Motivational Monday - Choices

This past week my mom and I had a good chat. During the conversation she preached one of her favorite, as I like to call them, "Carolisms," otherwise known as laws of life my mom (Carol) created.

"You are going to have to make choices in your life and those choices are going to define the path in life you take," she told me. Growing up her send off message when dropping my sister and I off at school or an overnight sounded something like, "Bye, I love you. Make good choices." Having the right to choose is powerful. I think most Americans don't even realize how great having that freedom is because it's our birthright. Having choices though, can also be overwhelming, like when you are at a buffet and you start feeling anxiety because you want to put everything on your plate... Maybe that's just my problem. Also how I gained my "freshmen 15," unlike most who gained weight from drinking. We have to make choices everyday, multiple times a day. What are you going to eat? How will you spend your time? They might seem menial at the time but each choice adds up to the bigger picture. What do you want your picture to look like? What choices are you going to make to get there?
