Declare your origionality

Choices. I’m so thankful we have them. When we’re faced with statistics, facts and opinions of others; it’s so liberating to know that we still do have a choice in the matter.

It’s sad when people base their decisions on the success rate of others. Why give so much power to a percentage rate on a piece of paper? Have you ever noticed that when you verbalize a dream of yours, there’s always someone whose willing to “protect” you by pointing out the opposing facts of that dream?

I remember a warm summer evening when I was walking around this big beautiful pond in the dark. The moon was shining, stars were twinkling, frogs were chirping... yet my heart was fearfully pounding! I was on the phone with my father telling him that I had just gotten engaged. I was ecstatic about my news; but I knew what kind of a reaction to expect. He fulfilled my expectations to the T. “You are too young to get married... statistics show that the divorce rate of marriages at your age are extremely high.” I chose to stand firm and spoke with conviction: “Dad, I’m not a statistic.” 

That conversation was six sweet years ago.

God made you to be an “original”. Are you living like an original; or are you living like a copy? Is your life full of faded attempts to live the dream you’ve had in your heart since you were a child? Did you allow a statistic to run your life?

Ultimately we all have one of two choices; the first leads to a passionate fulfilling life, and the other leads to a life-full of deprivation and regrets.

Choose today to be bold. Choose to stand out from the mainstream. Choose to avoid the pitfalls of a statistic. Choose to be unique. Choose to dream. Choose to LIVE a life of no regrets.

Declare your originality!
