What are the choices facing you at this moment? Either you go ahead and read this write up or you choose to skip it.
At every moment of our lives we are faced with two choices. We always choose one and move ahead. But there are times when we wonder, ‘what if I had chosen the other option?’ Life doesn’t roll back for us to experience the other path, but there is always this moment, the most important moment of our lives. This moment has the inherent power to be the turning point of our lives, if only we acknowledge and make use of this power. To change the momentum of our lives, we can choose to choose differently in any given moment.
Flora Whitmore, a Life skills Coach, says, ‘The doors we close and open each day, decide the lives we live.’ Yes, our choices empower us, or weaken us. Once we realize how our life is a sum of all the choices we have made in the past, we are jolted out of our complacence. The realization dawns on us that whatever we are, whatever situations we face, whatever we have achieved or not achieved, has been of our own choosing. We are responsible for our lives. We cannot blame other people, circumstances, luck or destiny for our problems.
With this realization we suddenly look at our lives with new eyes. If we could choose our current situations, does it mean that we are free to choose ANY other way of living? If we had the power to design our lives the way we wanted to, how cool would that be? The TRUTH is that this is the TRUTH. You are the architect of your own life, so take this wonderful opportunity to re-design and re-build your life RIGHT NOW. NOW is the RIGHT time. Do not hesitate. Do not procrastinate. Whichever form of life you lead now, you can start from just that point and from there on, at every step, witness the miracle of metamorphosis. Once you understand this profound secret, your life will be a song (and a dance!). The beauty of life will unfold itself in your life.
So what are you waiting for? Ask yourself, if time and money were no constraints, or in other words if you had all the money, all the time and no responsibilities, what is it that you would love doing? Which career would you love to pursue? Give it a thought. Now pick up a paper and a pen, and write this thought down. This is your life’s purpose statement. This is what you have come here to do. Doing this will bring you true fulfillment, in terms of happiness as well as wealth.
Have you done this exercise? How does it feel? Do you feel that rush of adrenaline, or a wave of happiness surging through you? Do you feel an odd mixture of enthusiasm and peaceful calm? If yes, you are on the right track. If not, think again. Perhaps you are not being honest with yourself. Perhaps you need some more time to think it through. After all you had never thought about life in this way before. Take your time but please do it. It is the most important exercise that you have ever undertaken in your life so far. It deserves your time, and your attention.
Now start living your life, keeping your life’s purpose in mind. You cannot change your circumstances overnight; but you can live your present life fully and cheerfully, with the confidence that your REAL life is unfolding in unknown, but certain ways. Have no doubts about that.
For most of our lives we live on autopilot. We make choices but we are not conscious of them. Sometimes others make choices for us and we accept them passively. Sometimes we protest but accept them nevertheless. No wonder our lives are in such a mess. The only way out of this morass is to choose wisely. There is a surefire test of knowing the right choice in any moment. When you make a choice, pay close attention to the sensations in your body. If you feel a sense of discomfort, it is not the right choice for you, but on the other hand if you feel a sense of well being, go ahead with your choice, with all gusto. It will feel just right –because it is so.
Remember that we are one of a kind. We are unique beings. There is no one like us. Each one of us possesses a unique talent and a unique way of expressing that talent. Once we understand and accept this TRUTH, we will be guided to make the right choices. Choices that will lead us to the right path: the path to realize our life’s purpose, the path to prosperity, the path to abundance and the path to fulfillment.
A quote by Denis Waitley, an American motivational speaker, sums it up very well.
“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.”
Which choice will you make? Remember your choice has the potential to change your whole perspective and turn your life around!
If you need any clarifications, write to me. I am a firm believer that the buck always stops at us, and the choices that we make as we go along the way of life. Once you choose to take control of your life and be the master of your destiny, the universe would conspire to bring the choicest of its gifts to you and you will be humbled by the force of your own power. So go ahead! Unleash your power! I know that you want to do this. Otherwise you wouldn’t have read this write up.
‘And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it is the life in your years.’
– Abraham Lincoln
