Easier Said Than Done

It's so much easier to say we're going to do something, then actually do it. We know that we shouldn't worry about what the future will bring because we have no control over it. We understand that we should go with the flow otherwise we'd be in a state of constant struggle. We've learned that helping others can make a difference. But even with all of this knowledge, it doesn't make it any easier for us to incorporate it in our lives. Some days, it's a challenge to know what is best for us versus what we end up doing which turns out to be detrimental to our mind, body, and spirit. Each day as we wake up in the morning, we have a choice to make, whether we do the best we can with what we know or live expecting life to just unfold itself before our eyes. We may not always make the best choices, but the next time we do choose, hopefully it will be the right choice for us. Today, think about what you know to be true. Are you meeting your own expectations? If not, begin taking small steps towards living a life that reflects who you are and who you would like to be. You have the ability to do many things, if you'd only see the strength others see within yourself.

Sometimes when we see something we've never seen before we are in awe. But then we remember that somebody had to create this out of their imagination. There is so many things yet to be created...
