Goal #3 for Lent

Choose what I want for my life instead of waiting/allowing it to choose me. Happiness, love, peace, joy, fun! Each one starts not with an event, but with a choice.

I did not realize the weight of what I was writing when I first wrote this goal. Happiness is not just about what you choose, but also what you choose to turn away from.

The greatest struggle of turning over a new leaf is how familiar that old side is. Choosing something new feels weird at first. Too weird, almost wrong sometimes, but that is only because it is something you have never felt before. It takes practice.

Whether with affirmations or a visual reminder, make sure that you understand that your habits are a string of choices that either lead you towards, or away from the things that you want most in life. So choose what you say yes and no to, wisely.
