“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours — it is an amazing journey — and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” Bob Moawad

Today’s thought addresses one of the problems experienced in our current society. Far too many today take credit for the good in their lives and quickly find ways to blame someone else for the bad.

We also find the challenges of a culture that believes happiness is wrapped up in the external circumstances and the environment in which we were born. The result drives a mindset that “if only” the circumstances or environment were different, happiness could be found.

Recognizing that the quality of life is based on our choice raises the level by which we view life and the approach we take to it.

If we want to begin the life God desires for us, then let us live each day as the divinely given gift it was intended to be.
