What do you choose?

The truth is we all have stuff going on in our lives; the personal battle we have to win, our responsibility at home and the society, dreams to pursue and the pressure we carry to deal with the bullshit around. Life is too busy and could be so tough and what you choose has its huge impact.

Choose courage. The process wouldn’t be easy you have to be prepared. Find your motivation to get there and stop belittling yourself because of small progress. One step makes a difference, you do not get left behind because you are just starting, and you felt like it if you will never stop comparing. Learn from failing, never get tired trying. You’ll get there when it’s time, when you have learned enough and when you are ready.

Choose patience. It can be overwhelming that you keep on hustling but not being recognized. Asking but are not provided of an answer. You will then get tired and begin to question yourself if what you are doing is worth it all. There is no timetable to success. No one can tell you when you should be married. Some things makes you wait but it will definitely come.

Choose Happiness. Be grateful of what you are and where you are right now. Do not overlook your own achievements and blessings because someone is bigger than yours. Stop envy, regrets or hate and start appreciating what you have and be proud about it. Be so busy counting the reasons why you should be happy. Your happiness will vary the way you choose the reasons why you should be.

Choose your battle. Be smart and confident about yourself that you know what is important. Not everything or everyone deserves your time and energy to get fix. Some things cannot be control. If the load is too heavy it’s not for you to carry anymore. Learn to get what’s yours and let go.

Choose Love. Do not expect that everyone will like you. Some will stirs white-hot rage within you. You may be insulted and worst will question your self-worth. You will get hurt but always remember you are capable to forgive. You are made to see what and who is best for you.

Choose Kindness. The world is full of chaos, negativity, hate, and discernment. You wouldn’t know how much time and energy that person needs to have just to be there. The world needs more people full of love, positivity and compassion. A small act of kindness goes a long way. Have a big heart to inspire or cheer people up and hands that are open to help. When you fill you mind with thoughts of kindness, you will start to see goodness and positivity around. You will feel loved, happy and enough.

You will be offered a lot of options. It’s time for you to choose.

It is so good to be in love.

Imagine a home cook meal waiting for you when you got home from a long day of work. The warmth over those endless conversation and laughter’s over that one stupid joke. It is the feeling of excitement when you kiss good night and the light in the morning when you open your eyes. The thrill over dreams together and the emotions reciprocated with a perfect amount of chaos and trust. Knowing that there is this one person who would like to take care of you- someone you can say home.

But this isn’t always the case. In love you get tired. You doubt and question yourself whether it is worth the lift of faith. It can be two people seeing each other every day but felt so far or lost in the middle or two people apart needing more space. It can be two people in a long term relationship ending up things or fighting for it or a new love that gets married. It can be two people enduring to keep up commitments or if you are lucky, in love from the start and the end. They say no one falls in love by choice because we meet people by chance. No one stays in love by chance because love is also hard work. No one stays in love or fall out of love by chance because it is always a choice.

Love is also scary but we do it anyway. We do it because it is a language that we speak, understand and are indebted to. The familiarity of the feeling binds us together and reminds us that we are not meant to give up when we once are hurt by it. It is worth the breaking and the falling and the mornings we can’t seem to roll out of bed. We do it because when we take our lasts breaths, we will be thinking about the shoes on our feet, the extra weight on our bellies that was never even there are the first place, or the cars in our garage. We will be thinking of love constantly because we never loose love.

At the end of our lives, it will be all that is left. Right now it must be all there is and all that ever will be. We do it because we are simply made to love and be loved. So we do it. We love. We are fearless, fierce, and love without reckon and limits. We love because when everything else stripped away or when the leaves fall, love is what wraps us in its arms and holds us. Love is scary but we do it anyway.

So perhaps the best feeling in the world is to be in love. By all means, love.
