The Power in Choice
Your choices are a majority of the sum total of the consequences, circumstances, and future outcomes that you experience. Choices have the power to elevate your life or lead you down a path of depletion. We were given free will (power to choose) to be the co-author of our lives and to use our human reasoning to make decisions. Your state of mind and your emotional wellness play a huge part in the choices you make at any given point in time. For instance, if you think and feel you are not worthy of unconditional love then you may choose to stay in a relationship where unconditional love is not present to affirm your belief. Case in point, if you know you deserve a job that compensates you well for all of the value you bring then you may choose to resign from your current job to say yes to a better opportunity. Reexamine the choices you make on a continuous basis and what you are actively choosing to say ‘yes’ to, to the detriment of your well-being.
Choices hold an immense amount of power to add or subtract from your life. Your ‘yes’ and ‘no’ holds the power to shift your life completely for better or worse. You get to make a choice to let go of what no longer is adding joy and peace to your life. You get to make a choice to change your life at any given time, not just at the start of a new year. You get to make a choice to strive toward better health and to treat your temple better at this very moment. You get to make the choice to keep or gracefully let go of relationships that are not nourishing you spiritually and emotionally. You get to make a choice to uproot your inner wounds and seek professional help, in order to be free from strongholds and injurious responses to triggers. May you take time to reflect on your current and past choices to determine how you want to proceed with making purposeful choices. You can decide from this moment forward that your life will look and feel wonderful on account of heartily understanding the power in your choices.
