LIVE BY CHOICE NOT BY CHANCE!!!!

Have you all ever sat back and wondered, “Am I leading my life, or is life just dragging me along?” It’s a thought that pops up in those quiet moments when we’re not rushing to meet deadlines or scrolling through our phones.

First off, life is unpredictable—no debate there. One day, everything’s smooth, and the next, a curveball comes out of nowhere. It could be something minor, like spilling coffee on your favourite shirt, or something big, like a life-changing decision you didn’t see coming. But here’s the thing: unpredictability isn’t always bad. Sometimes, those unexpected turns lead us to amazing places.

Now, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer about the whole “leading life” versus “life leading you” thing. It’s not like we get a manual saying, “Follow this, and you’re in control.” Life’s more like a dance. Some days, you’re leading confidently; other days, you’re just trying not to trip over your feet. And that’s okay! But one thing is definitely clear that…………. The key is balance. Think of it this way: imagine you’re on a boat. If you let the waves carry you, you might drift somewhere interesting, but you could also be lost at sea. On the flip side, if you grip the oars too tightly, trying to control every ripple, you’ll exhaust yourself. So, what’s the sweet spot? It’s about steering when you can and going with the flow when you can’t.

So just ……………………………… Asking ourself ……………………. What matters most to you? Is it your family, career, personal growth, or something else? When you’re clear about your priorities, you’re more likely to take charge in the areas that count. For example, if you value health, you’ll carve out time to exercise, even when life gets busy. That’s you leading life. But what about the things we can’t control? That’s where perspective comes in. Instead of feeling defeated when life throws a curveball, consider it a chance to grow. Maybe life’s trying to nudge you in a direction you wouldn’t have chosen.

At the end of the day, it’s not about always being in control. It’s about being mindful. When you’re intentional about your choices, even small ones, you lead life. And when we embrace the unpredictability with an open heart, you’re letting life lead you in the best way possible.

So, when we get stuck, we should just stop and ask ourselves: “Am I steering my ship, or am I letting the waves guide me?” Either way, remember—it’s all part of the adventure. And isn’t that what makes life worth living?
