Life, A Journey

Struggles vary based on poverty, but we still have choices

Choices in life are often limited,
the wise choice is not always the profitable
or quick profit, but the pain
in your body and stress in your life,

Is directly connected to these choices.

Is it better to slowly gain your goals,
being there to enjoy the fruits of your labor,
or push so hard that others enjoy your labors,
as they lay you to rest?

The choices we make today
have a direct bearing on our future.
That future can be tomorrow or
10 years from now.

Each day we have to make
a decision of where we are going,
where we want to be.
Life is a journey. Peace be with you.

May you choose your path wisely.

wise words. Sometimes people do not really think to consciously make a choice, and they merely become dead wood, floating down the river of realities they never knew they could have avoided......

It takes critical thinking to survive. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
