Power of Choice
There is much in life over which we have little if any choice. However, there exists a plethora of areas where we have power to choose.
“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” ~Maya Angelou
Not choosing is making a choice. To be empowering choice must be a conscious process. Not choosing is, more often than not, an unconscious process.
“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.” ~J.P. Morgan
“If I have the belief I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ~Ghandi
Living an authentic life is making conscious choices, and accepting responsibility for them.
“If you don’t make time to work on creating the life you want, you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a LOT of time dealing with a life you DON’T want.” ~Kevin Ngo
The empowering action of conscious choice is a process not an event. Failure and disappointment are essential facets of the brilliantly shining diamond that is the living of an authentic life.
“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” ~Jamie Paolinetti
I invite you this week to explore the depth and breadth of your power to choose.
Blessings!
