to move forward with our lives?  

The signs aren’t always easy to accept, but they are there and you know it.  Relationships, jobs, and even the cities we live in have expiration dates.  Sometimes we hold on to what’s not working out of fear that we won’t be able to adapt to necessary changes.  And thus, the outcome is always the same: more pain, immense frustration, and lasting regret.  

Be smarter than that. Embrace the changes you know you need to make and make them. Promise to slap adversity back into its seat whenever it dares to stand against you. Promise to be a force to be reckoned with because you are a force to be reckoned with. Let God work it all out.
