One life


As Gloria Gaynor sings “Its one life and theres no return and no deposit”  As we grow up, wise up and live we realize that we, ourselves, are 100% responsible for our life, our journey, and our own actions.


Some people choose to wait for something to happen, or what for a break or wait for luck to happen.  They will find in the end, that opportunities passed them by too many times.


I recall while working at a large hotel, hearing talk in the cafeteria.  I would hear others talk about how someone did them wrong and how the system is holding them back and how life prevents them from moving forward.  What I heard was I am a victim and I can’t help myself.  I need someone to live for me.  Today, my advice for them would be stop!  Stop being a victim.  Start living your life.  You have the ability, power and wherewithal to live life, if you choose to. 


I remember the people who surrounded them, they were all agreeing and nodding in compliance.  That is a problem.  You need to surround yourself with people who make you a better person.  People who will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.  People who will encourage you, help you and be a cheerleader for you.


Your life will be what you make of it.  Yes there will be hurdles.  No it will not always be fun.  Yes it is rewarding.  No there is no rule book.  And, circumstances are not always in our control and things that happen may not always seem fair.  You may not get what you want when you want it, you will get what you need when you need it.

We can be the change we seek in this world. and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One life at a time.
