You're Not Alone In There

There's more than one of us in each of us.  Bear with me, I'm not talking about multiple personalities, I'm talking about the internal struggle that we often deal with.  We all have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.  Which one do you listen to more often?

Maybe you're a glass half empty person, but guess what?  You could just as easily be a glass half full type of person.  You just have to choose to listen to that part of you, it's in there.  We all have the power to be optimists rather than pessimists, kind rather than cruel, generous rather than stingy, accepting rather than judgmental, it goes on and on.  You have the choice and you make a choice every time you act.  It's the one you choose that determines your character.  It tells everyone who you are. 

Most people act without examining the reasons and evaluating the likely outcomes of their actions.  Then they feel like victims when things don't go well.  We are only victims of ourselves when we make the wrong choices.  At the end of the day, you're alone with yourself and you know if you made the right choices and you have the opportunity to evaluate what works and to avoid what doesn't.  No matter what you can get others to believe about your intentions and motives, you know the truth and you will either rest easy or squirm.
