I am sitting here staring at my Finite Math homework, as I’ve done for 2-days now. This assignment, this class, has me feeling utterly defeated. And as I struggle through this horrible Math-Lab I can hear the laughter bubbling upstairs. So I know that my roomies are having a blast. Part of me wants to hop up there to be a part of the silliness. But the grown-up in me says “You haven’t earned the right to play yet, because you haven’t finished your assignment; due tonight.” *sighs* Of course I am also blogging and watching Oprahs’ Master Life Class and so much is populating in my brain. But I promise you, this will be a short blog. I will soon be back on question 7/10. And I will turn in my assignment on time. I promise!
Why do we forsake our priorities for a seemingly fun decision? I mean, the fun moment only lasts for A MOMENT. But the effects of our decision(s) ripple through the universe and always come full circle. I have never seen these decisions made based on temporary feelings work out for our good. Just because we can do something, doesn’t mean that we should. Do we ever ask for Gods’ guidance when we make such choices? Do we ever say: If it’s for me, it’ll be there for me when the time is right? Perhaps it isn’t our season. When I was a kid (referring to my 20’s), I used to make those kinda choices. I felt like “Oh screw it. Ya only live once.” Do you know that for the most part I am STILL paying for those choices, 10, 7, and 5 years later? It just isn’t worth it.
As I watch Jane Fonda a 74 year young woman speak about facing her fears, living her life the fullest and making responsible choices on Oprahs’ Master Life Class I am further reminded of my purpose in life. I am reminded that it is not all about me. I am reminded that the goal is to be in total peace with our decisions. I am reminded that a healthy mind, breeds a healthy body and healthy decisions.
“We are all apart of everything. We are energy. We are all connected.”-Jane Fonda
Ergo, our decisions are all connected. Why not make them count?
