"Choice"

Choice

 

Irresolution is fatal...
Nothing can rob life
and drain the soul
faster than indecision...
to vacillate, to waver,
to remain stuck without growth.

For once the heart

becomes used to expansion,
to retreat causes convulsion,
starting at the core,
shuddering throughout,
producing doubt and uncertainty
where life had begun to grow.

Resolution is life-giving...

To understand and accept
is to move forward through the pain,
holding to the good
while letting go of the ache,
acknowledging the past
without losing the present.
Resolve creates purpose,
pumping life through the veins. 

The hardest choice some people must face is to live.
