Happy Birthday!! To Me

15th December, 2011 - Posted by Troy - No Comments

It’s fifteen minutes before my second annual 39th birthday and I can’t help to think that I’m 40 years old. It’s amazing how many things a person stores in their head in 40 year on this earth. The experiences that we go through. The people that come and go in our lives. The vehicles that we have owned. The places we lived. The opportunities that we took, or didn’t take. What if you had made just one decision in your life differently. How much could that have really changed your life?

I always used to think that everything happens for a reason was because that was how it was intended to happen. When you buy into that way of thinking, you are setting yourself up for failure. You are saying that if something bad happens, that it was meant to be because. You have no control of your life or anything thuat happens in it.

I still buy into the idea that everything happens for a reason, but the reason things happen to me is because of the decisions that I have made, making, or yet to I just thought that I had bad luck. If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any at all. Bull Shit! I made the decision, I put myself in that situation.

I’m happy to say that I have made some good decisions in my life and I have taken an active role in making my life better. Today on December 15th, 40 years after I cried for the first time, I’m happy to say that life is headed in the right direction and it’s because I took an active role in my life. I stopped complaining and bitching about everything that happened to me. Why me?

If this is you, stop and think. What would happen if you took an active role. What if you started to make things happen for you in a positive way. Get off your ass and make your life better, stop blaming other people, places and things for your life being the way it it. If you don’t like it, change it. You are the only person that’s going to.
