Live Life By Design

When my father passed away over 10 years ago my Mom quickly joined a walking group, started swimming twice per week, and became really active in her church. She was always busy.

Obviously I was concerned that she was just scrambling to find something to fill the void in her life.

When I finally discussed it with her she basically said:

“You can either allow the pieces of your life to fall back into place by chance, or you can recreate it the way you want it to end up.”

That is a lesson I’ve never forgotten.

If your life has fallen apart, you can either allow the pieces to fall where they may and continue to suffer, or you can put them exactly where you want them.

It is a choice that you have to make. By not making the choice, you’re not avoiding it. You’re just accepting the default option.

Choose to live life by design, not by chance.
