The focus should be on choosing people or situations who WILL help us to evolve and better our quality of life. We get so caught up in the day to day routine that we miss out on what is truly important in life...we get so accustomed to living for others that we forget to live for ourselves...a wise man once said..."you can't help anyone afloat if you are drowning.." and he was so right...there are so many people around me drowning that never had that wise man whisper those words into their ears..I am so grateful that I did...I have learned through life that reality is far better than fiction..everyone is so focused on power struggles and EGO...blah..blah..blah...but realistically what we truly need to look at is that we need to remain focused on accepting our new environments and the new individuals entering our lives....each day we make a choice as to how we want to live our lives...do we continue in mediocrity...or do we live in happiness....I CHOOSE HAPPINESS...EVERYDAY :)
