Choose
Life is about choices; therefore learn to make positive choices in the midst of depressing circumstances. Choose to be positive when everything around you is negative. Choose to walk in hope when everything around you is screaming hopelessness.
Choose to love where hatred seems to be the obvious best option. Choose to forgive when unforgiveness is screaming loudly in your head. Choose to believe God when everything looks doubtful. Choose to visualize your dreams when depression wants to drown you. Choose to celebrate yourself when everybody is rejecting you. Choose to be a victor even though you may have scars of a victim. Choose to walk away from the past even though the future may look uncertain.
Choose to soldier on even when the odds are stacked against you. Choose to get better from a situation that was supposed to breed bitterness within you. Choose to learn and not to complain in spite of your painful experiences. Choose to learn and not to regret your life’s journey. Choose to stand up no matter how many times you have been knocked down by life. Choose to cheer yourself up no matter how many times you have been disappointed.
Choose to wipe your tears and smile again no matter how many times you have been hurt. Choose to be a winner when defeat seems to be the obvious end result. Choose to succeed when everybody is gunning for your demise. Choose whatever you want to be because you are a builder of your dreams and not the resident of your struggles.
Choose to keep trying no matter how many times you have failed. Choose to keep knocking no matter how many doors have been slammed in your face. Choose to choose because life is about choices.
