I always have a choice.

"The most challenging, and ultimately the most liberating, aspect of this declaration is its absoluteness. I am not offering you any back doors here. No exceptions, ifs, ands or buts. To shape yourself and your world, this declaration has to be absolute.

In each and every moment, you have a choice. What you do with those moments and choices is up to you, but they are all yours. Every moment, you choose.

There is no end to choosing and no escaping choice. You can see this as a blessing or a curse or accept it as it is intended: a challenge to rise to, a means to temper yourself and to forge a new you."
— Chris Majer The Power To Transform

I always have a choice.

I am finding "I choose to" or I choose not to" to be quite empowering. If "I choose not to" rather than "I can't", it is a conscious choice and not one made from a negative position. It is within my power to choose and I am taking responsibility for what I do and not "letting things happen to me". Does anyone agree with this?! What do you think? IT'S YOUR CHOICE!!

Hi John, Long time no talk. Looks like my timing to your site is perfect. "I Always Have A Choice" looks fascinating - thanks for the tip. I've not thought of 'choice' as being a challenge (although it can be) but rather as one of those unique gifts that links us as humans. Staying conscious -aware - of those choices, being responsible to and for them, that can be the tricky part! :-) I look forward to your comments on this journey.

Sandy, I agree (as if THAT mattered ) The OPENING & CLOSING involved (and invoked ) with "I choose not to..." versus "I can't..." is indeed empowering— liberating, as well.

Very cool. Thanks!

Hi Ms. Never a middle-of-the-road-ton. Good to "see" you here (there, anywhere )

There are many "challenging" choices I face. I wish I knew "why" I make some that I do— and don't.

We (people) speak about the opposite of love being fear. I wonder if the "real" opposites are fear & choice...?

NOT that's it's all good, but... it's all good to look at, deeper, more freely and choose the things that open & close the possibilities that interest us most.

Thanks, again Jillian.
I appreciate you.
