One of my favorite terminology is “I am living my best life.” What occurs to me is the fact that we often go in the opposite direction of the actual definition of the word live. We are taking a path that can easily destroys the little of humanity that we have left in us. To live is to feel: it is to be part of the environment; it is to belong with anything and anyone that surround us; it is to belong among those that look like us as much as those that do not. We have reached a point that we don’t even care what comes out of our mouth, nor do we care to pay attention to how our actions and reactions affect those around us on a daily basis. In an attempt to spike a little sense of reserve and responsibility in those reading this blog today, I will talk about CONSEQUENCE.  

    Webster defines consequence as a conclusion derived through logic. The dictionary goes a little step further by defining it as by something produced by a cause or necessarily following a set of conditions.    

    With that out of the way, let’s dig a little bit more in the construction of the word itself and see how those two definitions are relevant to the world that we living in. The word CONSEQUENCE is composed of CON and SEQUENCE. The word CON means with, and the word SEQUENCE means frequency; Therefore, CON-SEQUENCE means with frequency. Isn’t it interesting? With that dissection of the word, it is safe to yield that consequence is the result of what was done with frequency.   

    Now that the field is properly set, I think some of you are already seeing where I am going with this. It is clear that our life is a series of action and reaction; therefore, the frequency of an event is based on the patter of choices that we have made. The great Einstein stated that, “It is insane to keep repeating the same experiment and expect a different outcome.”   

    Now that we have laid down the foundations, we can then conclude that our life is entirely in our control. We are in possession of the positivity and negativity that occurs in our life. We are the product of our decisions. My friends, it is important that we take responsibility for our actions and reactions. It is important that we stop blaming each other for our misfortunes. Take ownership of our life. It is time that we understand that consequences are nothing but our actions and reactions coming back to bless or hunt us. Yes, we are living our best life, but let’s do it with care and consciousness.
