The Future or the Past?

1. Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future OR will it keep me stuck in the past?

Yeah, going to take a look at the 10 Right Questions by Debbie Ford... Just reading this little chapter now and something she just wrote struck me... We are never standing still, we are never stagnating... we are always moving in either of two directions... towards the past or towards the future. Even choosing to do nothing is a choice...Fear keeps us moving into the Past, afraid of what the future might hold. The future holds our desires, our visions, our imaginings... everything that inspires us and moves and calls us... We might think that it is the big choices that make a differerence and that small choices don't make a difference... but 100 small choices in the wrong direction can add up quickly... the cost of not returning a phone call or paying our bills late or of eating one bag of cheezies and drinking one Coke... What does it sound like?? "I'll start tomorrow. It's too hard. It's not important. It really doesn't matter. I can't change. Things are OK they way they are. What if it doesn't work out??" Bullshit.

I have a gift for writing... I love to write... I have a vision of me as a writer with many books published.... Every day as I sit here and debate what to do... whether I should write or whether I should do something else... So the question is... will I choose the future or will I choose the past. I'll know because when I choose the future, I am energized, inspired, filled with passion and excitement... like when I am writing these blogs! And when I choose the past, I am fearful, confused, despondent, lacking direction, unsure and unsafe... I have the choice... I am the only one who can choose... As a friend once said "choose life"!!!
