How did I end up here?

Do you ever wonder to yourself "How did I end up here?"

Through all that trauma you went through, the pain you overcame, the bad decisions, they all landed you right here in this moment.

How did you get here?

Life is made up of choices, they make you who you are.

Left or Right

Stay or Leave

Easy or Hard

Some choices are easy, but the hard ones are the ones worth making.

Sometimes the hard choice seems like the easy choice in the short term but is actually the harder of the two.

One thing I have learned after making both the easy and the hard choices is that the hard choices really do have the better views.

Putting in the effort, working that extra little bit, letting someone go, being the bigger person, making time for the right people.

These are all hard decisions; they may not seem that way but what is the alternative?

Stay in your comfort zone, do not grow or evolve, stay in that toxic relationship, give in to the bitterness, ignore the right people

When you look back on your life are these the choices you want to have made?

Forget everyone else, what is better for you?

What hard choices can you make to enjoy the better views at the end of the line?

These choices are how you ended up where you are.

You may not want to believe it but every choice, every decision, every left or right, stay or leave, easy or hard, has landed you exactly where you are.

If you do not like that place, change it.

Start making the hard decisions because they are the ones worth making.
