Sometimes Life is Just Plain Hard!
Whether you are married, single or divorced sometimes life is just plain hard! It’s funny how sometimes life gives us challenges that we don’t feel like we can handle, but then we do. We always have choices, it’s just that sometimes we don’t like our options! When people say “I don’t have a choice”, they’re wrong. They do, they just don’t like their options. This is understandable right? I was married and I felt like I didn’t have any choices. My wife didn’t want to be married and I could choose to accept it or not accept it. I fought like hell to not accept it and I was choosing to be miserable with a woman who didn’t want me anymore. Bad choice!
When I realized that I always had choices, I began to view things differently. We always have a way to make our life better or change something. It doesn’t mean that their is some magical answer. Your choice may be right for you, but it may be a really hard decision with no immediate gratification or relief. When I chose to accept the divorce, it was really hard. I didn’t think I could get through it at the time. I did though, once I finally accepted it as my choice.
Life is forever changing and you can “roll with the punches” or you can choose to fight the inevitable. There is constantly unexpected change both good and bad in our lives all of the time. If we learn to embrace the good and fight through the bad we become better, stronger people because of it. No one said life would be easy, but it is in the palm of all of our hands to make our own destiny.
