Sunday mornings are probably the most peaceful few hours of my week. I usually wake-up between 5:30 – 6:00 am every day except Sundays, when I indulge a little more for another hour before going to church at 8:00 am. Today, maybe because of the overcast sky, I ended up I sleeping much longer to enjoy one of my more restful evenings this year. Resting, getting more sleep, learning how to relax, are a few of the many many many things I need to improve on if I don’t want to become the youngest lolo (grandfather) around, which some friends will argue I already am. Of course I can choose to become a 27-year-old lolo by keeping crazy work hours, having too many involvements, and staying a grouchy ogre. This can mean more achievements at a young age and maybe more money (which, from experience, isn’t always the case), but this can also mean a lot of white hair and perpetual weight loss. Now if I choose to change this I may or may not be healthier, I may or may not be more accomplished, and I may or may not like the changes. The point is, I can choose the way I live my life, and depending on my choices, I can either be a healthier person, a harder worker, more relaxed, or more stiff, I can be someone who contributes to the lives of others, or a leech, have more, or have less, or whatever. We don’t have to be victims to our current situations, we have a choice.
Many of us want to be healthy but don’t want to make the daily choices necessary to achieve real health. We don’t want to be fat but we don’t want to choose to eat properly. We don’t want to feel lethargic but we choose to sleep late. We want so many things but don’t want to choose the way to get them. This is a sure way to never achieve our goals and our dreams.
My encouragement for us this week is to choose well. May your daily actions and decisions bring you closer to a more fulfilled, healthier, and happier you!
