The Gift of Choice
One of the most significant and life changing universal truths that I discovered was the gift of choice.
One question I am always asked is “why do I feel so lousy and why am I just not naturally happy?” or “Maybe I was just born to be miserable; some people just have it easy”. While this may seem true to many, it is only their perspective that is limiting them. Everyone experiences blockages, but those who are happy or seemingly have it easy may have already accepted and changed their outlook on themselves and their lives.
One of the universal truths that many people are not aware of is that we all have ‘choice’ in our lives. Even if we cannot control the events in our lives, we can choose how we will respond to them. The perspective we have regarding our ability to ‘choose’ things in our lives either hinders or heightens our experiences. The truth is that everyone has complete free choice when it comes to life. So much so, that whether we realize it or not, we have been choosing our life experiences prior to entering this world.
As each of us sets out to learn certain lessons, we choose a life that reflects these lessons. This includes both positive and negative experience. When we come to accept that we have the choice to change our lives, we have the power to transform them any way we like.
