Today is a day to focus on being response-able in my own life.

I cannot control every situation, people, events and so on. I spent many years trying to do just that.I was always raging against the world, my community, my family and those I felt responsible for my misery. I saw the world thorough the lens of lack and hopelessness. This left me exhausted, sad, lonely and I drank too much.

I have found a better way. Smile whether I want to or not. Choose in times of trouble to believe this too shall pass. Send loving energy to those I used to rage against. Most of all to accept responsibility for my own life and to look at life through the lens of abundance and endless opportunities. If I find myself in a hole I look around and usually have what I need to get myself out.

Weird how those around me seem happier, more supportive and at ease when I am around. Thank you for sticking around while I figured it out. Life is good and everything I need is around me or on its way.
