The Power of Choice Lives in The Magic of Now

The power of choice lives in the magic of now, where everything that can take place, just does. Have you ever asked why things happen the way they do? We search out life trying to figure things out, trying to find the answers. We perhaps even take time to observe from a distance. Maybe we find ourselves on the outside looking in, left to wonder.

The thing is, we create these moments, our moments. From the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep, we make choices from the options presented to us. We may ask ourselves, what matters and why? And we wonder. 

Then there’s the other side, how we fit into the storyline of what’s happening. We may ask, how do I see myself, and how do I position myself in public, at work, in relationships, and when it comes to love, when it comes to the way I live my life? 

Maybe this post is a tad too philosophical. But listen up, there’s a relevant point that may just direct you to where it is you’d rather be.

If you feel out of sorts, perhaps a little anxious, maybe a little depressed, then it’s time to ask yourself why. Why do you feel the way you do? Why are you lost in your emotions? What’s on your mind? Spend a few quiet moments to listen with your heart, and what you’d realize is that it’s all because of the choices you’ve made. 

POWER OF CHOICE

Where I am, who I am, what I do, and whether I’m happy is based on choice. We know what we know. Yet we question. What are we questioning? Do we question everything in our lives or just a few things? Perhaps we question our relationships. Who do we hang out with and why? Do these relationships build us up or do they tear us down? This is the deep stuff that keeps us up at night. It makes us think twice and then some. It perhaps even pushes us toward an uncomfortable zone where we get stuck dwelling on what was while pondering our emotions.

When we are lost in emotion, we postpone the inevitable. We delay deciding what we need to decide by creating all kinds of excuses. And we postpone making an important choice, like releasing those thoughts that get in our way, or we defer letting go of those relationships that have long since passed the expiration date. We have to understand the power we have over our lives, that being the power of choice. 

For starters, let’s look at how we decide. First, we consider the options. We then explore and analyze the pros and cons, then we assess. Finally, we determine what we need, what we prefer, what we desire. This brings us to the most important step, what we do, the action we take to get it off the ground. And this leads to the outcome that introduces you to the magic of now. What you decide in this moment leads to the next moment that can change your life.
