Giving My Life A Good Name

Giving My Life A Good Name   Life is a gift that each of us is free to accept with healthy personal decisions or reject the burdens of "the shoulds", imposing "labels" on self and others or seeking to blame our circumstances on other people for the paths we choose.     We are also free to build the personal guidelines or foundations on which we wish to live this gift of life.   We have the individual power to re-decide our foundations if a change is needed to be healthy and happy.   One of the major challenges we each have is to decide the various locations we place ourselves on a continuum of life.   We can value ourselves for just being human at one end through assigning value only for what we do or do not accomplish during our life journey at the other end.   Answering the question of "Who am I?" tells us a great deal about how we personally choose to see this gift of life.
