Change the road you're on!

I hear people complain all the time about all the "what if's" and "if only's" in their lives.  Well you know what, that's a bunch of crap if you ask me!  Of course, we all think about things we wanted to work out and didn't so we ask ourselves what if they had-well, what if they had?  Do you think that it would always have been this spectacular shining moment in your life?  What if it was the exact opposite and that's WHY it didn't work out the way you wanted it to?  I think what a scary place my life could have been if all the things I once wanted sooooo badly had worked out!  I could be doing, living, living with, working for, a place that is the exact opposite of what's really best for my life.  And as far as "if only" goes well if you're waiting for those things to come to fruition then get off your bum and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!    If only you'd lose those 10 pounds/get in shape/spent more time with your spouse or kids/spoke up more for yourself-WHATEVER it is, YOU have the power to do something to make it happen so stop winching and DO IT!!  You have the absolute power to change your life-no matter what your circumstances may be.  If you want to get healthier and you're on a very limited budget you still have the power to take the stairs instead of the elevator, choose an apple over a bag of chips, drink more FREE water.  If you want to spend more time with your spouse/SO/kids, then you need to take an honest look at your life and see what you can eliminate-like useless TV-and use that time to play a game or just sit and talk with them.  The road you're on in this life is not a straight line, predestined and static in it's result-YOU have the power to take a detour, change direction or just stop and reroute yourself.  Wake up every day and set your mind to the intention you choose for your life!  Don't sit back and let things happen to you, get up and make things happen for you!  Even if it's one small thing every day, guess what, YOU made that change and YOU took control and did what you wanted to do!  Stop thinking about "What If" and "If Only" because all it does is keep you stuck in that spot your soooooo damn unhappy with now.  And if there's anything that you get from this today please remember that Gaucho Pants don't look good on everyone kids-they just don't!!!!!
