A wise friend recently told me something I’ve heard (even said myself) a thousand times, but this time I really heard it. You know. The light bulb went on big time.
I’ve talked about happiness being a choice. Heck, I’ve talked about trust being a choice. The truth is everything is a choice.
While we were discussing a current life issue I was going through, my friend told me I needed to decide. She’d just faced a similar choice in her own life, so her words resonated. Later I was reading some inspiring reflections, and I came across the same message. It said I needed to decide what I wanted and what I didn’t want.
That evening I spent over an hour simply saying, “I decide X,” and “I choose Y.” It was empowering. I highly recommend it.
Sometimes happiness is hearing it.
I’ve grown up enough to know not to blame others for the things I don’t have. I am responsible for my life and my feelings. I also know I’m not the victim of anything. I choose how I want to view my experience, how I want to live my life.
So, I’m keeping it simple again. Life is a matter of choice. As we crest into the new year, I can’t think of a more appropriate exercise. Choose the life you want and ditch the rest. I’ve made an inventory of my life, and I feel ready and able to take the next step into manifesting more of the life I truly want, the life I deserve.
Decide for yourself and let the support flow in. Boldly move forward in the direction of your dreams. Claim your prize. Life is yours. It always has been and always will be. The more I change mine based on my choices, the more I realize how truly powerful we are. How absolutely limitless our possibilities are.
My oldest friend from high school and college says she simply can’t believe how much I have changed since I was that fourteen-year-old girl she first met.
Choose to believe anything is possible.
I am.
