Life is nothing more than a series of choices that we make for ourselves to meet our needs. Even not choosing is a choice. Every choice we make has consequences, and these consequences can be empowering or disempowering. The important thing isn’t to blame ourselves if we’ve made a poor choice, but to become aware of the choice, the thinking behind the choice, and to notice any patterns in our choices.
Once we’ve done that, we can see a blueprint for how we shape our life.
If we don’t like the blueprint, then we need to learn how to make different, more empowering choices.
What are the choices you have made?
Take time right now to write down the positive choices in your life today. What choices have made you happy, proud, joyful? What are the great things in your life because of these choices?
Now write down the choices you have made in the past in your life that you perhaps don’t like or didn’t make you happy. What choices are you unhappy about? What are the consequences you have noticed because of these negative choices? What have they cost you?
Have you tried to or succeeded in turning around these choices and what have you noticed within yourself as a result of this effort? What are the positive learnings you have made or could make as a result of these choices?
Its now time to make new, empowering choices…….. so finally write down some new choices that will empower you, lead to new learnings, allow you to get rid of some things you have been tolerating, give you the freedom to explore, to love, to learn, to grow and to give.
