Quote of the day:
“At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.”
~ Erin Cummings, an American actress
Some choices are irrevocable. Sometimes you open your mouth and you know, you just know, that what you are going to say or not say is going to change your life and/or the lives of others. Time seems to slow down, your breath chills in your chest, your, peripheral vision fades and as you speak, the sound of a door slamming loudly behind you echoes in your soul. This moment is etched in your psyche, a moment frozen in time where everything changed, seared into your very indentity. And you watch with tears pricking your eyelids, with intense sorrow in your soul for all the might-have-beens that just winked out of existence, and you take a deep breath.
And you go on into the new future, into the new state of being, into the different possibilities you just created. The choice has been made and now the consequences have to be dealt with.
