The Miracle of Choice
There are too many of us who let life dictate on what path we must ultimately travel.
The miracle of choice is exactly that; we are the only living creature on this earth that can decide for ourselves on what choice we make and what will be determined by it.
Unlike other living forms, we are not ruled by instinct and have the mind to do otherwise.
The beauty of this is the choices in life can be changed at any time to fit our needs and change our situation.
It only takes a second to make that decision to change by deciding to do so.
The miracle of choice is not in the decision to do so, but by what impact it can have on your life.
But by not making the choice in the first place, nothing will change or happen.
The sad thing is though, we can be influenced by the many people around us to just get on with life, do as you are told and do not think too much.
It is a sad indictment of life that we are not encouraged to take responsibility for our own choices in life and by doing so, becoming that much aware of what is possible.
We seem to be controlled from every angle.
In the school system, at your workplace, from your government; our future is being determined by outside forces to do otherwise.
It is a joke that in a civilised western world, we are being told how we live in a democratic society.
You do not even control the money you have at your local bank.
George Bernard Shaw once said that by thinking and using his mind once or twice per week, he became very wealthy and successful.
And that is what we need to do, by making the miracle of choice and deciding for ourselves that we are going to be responsible for our own choices in life and not being like sheep and following the crowd.
A good piece of advice that has always stuck with me is, Observe what the masses are doing and do exactly the opposite.
We will always have influences in life, good and bad.
The important thing to do is take the good influences, put your own ideas into the mix and create a life that is not only abundant, but worthwhile.
The choices are ours to make and remember, it only takes a second.
