The Fall

Everyone falls in life and sometimes we question what we are doing with our lives. In my mind this is the worst place to be in life but this is when the most is learned. Everyone falls and with every fall there is a lesson to be learned. In my life I haven't really had to deal with that many problems but when I do deal with the demons in life the best way to get the picture through is to face the them full front. In the last few weeks I have really learned something about myself, I cannot live a meaningless life. It took me a will to understand that there is more to life than just the mob. People are only people and you are only you.....listen to yourself and don't get caught up in what is not true to you. There are demons that live with us everyday and we must learn to live with them. Most of the demons in our lives are only there because we create them, stay true to yourself.

Everyone falls but we get up. The fall is an important part of life and why we survive and I think that there is only one way....get back up!

Freedom

I am currently reading this book called "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts, the first paragraph of this book blew me away and I think that it is worth thinking about.

"It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instance, while I was chained to the wall and being tortured. I realized, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody, helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It does not sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it's all you've got, that freedom is a universe of possibility. And the choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life."

-Gregory David Roberts

As I start to think about my life and the new chapters that will come, I think that the ultimate choice that I have is simply, Freedom. What will you do with it?
