Will I have the opportunity to live life a second time? I have no answer to that question, but I know that in this realm, you and I get only one chance and one life to live.
The constructive question that I keep asking myself as I journey along now, is am I living as I should? Am I living my life or am I letting life live me?
Am I in a position to take charge of a lot of things that goes on in my life knowing that a lot of my destiny lies in my hands?
What am I doing to put myself in that position?
Or, am I just willing to ride along and take whatever fate flings at me?
We’ve been given a free will to make daily choices and even though some choices may be out of our control, the bulk of it all truly rests on us.
Each day, the mindful thoughts, the conscientious actions that we take determines how our moments play out.
Blessed be.
Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
I was having very similar thoughts just recently. Very well put, as always!

Good post. My life was salvaged a few times and when I look back I think, just living is its own art form.

It’s true that we all have our free will to make decisions for ourselves. My kids exercise theirs all the time by refusing to eat their vegetables.
