Piss Poor Choices!

Realizing that much of the heartache in life is – with few exceptions - a direct result of your piss-poor choices is a bitter pill to swallow… indeed. But the good news is this: Life isn’t static or binary, but subtle and nuanced, and we can change our minds at any given time. The bigger question is why don’t we? Maybe it’s the sense of security holding on to duplicitous beliefs provides. After all, it’s much easier to believe that it’s someone else’s fault and not our own fear and self-loathing that has led us astray. The devil tricked me, Eve ate the apple, and I’m not good enough. Sure, these excuses provide a false sense of absolution but do nothing to rectify the situation. Granted, I don’t have all the answers and never claimed to. But until we acknowledge our shortcomings and listen to different points of view, nothing in society, or our personal lives, will change.
