The "Choices" We Make
by Brian J. Zahn - Certified Life Coach, Author and
Speaker
Before I go any further, let me first give you the clear
meaning of the word "CHOICE". Webster's dictionary defines
the word as: care in selecting, power in choosing, the
best part or preferred option, one's judgment in positive
direction, an appealing decision. Would you all agree that
this word is of positive connotation?
From the moment we wake up in the morning until it's time
to retire and go to sleep, we’ll make hundreds of
"choices” during the day. In the morning alone, we'll make
choices if we’ll spring out of bed when the alarm goes off
or if we'll just hit the snooze button for a few more
minutes of rest. Then we'll choose on what we will wear,
what we will eat for breakfast, if we'll make our lunch or
dine out, and which route we'll take to work according to
the traffic report.
As in life, we all make personal "choices" on who we want
to be, what friends we will have, who will be our mate and
what field of work we want to take part in. If you agree
with me, and I think you do, it's our prerogative to make
these choices according to what will make us happy. We
just don’t let life hit us in the face without giving our
life some thought in making some of these decisions.
Each and every day we make a conscious choice on how to
live our lives. However, it amazes me how we’ll let life
slip on by and let the daily grind, as well as time, take
away our focus on what we really want and what makes us
happy. Before you know it, years will have passed without
taking the vacation we've always wanted, gotten the job
we've always dreamed of, loved those to our heart's
content and spent time with our parents, siblings, and
loved ones who mean the most to us.
As your personal life coach,
let me ask you some questions:
-
If you aren’t dating anyone, what’s truthfully
stopping you from finding that special someone you have
always wanted that makes you laugh, feel special and to
give your heart too?
-
Is your relationship with your significant-other
exactly the way you want it? If not, why isn't it? After
all, you chose to be with this person for the rest of your
life.
-
Are you stuck in a job that has lost its passion? If
so, why haven't you found a new one that makes you want to
spring out of bed and enjoy your nine hours away from
home?
-
Have you surrounded yourself with friends that are
selfish, unsupportive and never around when you need them?
If so, then why do you call them your friends?
So, why does this happen to us? It happens because of the
"choices" we make about how to live our lives. We destroy
the essence of a positive and powerful word and give it a
negative meaning without even realizing it. Isn’t it
ironic that when we are confronted with having to make a
choice, not making one is the choice you’ve made.
While you are reading this, let's clear the air and take a
deep breath and relax our minds. Take a moment and look at
the "choices" you've made that have put you where you are
today. Do you think your "choices" were made mentally,
emotionally, or physically?
The greatest part of life is that it's never too late to
change it. Grab a pen and write down where you are now in
your life and where you want to be tomorrow. Remember,
life is precious and you only have one chance at it. So
take the time when you have an important decision to make
and focus on a happy "choice" that will have a positive
affect in what you really want. As I always say, “Shoot
for the stars” because you deserve life's best!
