Choice. We are very fortunate in our country to have the ability of saying “I choose…” Not only can we say I choose, but we can complete the phrase and identify specifically what we choose. But here is the requirement: you must work to make your phrase true.
Here is what I mean. Let’s say my phrase is: I choose to be happy.
I must commit to making this statement come true. Since happiness is a choice – I can choose to approach each day with a positive, optimistic and upbeat attitude – or I can choose to let life push me around. So, I wake up each day and make the statement, “Today, I choose to be happy.” I may still encounter difficult situations during the day but I now remind myself that my attitude and outlook is to be optimistic, upbeat and happy. I choose how I respond. I choose my outlook. I choose how I react. And, my results have been astounding. Situations that would normally take me down, now rarely upset me. And when I am upbeat and happy, I see the world in a new and more positive way. I see the good side of people and they respond more favorably. I now see many more opportunities; I am open to new connections and ideas. My business has significantly improved – all from a personal choice to choose happiness. Seems like a no-brainer…
So, now it is your turn. What do you choose? What do you need to be in place?
Say it often each day, “I choose _________.” See not only that you have a choice, but more importantly, you can determine what that choice is.
Choose health, happiness, prosperity, honesty, integrity, creativity, responsibility, relationships, ownership, or whatever else is needed in your life. Choose the things that will improve your life and help you live a more significant life. Choose the right things for you. Stay focused. Stay committed. Step up and choose what you want for your life.
