TRUTH THURSDAY #32: Back to Identity

“People only see what they are prepared to see.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

What do you see when you look down the road? What does the future hold? What do you think see? What do you want to see? You who are at the brink of everything, teetering over something great and unknown.

For this edition of Truth Thursday, let’s take a look at

TODAY’S VISIONS FOR MY LIFE

Remember, you don’t have to directly answer the question, you could just be “inspired” by it. but better if you do directly address the prompt/question. remember the mechanics:

1. Every Thursday, i will post a question or a prompt on this blog and participants will write something that answers the question or was inspired by it. (or post pictures or artworks!)
2. Participants who wrote something for that Thursday must leave a link on the comment box of that day’s prompt to let people know that they have posted.
3. TRUTH THURSDAY must be on the Title of your entry, followed by the question (so people will know).
4. This does not have to be emo– although these things tend to be a bit on the emo side, but TRUTH THURSDAYS are meant to be a fun way to bond through blog, and to get people writing and posting something meaningful and real. (disclaimer: this isn’t to say that you’re not doing so already!)
5. No pressure. Just be inspired and post something!
6. Be TRUTHFUL!

TRUTH (even if it’s not a Thursday) THURSDAY (yet): I AM CHOOSING

“I am choosing.”

I always tell myself that, especially these days. Feeling trapped is really a bad way to go. There is always a choice, and if you’re fortunate enough, it’s between two good choices. I’ve been learning, since I was a teenager, that choices lead to future choices, and it’s always better to look at least two choices ahead because I wouldn’t want to be led somewhere where I would have to eventually have to choose between two paths I don’t like.

These days I am choosing to always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.

I am choosing to stay.

a non-Thursday TRUTH THURSDAY #31: LEAVING RIPPLES

“Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.”

- Wayne Dyer

So… yeah, I’ve been pretty delinquent about Truth Thursdays lately… actually, I haven’t been consistent with it all year. So, in keeping with the trend, I’m posting a Truth Thursday in the wee hours of a Monday morning.

Let’s start with the prompt:

I AM CHOOSING.

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this before… I suppose its time is really now, right when I’m learning how it is to live intentionally, to be conscious of the choices that I have in my hand, and the choices that I eventually make. I am learning how to stop saying “I have/had no choice,” because there’s always a choice– whether or not I like my options is another thing altogether.

But yeah, what are you choosing right now, in this path that you’re on? What were the choices that got you here?

Remember, you don’t have to directly answer the question, you could just be “inspired” by it. but better if you do directly address the prompt/question. remember the mechanics:

6. Be TRUTHFUL!
