The Roller Coaster of Life!

You Have The Power to Choose Where and When to Get Off!

Speaking out of personal experience and from talking with my loved ones, I have realized that we all assume life is supposed to be easy, without challenges.  We expect all situations, relationships and choices we have the power of choosing, to be easy. When and why do we have this assumption? If life were without challenges, we would all feel unfulfilled and bored!

Every situation we are in, we have the power to attach meaning. It is our individual perception attached to that situation that gives it meaning. If we find a situation challenging and over-whelming, step back and observe the situation from a new perspective to become empowered to change our outlook.

Any quality relationship we feel is important to us, always requires constant work. Because we are all individuals with completely different life experiences, we all think and feel different about every experience in life. Relationships with spouses, siblings, children, parents or friends, impose different challenges required to teach us something about one another. Just like our careers, what we put into our relationships is what we get out of them. Neglect one another and our relationship will diminish. We all have the power of choice as to what kind of relationship we want and what we are willing to work for.

So if you want a consistent and predictable life, go find someone who is very similar to you- not promising it will be easy. But if you want a life resembling a thrilling, roller-coaster of experiences, choose to be with people who add excitement and unpredictably and be thankful your life is so wild and adventurous!
