The world is a big place with millions of people making all kinds of decisions. Many people are kind and loving, and make choices that bring goodness and charity. However, there is wickedness all around us and sometimes those who seek it make decisions that create problems and danger for the rest of us. Although there is plenty of light for us to trust and rely on, there is also an element of darkness just a step away. As we navigate our lives sometimes our path is influenced by pressures around us and we may end up somewhere far away from where we want to be. Those who wish to control or manipulate can be very cunning and convincing, and if we aren’t careful we may be fooled into following them. When we allow others to control our lives or color our decisions we may choose things that impact us negatively. We know what we want and have all the power we need to achieve anything we desire. We can be wise in our decisions and choose the best way forward even in the midst of confusion. If we take the time to see everything objectively before we decide we will find the road that will take us where we want to go. Our lives belong to us and we are responsible for every decision we make. If we take a wrong turn we can change direction and redirect our course going forward. Nothing is permanent and even if we’ve gone far away from where we want to be we can find our way back. We deserve every happiness and success. Nothing is impossible and we can do anything we desire.
There are many influences around us all the time and if someone wants something from us and it compromises our standards they may try to convince us by telling us they’ll only ask us this once and never again. If we care for them we may go along but if we step away from our core values one time it will be easier to do it again. Once we open the door to options outside our ethical standards we may muddy the waters going forward and it may become harder and harder to find the road back to where we really want to be.
Some people lie to accomplish their objectives. If we do, we may well reach the goal but the lies will follow us and until we’re ready to tell the complete truth will live dishonestly. There is nothing positive to be gained by deceit or trickery. It will only lead to more lies and more confusion. Our lives may get so tangled up and turbulent it may be hard to find our way forward. We can always stop and correct our course and choose another road. We can turn toward truth and choose wisdom going forward. When we do we will find comfort and clarity, and every option will be available to us.
Today if you’ve been tempted to do something that is not in keeping with your personal standards, remember who you are. You are precious and valuable, and every choice you make expresses your worth. Nothing is more important than your personal integrity. Be wise and make excellent choices. They will take you where you want to go and bring you increased success. You are powerful and intelligent, and nothing is out of reach. Choose wisely and every destination will be possible.
