Options! Sometimes we feel we do not have any, but we always do.
Whatever state we find ourselves we always have options, even if we do not necessarily like the options we have. We can remain silent or speak. We can move forward to the future or stay stuck in the past.
We can love, hate, or remain indifferent. We can act or do nothing. We can forgive or let it go. We can stay or leave. We can focus on what was or push to what will be. We always have options.

Do you find yourself in a place where you do not want to be? Are you constantly feeling that you are living below your potential and below your standards? You have options.
You can stay there or you can move to a better place. You can be stubborn and not ask for help or you can realize you cannot make it on your own.
What will be your choice? I pray you make the right one.
