Lately I’ve been in high spirits and my faith level has somewhat dramatically increased, and no this isn’t due to the fact that things are going so smoothly and so wonderfully well for me. In fact there are alot of tough things going on in my life, at work, and in my own personal life. But I guess I’m not dwelling too much on it. I’m not fretting about whether tommorow’s gonna be another good and bright day. In other words I’m choosing not to look at the difficulties in my life, rather I’m CHOOSING to be happy at work, to smile, to laugh, to cheer my friends up, to offer an additional help even though I’m sooo caught up in my work.
I’m CHOOSING to stay longer hours at work to see how I can fix my problem, I’m CHOOSING to open up to my colleagues about any difficulties I’m facing at work rather than being all Mr. Independent and dwelling on my own issues. I’m choosing to listen to work people have to say. I’m CHOOSING not to let the insults and bad negative vibes affect me.
I’m CHOOSING to be as close as I can to God, worshipping Him, lifting His name whenever I can, and trying to work His way in everything I do. It’s tough I know, but I’m CHOOSING it anyway.
When God made us in His image, he bestowed upon us the greatest gift that any living creature has been endowed with; the freedom to choose, the freedom for us to do what we want to do.
Yet sadly, some people, sometimes yours truly included prefer to dwell on matters. We prefer to concerntrate and pour out our energy on whalling over a problem, on criticizing and blaming others for the state we’re in. And dwelling is really easy ya know why? Because the responsibility is not on you, dwelling doesn’t require anything on your part, dwelling makes you feel that the whole world is weighed against you and you have no hope at all, that because of such and such circumstances, you are where you are today. I find myself doing that, but I quickly try to remind myself to snap out of it and instead CHOOSE to do something about how the situation is.
Maybe that’s why I smile too much these days…it’s because I’m CHOOSING too 🙂
