Life Volitions -You Have The Choice

In life, you have the power to make one’s own choices or decisions. Find something or someone to inspire you and remind you that your choices determine your life – whether to be happy or sad, whether to look forward or back, whether you go one better, or lose, whether you succeed or not.

Remember, the choices you make impact your life and the lives of those people around you. Look for poems, quotes, or motivational talk from someone you admire to make the right choices; later in life, you will look back and be thankful that you made the decision you did!

Life volitions are tough to make at some point and time, and it can be challenging to find which option is best. In that case, look to a mentor or someone you look up to for assistance. 

Frankly, just talking about it makes a tremendous difference in the decision-making process.

In the end, if you made a wrong choice, don’t beat yourself up about it. Some of the best lessons are our failures in life; that is how we learn. Pick up the pieces, fix what you can, and move on! 

In the words of….The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

And sorry I could not travel both 

And be one traveler, long I stood 

And looked down one as far as I could 

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 

And having perhaps the better claim, 

Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 

Though as for that the passing there 

Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 

In leaves no step had trodden black. 

Oh, I kept the first for another day! 

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 

Somewhere ages and ages hence: 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 

took the one less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.

Understand What Is Your Purpose

understandI never understand the purpose of anyone’s hate carried in their hearts for people of color. They are cruel, heartless beings. And the way they got rich is even more brutal still. But what can be said about a being who is heartless even though they possess one?”

People seldom talk about how primal emotions have pushed U.S. History where race and tribe are concerned. And yet, it has always been there. It stripped the Native Americans from their ancestral lands, forcing them onto reservations, and forced Africans to work sunup to sundown while being treated as less than human.

African slave families and marriages were not recognized by American law. Owners were free to sell husbands from wives, parents from children, and brothers and sisters. Never to see each other again.

Women and girls were raped and impregnated.

Yes, lack of information has its position in all of that. As does greed, as does hate. But let’s now not overlook fear. Fear of pure white blood, getting tainted. Fear of attack. Fear of being replaced.

Fear of reprisal, a situation that gave power to the “minority,” will deal with the majority as the majority have dealt with the minority.

That soon, no white racial crew will be in a function to declare numerical dominance.

Some white people are horrified, envisioning not calling all the shots..not being in charge. And horrific things have a tendency to occur when white human beings — specifically white men— get scared.

Hence, there are more mixed-race people than white people. Hence, Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, and Charleston. Accordingly, the spike in voter suppression. Hence Donald Trump.

And, consequently, a mob of essential white, commonly men, smashing thru the sacred house of the U.S. Capitol. Economic anxiety? Who’s extra economically anxious than Black and brown people? And how many Capitols have they breached?Read More

Senator Tim Scott, how could you say America isn’t Racist? What rock have you been living under?

Wake-up America is full of Racism.
