The Pivotal Moment

by Jesse James Doty

 

That’s when you have a chance to make a fresh start.

 

Grab that chance with both hands and create a brand new life for yourself. The pivotal moment happens infrequently. So you better take a hold of that ‘puppy’s tail’ and give it a twirl, before it’s too late.

 

I write this based on past experiences. I’ve been there. Some of the time, I’ve blown it, big time. Other times I drove straight through, as if I’ve driven this road all of my life.

 

We only get so many opportunities to start again, so don’t let the door hit you on the backside, while you make a decision on how best to change your life.

That pivotal moment may not come again. You’ll never know when the next choice decision, will be your last time to decide.

 

Live every day to the fullest, as if it were the first day and the last day of your time here on this planet.

 

That way, you’ll never miss a great opportunity that looks you straight in the eye, and wants to know why you passed it by.

 

When you’ve reached that pivotal moment, take stock of what you value, and what has got in the way of your laudable goals in life.

 

Prepare to make lasting changes that will strengthen your bold convictions that say, you can start again as fresh as a daisy, and accept yourself for who you truly are.

 

It is not easy, but it is a worthwhile departure from your past mistakes that have cost you many friendships and lovers.

 

 

Next time you come across a pivotal moment, remember that making difficult changes will help build your self-esteem.

 

It will also give you plenty of wonderful friends and lovers, who will make you smile at the thought of a brand new loving relationship.

 

So make that pivotal moment matter in the best way you know how.

 

It will pay you in dividends of pleasure, reminding you of how you jumped at the chance to improve your life, and did it at your first opportunity.
