Road Construction

There is a road construction going on presently along the route I usually take to work and back home. As expected this construction work is causing a lot of traffic. The first day I fell into the stream of it I called my husband three times to complain! It took me approximately one hour to get to work when on a good day I would have made it for 10mins! I dislike going late to work, but it cannot be helped as there are no better alternatives. The other routes are too long and besides they probably may be worse that time of the morning.


Left with no choice, I had to flow with the traffic day after day. Towards the end of the week, I noticed that I was no longer complaining. As a matter of fact I noticed that I was getting used to the slow traffic.When this realization dawned on me I began to wonder about human nature. How many inconvenient, annoying and uncomfortable situations have I got used to in my life? What irregularity of life have I accepted as the norm that should not be? What should I confront, but have resigned myself to accept?


Like the annoying traffic, a lot of us are stuck in jobs we do not enjoy, but remain because we believe we have no choice. We remain in relationships that are not going anywhere because we are afraid to be lonely. Each day I drive to work I see the progress in the road work and so I know for sure that I will enjoy smooth traffic again in the very near future. What about you? Do you see progress in your present position? Will your present position or circumstances at work change for the better? Will that man you are dating propose anytime soon or is he just wasting your time? Take a good look at your life right now and tell me, are you enjoying your life as it is or are you just resigned to it?

You have the power to create a beautiful life for yourself. Stop accepting and resigning your self to ugly situations.You have to stop allowing people insult and abuse you. The life is yours and not theirs. You are worthy to be appreciated and celebrated so stop keeping company with those who do not care about you. Do not be afraid to select between what you want and do not want out of life. Take charge of your life and truly live.
