Make It Happen

Posted 04-18-2011 at 03:53 AM by RhondaHolscher

It’s a good feeling to be able to call the shots once in a while. There are so many things in this life that we cannot control, even if we really wanted to. For many years I felt so helpless as if I had no control over my own life. Of course, it’s not like I have control over everything now, I mean who does? Isn’t control just an illusion that we tell ourselves to make us feel better- or is it?

I’m not saying that we cannot do things to shape our future; as a matter of fact I’m really saying quite the opposite. We really do have some control over things and the things that we do today will decide what happens tomorrow. The fact is we are given choices each and every day of our lives to make and if we make them well, then we can create a better outcome for ourselves, for our families, for our businesses, and for future generations to come.

So take a good long look in the mirror and discover what it is you really want in this life, and decide what you need to do to make that happen.

If you really want to be a good mom/housewife then I say ‘make it happen’. Make good choices and decisions now to help you to become the best mom/housewife that you can be. Take some parenting classes, join local mom support groups, take cooking classes, learn how to budget your income, learn whatever it is that you feel is necessary to make you better at being a mom/housewife.

If you really want to be a lawyer then I say ‘make it happen’. Do some research and discover what you need to become a lawyer. What kind of degree do you need? What kind of school do you need to attend? How much will it cost? Can you receive financial aid or grants to help offset the expense of going to school?

If your dream career is to be a work at home parent like me, decide what career you want to do from home and research it. Take some classes, learn how to blog, learn internet marketing, or learn how to do bookkeeping.

Figure out what it is that you want and then figure out how to make that happen.

All that really matters in this life is that you are happy and at peace with yourself. If you can look in the mirror at the end of day and feel good about what you’ve accomplished, then you know that you are headed in the right direction. A happier, more peaceful you leads to a happier, more peaceful home.

If you are being the best that you can be, doing the best that you can do, and you can do it with honesty, integrity, and a little pride, instilling those values into your children at the same time, then I’d say you made it happen even if it is a work in progress.

Remember the good Lord gave us all we need to be successful in this life. We each have a special talent and it is up to us to discover it, cultivate it, and nurture it.
