DRIFTING

There are days that come where we all seem to just wander around unable to define who we are and what we are here to do. Have you ever noticed that people tend to drift during times of "in between crisis" and "in between celebrations"? Why is it that our lives are all about circumstances dictating our moods or our thoughts or our actions? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't it be that passion and commitment and decision drive our attitudes and actions?

I'm learning about this concept and trying to put into motion the changes based on what I choose. If life is about choices then that should include the choice of action, reaction, emotion, and mood. Yep ... still learning. Yep ... still practicing.

I do notice that the times when my life seems to be really rocking along in a good and powerful way I feel that I am in charge. I don't feel swept away by emotion in those moments. I feel like I am the cause of those emotions. I don't feel like I'm drifting but rather that I'm driving.

So, today, as the weather is gloomy and full of "liquid sunshine" I choose to continue to deliberate with myself about my level of control over what I think and what I feel. I choose to leave the drifting feeling on the sideline and get into the game of life again.

What do you think?
