Do you make choices, or do choices make you.

OK, grasshopper......  and?

What You Talkin bout Willis ????

Any night rides planned yet?

Was the typical "too much shit going on" kind of weekend and I was pretty burned out. I need an outlet for a minute, like many beers, shit talking and some rides.

And now something different.

Do you make choices, or do choices make you.

People always make choices. Life, or the universe, happens. You have no control over it. All you can control is how you react to it. You can't control other people, unless you're a judge. 

This goes hand in hand with part of the AA saying about "God, grant me the serenity. To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. 

While I'm not in AA, the simple logic of that saying appeals to me. Some people do get handed lemons in life, but how they handle it determines their course through life. When some black leader points to environmental issues and whines about systemic racism and generational wealth, I point out all of the black multibillionaires, multimillionaires, millionaires and mention that they must have all grown up in Beverly Hills.

Self awareness goes a long way toward understanding why we make the choices we make.

Pretty spot on.  The "Choices make you" is only when you let them, rise above and get things back on course or go is a totally different direction....but dont let anyone keep you were you don't want or deserve to be.
