Life is what we make it
Current mood: happy

Life.  We live it one breath at a time.   One day at a time.   Some days we breeze through happily... other days, we wish we could skip altogether.  However, it's the work of getting through the hard and difficult days that in the end makes the other days all the more sweeter.   The victory of getting through the days we would have preferred to skip... makes them valued treasures to remember.

Something I've learned through the struggles is that possession of our life is a choice.  We either live it.  Or we don't.   We can take control of the day we are given and make the most of what we have been given that day.  Or we can let someone else take control of our day and dictate everything we feel and think and let them decide for us what kind of day we will or won't have according to their moods, needs or desires.   I've done the latter.  It sucks.  And, letting someone else control our day, our life, our mood, and ultimately our soul and mind.... is the equivalent of them sucking  your life out of you.   At that point... they are living your life.  Not you.

I don't live that way anymore.   I own me.  I own my life.  I own my mind.   I live my life now.   And for the first time....I really know the joy of being able to say my life will be what I make it.  Because I am finally free of all the controls and limits dictated and set by other people.   I am free to live my life by my choices.  By my soul's desires.  

No one should be deciding your life... but you.  You cannot live your life... if someone else possesses it by possessing you. 

Freedom and self-power are so exhilarating. 

Your life, if you are in control of yourself,  is yours to make of it what you want.   And when you are in full possession of your own life... the possibilities are unlimited, and they are all reachable.  

So enjoy every breath of your life.   It's a wonderful gift.  And, if you don't think it is.... then fix it, change it.. and make it to be so.   It is within your power to do that for yourself.   If you don't think so... then someone else is controlling and limiting you.   Stop letting them do that.  Stop letting someone else run and live your life.   It's yours.  Own it.  Live it.   And make of it whatever you want.   It's your choice.   Your breath.  Your day.
