Choice!
What Choice Do We Have? I say a lot about choices. At the risk of overdoing it, I still have more to say on the subject. We have choices in our life. It often seems like we do not but we do. We can orchestrate whatever we want for our lives. We are not at the mercy of other people and circumstances. What we have that is the most powerful thing of all is our mind, our thoughts and our perceptions. No one can make us think the way they want us to without our permission. And it is our thoughts that direct our life. We have no control over the weather, hurricanes, tornadoes and floods. We cannot control in a large way our politics, our commerce, and other peoples' behavior. But we do have control over what we do with what happens in our life. What beliefs we attach to the things that go on around us is more important to our lives than any other factor. Perfect examples of this are stories we read about everyday, where children born with disease are courageous and positive. People surviving under challenging circumstances are doing great things and motivating others. They are living with what has happened to them and creating wonderful things along the way. Did you know that we do not have to be sad? It is a choice. I know that there are things that happen in our lives that we do not like and that cause us concern. There are people we love who are ill and whose lives look to us to be in a bad way. There are sick and starving people all over the world. World politics can be gloomy and we can do little about it. Did you know that in the midst of what looks like a scary and unfriendly world, there are people who do not think it is? We cannot be hungry enough to feed the world and we cannot be sick enough to heal the world. All we can do is choose for ourselves. We can choose to know that Divine Order prevails and that our job on this planet is to be the best person we can be. If we are compelled to volunteer, to join a crusade to make a difference, that is our inner promptings and we should follow. And when we get to that place, we do it with enthusiasm and optimism. That is our choice. Our thoughts are our own. Our feelings are our own. Those are the tools we have to create our own life. We are unique and intended in the large scheme of things. What is also intended for us is happiness. And we have a say over that. Profound thought for today: "When you open your eyes tomorrow morning, look out at the beautiful world and know that how you feel today and for the rest of your life can be decided by you."
