Freedom of Choice – A Realistic Look at Our Lives

First of all, let me state that this blog post is not about what some politically-slanted, so-called reproductive rights group might try to shove down our throats about their twisted view on abortion and call it “freedom of choice”. I won’t even begin to get into how much they tick me off. If I did, this would be a never-ending blog post, because their antics have brainwashed untold millions of women (and some men too) about how to classify that unborn baby in their womb as a “fetus” because it helps them to feel better about killing it.

See? There I go. So let’s talk about something else that involves making choices. Read on…

The older we get, the more important these choices become. By the time we’ve reached 15 or 16, we have started to plot the map of our future, whether we realize it or not.

Once we finish high school (if we do decide to finish high school), we have either built our future on solid ground, or we’re on shaky ground, Continue reading

A World of Hurting People

I think just about anyone can agree with me on this point: The world is full of hurting people.

The thing is, although so many people are hurting, it seems like there are two distinct groups among these hurting people. One group keeps pushing forward, finding as much good as they can in everything, despite their hurt. The other group uses their hurt to justify being angry all the time, lashing out at people and becoming extremely bitter and judgmental.

Based on my experience with so many people over the years, it seems that a lot of this huge difference is caused by a couple of different things.

The first thing is the personality type of each individual. Some people have the type of personality that makes it easier for them to let the bad things kind of roll off of them. It takes a lot to rattle these people. Whereas other people have a natural tendency to Continue reading
