There is no rewind button…
There is now rewind button in life. I have been thinking a lot about that statement lately. It can be applied to so many things that affect our day to day decisions.
I read often on the blogs that people get upset if they skip a workout or choose to eat unhealthy. We can not go back and change those decisions…those choices. All we can do is choose to make a different one the next time. Though we spend an enormous time fretting about it
What about decisions made in our personal lives? The choices we make daily are already made, there is no rewind button. We can not go back and make the other choice once we see how this has affected us or someone else in our lives.
Is it fair to judge people we see walking around that are "fat", just because we once were? What about those who judge who were never fat? The people who have never been pointed at, laughed at or talked about like we were somehow less than a "normal" person. Having been fat once, I find that I tend to notice "all the fat people". Of course, I don’t say anything out loud…unless someone asks me how I lost all of my weight.
I have had some pretty serious stuff happen in my personal life over the last 6 months and I have spent a great deal of effort holding on to that instead of working on letting it go. I really didn’t realize that I was doing that until yesterday. There is no rewind button for that person to go back a change the choices that were made, so I need to figure out how to shed that and let it go.
I have spent some time praying about it and I am going to give it all to god. I will continue to pray that he gives me the strength to totally trust again. I will also continue to pray that people will understand the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and make those changes as well. I do not have any control over any of that so I will put it all in God’s hands.
Well, that is all I got for now…until later, Jay!
