A Choice Is A Choice Is A Choice Not making a choice is a choice. Letting things just
happen in your life is a choice. Not putting your
definition of success into writing is a choice. Accepting
less than what you deserve, based upon your effort, OR,
lack of effort to achieve is your choice. Not liking a particular choice does not mean that you
do not have a choice. We are all constantly presented
with choices - every day, we make hundreds of them. You
can choose to be someone who makes life happen, OR, you
can choose to continue in the addictive behavior of
‘couch-potato-ism'. To me that's no choice - BUT, it IS
your choice! It personally took years for me to understand that when
I don't make a choice and simply let things happen, or let
Others make choices for me, I have given up any personal
power I may have had toward advancing the enjoyment of my
definition of success. At times, it can be freeing to give others the
opportunity to choose for us. After all, if they make the
choice ...
... for you, it is their responsibility - Right? Wrong!
Giving up the right to choose does not mean you give up
responsibility. You are still responsible, even if you
choose to not to choose.. At times, the only choice you may have is to choose your
attitude and how you will respond to the happenings around
you. These choices are powerful because they allow you the
power to stay in control of our internal thoughts even if
you cannot control the external circumstances. Making
choices must be a conscious response. Making choices, and being mindful of your choices, is
important because it helps you remember that you are the
only one responsible for the outcome of your actions. By
taking responsibility for making your own choices, with a
positive attitude in tow, you remove yourself from the role
of victim. Being a victim of someone else's choices for you
is a weak position to be in and removes choices you may
otherwise have made. Make a choice - even a poor choice is better than no
choice at all! Now, make the choice to go grab yourself a whole bunch
of sunrises of opportunity! Barry Rice, writer, speaker and consultant, is the author
