This goes out to my siblings, friends and all those who may have encountered obstacles, uncertainties and situations of role conflicts in their lives.
We will all reach a certain time in our lives when we ponder about what life is and what it has to offer. Whether you're near retirement, or just crossing your "mid-lives", or in a dilemma as to what next to do in your lives, believe me, these thoughts will hit you in one way or another.
We can live the rest of lives as bitter, "old" folks; bitching about all the sacrifices we've had to make and hardships we’ve been made to endure.
OR, we can look back at the hard work we've put in, and all the struggles and achievements we’ve made in the process of living, relish those thoughts, and reminisce about all we’ve been through.
The choice is ours to make.
I will never forget the torments my mom went through in her twilight years in trying to come to terms with what and who she is, the ramifications of the choices she had made in her life, and what she had to live with and live through.
I don’t intend to follow that path, nor would I recommend that to any one of you.
Our lives are within our control. We can choose which way, how, and under what circumstances we want to live the rest of our lives.
There is no right or wrong. It’s what we want that matters.
So the next time you feel lost, or at a lost as to how to make the next move, think about all the other people who have breathed their last breaths in happiness and contentment, and also all those poor souls who gasps for those last breaths in fear and anxiety.
We should all live a better life. The choice is yours to make.
