7/21/2006 - CANNON AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- We are the masters of our destinies. Although it may be more convenient or comfortable to blame others for what occurs in our lives, the fact is we control our destinies. And, we do so by the multitude of choices we all make each and every day. We can change our lives by the choices we make!
Every waking moment, we make choices. We choose what to eat. We choose whether we exercise. We choose what to put in our minds. We will choose the people with whom we interact. We choose whether we will be kind to others. We choose whether to be happy or not. We make hundreds of decisions that directly impact the quality of our lives.
Some of the choices we make will have immediate impact. Others will have an impact days, weeks, months or even years later. But, make no mistake about it; the multitude of choices we make today will have an enormous impact on the quality of our lives tomorrow.
We live in a very competitive world, especially in America. From our entry into the school system right through to our participation in the military world, we are constantly in a competitive environment.
Forced rankings in school and at work have us growing up very competitive. Literally, from a young age we are programmed to compare ourselves to others.
No matter the current conditions of our lives, we are blessed. Because we are alive, we have opportunities to experience, see and hear the wonders of the world.
We are blessed with personal attributes, skills, wisdom and relationships that together create the potential that enables us to experience wonderful things.
Of course, it is easier to blame one's perceived shortcomings on circumstances rather than on our own failure to use that which has been given to us.
Blaming others for our performance shortfalls is, unfortunately, the norm in our society.
We can languish in a world of blame and pity. Or, we can assume responsibility for our performance and make ever better choices.
Yes, we can choose to be the very best that we can be! The choice is ours!
