I was recently asked, "If you knew at age 20 exactly how your life would end up, would you change the course of it?" I said, "No question about it, NO, I would not change anything" She was a little surprised by my answer and told me that she would change a lot if she had the chance. OK, so for me, and this is obviously not for everyone. I think all the trials and pain that I have seen in my life have made me who I am. It's hard to imagine any other life other than I've lived.
I think I knew before I came to earth some of the trials I would have to endure; it's selfish to think we could all go through life without any problems. Solving those problems and finding a solution makes us stronger; it's what builds character.
We often, me included, complain about our lives and some of our decisions; however, they were OUR decisions, and we have to, unfortunately, live with the consequences of our choices. I'm glad that we have the agency to choose for ourselves the path we will take, but those choices are not free, and they usually come with a consequence.
When an agency is taken away, and someone or something else makes a choice for your life, you learn to develop strength, patience, and endurance. This is when true character is tested; how the trial will affect your life is still your choice. You choose to learn and grow from it or let it fester and grow into an evil disease that is soon not easy to recognize and takes over your life. The VILLAIN is has been my adversary, but I have learned that in this life, our enemies can become our choicest friends; the secret is in knowing what to do with the conflict
LABELS: CANCER, JOURNALING, RANDOM
