It’s Up To You
“What?s my destiny, Momma?”, asked Forrest to his mother as she lay on her deathbed.
Momma told Forrest firmly, yet kindly, “You’re gonna have to figure that out for yourself.”
It’s up to you.
We all want to be told the answer.
We all want others to decide for us.
We all want someone else to take responsibility for the choices that only we must make.
It’s up to you.
It’s up to each and every single one of us.
We get to decide.
We get to choose.
We get to take responsibility for our own lives.
It’s up to you.
Ironically …
When others do tells us what to do we resent it.
When others try to decide for us we resist.
When others attempt to take responsibility from us we revolt.
It’s up to you.
What’s your destiny?
“You’re gonna have to figure it out for yourself.”
It’s up to you.
