AMAZING

I am amazing.  I am not saying I'm amazing because I'm trying to be offensive or arrogant.  I am amazing because I have chosen to live an amazing life.  Regardless of where I have been or how I got to where I currently am, I have chosen to live an amazing life.  It is unequivocally a choice.  As an example, it's no secret that I place a priority on health.  It's a big priority for me because without health, everything else is useless.  I have a serious routine when it comes to my health, and why not.  If I don't care about my health, who's going to care for me.  It is not anybody's responsibility but mine.  It is such a priority for me that I have gotten up extremely early on numerous occasions to get to the gym to do my cardio because I knew that based on my work schedule that if I wait until the end of my day, it would be much more difficult.  On many of those occasions my wife would inquire whether I was sane for getting up in the middle of dead winter with horrendous weather.  In fact, I am so determined that on those occasions, I don't need an alarm clock to get me up.  This is the way I am with areas of my life that are important to me.  Why is that?  It is because it matters to me.  They are choices that I make on a daily basis.  That is what life is all about, choices.  All positive choices lead me to an amazing life.  I'm not saying all my choices have been positive because the reverse is also true.  However, we all have control over our lives.  We decide!  
 I saw a bumper sticker where it stated, "Today is the first day of your life."  So why not make today special.  Why not use today to reimagine the new you?  Why not start bringing your dreams to light.  I am living proof that once you raise your standard, your standards have nowhere to go but up.    It really is how you interpret alleged obstacles.  I say alleged because it's really how you see it.   I am sure we have all experienced individuals who no matter what comes their way, they seem to spin it in the most negative way.  Others, prefer to see it in the opposite direction.  I know where I stand.  The question is where do you fall in that dichotomy? Put another way, do you want to live an amazing life or not?  It really is that simple.  Electricity can be used to light up a room and it can also be used to burn down the same room.  You have all the control.  This is one of the reason's I enjoy writing inspirational articles.  We all need reminders once in awhile; metaphorical sticky notes.  We have all the tools required to live an amazing life.  So as aforementioned, let today be the first day of your life.  Start living toward the amazing life that you desire.  Use the tools that life has given you to start building your amazing life.  I leave you with a quote on point.  "Life isn't about finding yourself.  Life is about creating yourself."  George Bernard Shaw.
