The Empowerment of ChoiceDon’t you love being in control and having options? We all do. It makes everything more fulfilling when we have choices. When we are living in the energy of having to do something it doesn’t feel as good. What do you tell yourself when you get up in the morning? Is the first thing on your mind how you “have to get up and go to work”? That does not feel good to me. Is the truth that you are getting up and going to work because for today you feel like it is required to meet your financial obligations? That is probably the truth, if you are like most people with jobs they rely on. It never feels like a choice, does it?
How can you shift that perspective so that you can realize that you do have a choice? It starts with language. The moment you phrase it in a “have to” statement, you are limited.
What is the absolute truth? Would your life depend on you going to work? I mean your actual life in the moment. You would not perish if you did not get up and go to work. So that means you do have a choice. You are choosing to do this because you like to pay your bills and provide for yourself. Just start with waking up tomorrow and telling yourself you are choosing to get up and go to work because you like the money it provides. Do you tell yourself you hate your job and it is the only one you can have? Stop and examine the real truth. Is it the only job in the world? Do you stay because you don’t want to take the trouble to look for another job? Be honest with yourself and ask yourself for the truth. You will come to see that you are in that job because you make a choice every day to continue. As long as you can remember that you have choices, you realize that you can change and make other choices. That is where the power comes in.
The moment you change your focus and decide to look at your life with the knowledge that you have choices, you are in charge of your life. Doesn’t that feel 100% better?
Every thought and action that you are making at this moment is a choice that will determine your future moments. What choices are you making right now? Are you choosing language and thoughts that support and empower you? Take the 24 hour challenge and just for that time, tell yourself that you are choosing your actions. You are living in choice, every moment. Choose to empower yourself!
