Responses

It's taken me a while, but I'm learning that not everything requires a response.  I say this because I used to always be the Comeback Queen (still am on occasion).  I would always have something to say if I felt slighted in the least... I could never let anything go.  This could partially be a direct result from where I grew-up, it could just be innate to my very being, it could be due to various different reasons... yet the reasons behind an already completed action are sometimes of no real consequence.  The importance lies within what we choose to do when moving forward.

I say this because we are in times of reaction as opposed to just action.  We often wait for something to be done to us before we feel motivated enough to do something that moves us in a positive direction.  We wait for our knee-jerk reactions to rule our days.  We must always bear in mind that those around us often operate on what is in their heart... so the slights we feel are about them and rarely have anything to do with us.

So today I vow to try to take first steps in the direction of happiness, love, light and unity.  I will not simply sit idling in hopes that change will come to me and I will not allow the actions of others to push me to form a response that leaves me contemplating whether I was right or wrong.  I will try to put my best foot forward without needing a push.

I will be the change I wish to see because sometimes I need to step first, while other times I need to just simply let things be.  So this is where I ask you... Will you live your life based on Responses to those around you?  Or will you take first steps towards creating a better today, which will build an even greater tomorrow?

The choice is yours... (Free Will)
