Regress, Stay Stagnant, or Evolve...

As human beings, we have a choice as to how we are going to live our lives.

Regress...We return to making the same decisions, mistakes, and actions that we have made in the past.

Stay Stagnant...We continue on the current path that we are on and do nothing to better ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. The status quo is clearly acceptable.

Evolve...We constantly grow, learn, and change. If we as a people are truly evolving we learn from our past mistakes and set out to not repeat them. It does not mean that we will not make new mistakes, it simply means we are not as apt to repeat the past ones.

Sometimes, the people that are in your life help to influence the decisions and actions which decide whether you regress, stay stagnant, or evolve. These people could be parents, friends, co-workers, a spouse, and etc. I have discovered that in my own life, in order to evolve I have had to say goodbye to people that had once played a big part in my life. I came to the realization that I have to be more than just an option.

I deserved more, needed more, and ultimately demanded more.


Simply put...I choose to evolve! I want to be a better man, father, and husband. I now surround myself with people that truly care about me, my goals, and my life. If I can evolve as a person, learn from the past, and be the man that I am capable of being, then I can say with no reservations that I serve a purpose on this planet. I refuse to take up space, serve no purpose, and contribute nothing to society. The world has enough of those kinds of people!
