Choices.

What we do is a choice. Other people don’t make us do we choose to do. They don’t make the choices for us. The choices we make is OURS, and ours alone.

So many times, we blame someone for the choices we make. For example, umm…”I hate what *** did to us.” Meaning, what someone else did caused me to make a decision about us (whoever ‘us’ is) and therefore it’s done.

Does that make sense?

This may be a long blog post, and it may be a short one, I’m not really sure yet. I’m still thinking on some of it.

But to be honest, choices is something that we make everyday. We choose to get out of bed, we choose to go to work even though we don’t want to. We may hate our job, but it’s what is paying the bills right now. Everyone is going through something and some people don’t know what else to do, so in order to ‘justify’ what they do, they put the blame on someone or something else. Which isn’t the best thing to do. For you, for the other person, whatever it may be.

Why do we do what we do? Whether it’s our job, the choices we make, the friends we have. Why are you friends with your friends? Why do you do the job that you are at? Is it the only place that would hire you? Are you waiting to get something better, and you need a paycheck so you’re there till what you really want opens up?

WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO??

I wasn’t going to put it anywhere, or really tell anyone, at least not for awhile, but it seems to go along with what I’m saying in this post. I’m going back to school next month. It actually starts the day after my birthday! It’s like Happy Birthday, now go to school! But seriously, I’m excited! I chose to go back to school because 1) I do like school, for the most part. 2) I am excited about what I’m going to do and what I can do. And 3) It’ll help me to get a better job, one that I will enjoy doing, and help pay the bills while I’m doing something that I actually enjoy doing!

9 people out of 10 are only doing their jobs because it pays the bills. How many people are seriously doing what they love!? I am genuinely curious! If you are reading this, tell me what you do, and whether you love it or not, and if not, tell me what your dream job is! It’s not to bash your current jobs. We all need a job, we all have bills that need to be paid. It’s not a bad thing to be at a job that you hate, unless it is literally hurting your health. When it comes to hurt your health – physically, mentally, spiritually – then it is bad, and you need to figure out what you need to do different or talk to someone there that could help you.

If you are finding yourself truly miserable, with no motivation to do ANYTHING, find a change. Find something that you really enjoy doing. If you don’t even know what that is, then just start trying different things. Find a hobby! Talk to me! We can be friends! I’d love to be friends with you! Especially if you read my blog, that would mean the world to me to meet someone through my blog! That’d be pretty awesome actually! I’ve heard some cool stories like that! Everyone needs friends that they can talk to!

This blog post went in a different way then I was intending it to, but that’s okay! Everything we do is a choice. The words I wrote were all a choice. Sometimes I say and write the wrong things, who doesn’t? But that’s why we talk things through and work them out. Some things can’t be worked out, sometimes, even though it can be, but not everyone wants to work things out. So that, again, is also a choice that someone made.

Are we making the right choices?! Look to the Bible, talk to a friend before you make any rash decisions, or are not completely sure about something. If you don’t have a friend like that, I will be that friend.

Hope this brought some encouragement to someone. Thank you for reading this far! Have a great Thursday and a great weekend!
