			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel like your life is a soap opera, and you are an innocent bystander as you spun like a top? I do. I don&#8217;t like that. </p>
<p>I think there is a fundamental concept of free will that people don&#8217;t realise. You are not a victim of circumstance, you are what you make of it. Really. </p>
<p><span id="more-444"></span></p>
<p>Bad decisions did make you, you make bad decisions.  So stop. I am making the right decision to remove the bad things from my life and hang onto the good things, and to find new good things.</p>
<p>How do you know if something is bad? Or more importantly &#8211; how do you know when something that was once good, isn&#8217;t anymore?  This is a tricky question, that needs to be answered by &#8220;feel&#8221; or &#8220;gut&#8221; or whatever you call it. The right decision is sometimes the hard one, but that makes it all that more important to make.</p>
<p>Standing at midnight in the garden of good and evil it can sometimes be hard to tell the good from the evil. I made my choice. Good in, Bad out. The end. </p>
