The Power of Choices Define Our Journey!

A lot of people don’t take responsibility for the choices they make, and they often complain of their wrong decisions and it’s real life consequences. Try as you might, you can’t escape the consequences of your decisions, whether good or bad.

Every choice carries a consequence.  For better or worse, each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor.   There are no exceptions.  If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment, why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?  – Gary Ryan Blair

In Life, Choices are Inevitable. 

There is no escape to the decisions you make. No amount of rationalizing or complaining will alter the consequence.  

We humans desire to be miraculously rewarded for every action without accepting the fact that every choice we make will result in something good or bad consequence. We need to take responsibility for our actions, and be prepared for whatever fruits it would yield at the end, at least it will be the consequence of what we made a choice for!

This responsibility is ownership of our choices with our freedom to choose our path in life, which will help us to succeed and make meaningful experiences through our journey of life.  

There is nothing like good or bad choices, it’s just choices that reward or create new experiences, new learning for success. We humans are on the conquest to achieve the ultimate success of life and we will continuously be making these choices to reach our ultimate goals in Life.

Decisions Create Destiny. 

You have the power to make choices and decide the course of your journey, your experiences, your consequences.

Life is about taking responsibility for your actions. There would be different experiences at different times of life, learn from it, let go of the past. Don’t blame others or make excuses for your failures. It’s perfectly okay to live your life with your own instincts. Everything in life happens for a reason. Sometimes those reasons could be just to guide you to the right direction in life! Be There and Believe In It.

5 Life Choices You Shouldn’t Follow Just Because Everyone Else Is Doing Them

Don’t Forget Bad Decisions Make Great Stories At The End

God created man with a mind free to choose. He created him with the freedom to select and the real ability to determine how the daily choices shape his destiny. This reaffirms that we are free to choose our actions, but it does not free us from the consequences of our decisions.

It is upon you to distinguish how you flourish in life. This means it is essential to attract what you imagine, reflect what you desire, become what you respect, and mirror what you admire.

You have the authority to create and experience the quality of life you truly desire and need. One of the most incredible gifts given to you by God is the right to choose.

The Power Of Choice

The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose. – J. Martin Kohe

Choices define who we are as a person; it shows our character to the world. To enhance the probability of making better choices and surviving bad ones, personal character and inner spirit play essential roles.

In Life we are always making choices. 

“To be or not to be”

“To Wake Up or Stay in Bed”

“To Take Challenges or Just Let Things The Way They Are”

“To Do Exercise or Skip”

“To Be Who We Are or Just Be How People Wants Us To Be”

Just as there is a hierarchy of needs, as defined by Maslow, there may be a hierarchy of choices. There are some fundamental choices we must make to survive.

Beyond the survival choices, it becomes individual, family, and community choices. We make choices as individuals on our education, career, character, etc. When we have a spouse, another set of choices appear – relationship, children, etc. At some level, we are all citizens, so there are community-related choices; for example, whether we are active or passive in a community.

There may be endless ways to look at the types of choices. 

Choices define us; you are who you are based on the choices you make. Choices exemplify our individual character.

Don’t let the fear of failure rob you the power of making choices. Doing things in a comfort zone can make you safe but moving out of your comfort zone can give you the power to try something new, something big, something great which will give you the wings to fly high and touch the sky. The magic happens only when you move out of the circle of comfort.

Be the Change By Being Responsible

By being responsible for our own lives, we take the complete charge of our journey. We become more accountable for the decisions we’ve made and we can change our lives for the better.  We can make the choice to be happy, and make a decision to react positively to all of life’s situations.  We can take control and be a victor and not a victim.  

To Choose or Not To Choose

Essentially, there is a thin line dividing two paths. We need to turn the thin line into a sturdy barrier; we need to widen the line. When you think of a barrier, prevention comes to mind as well as enhancing the chance of survival. 

Our character and inner spirit development create the barriers to keep us centered in making positive choices (i.e., increasing the probability) and absorb, potentially, the bad ones that sneak through.

Although it may be apparent how these two dimensions can enhance the probability of success in making positive choices, it may be less so in how the barriers can absorb bad ones. 

Ultimately, it absolutely will depend on the severity of the bad choice.

Having said that, a deep inner spirit may lead the individual to be more open to personal change, ask for forgiveness thoughtfully, re-commit to their faith in a meaningful way, etc. 

A stronger quality of character may lead the individual to accept responsibility more quickly, make amends in the best way possible, learn and grow from the mistakes, etc.

Bad choices can forever change a life. What happens afterwards will depend, to a great deal, how the person squares up within these two dimensions. 

The chance of recovering from a bad choice may come in different forms, meaning life may not continue as it was prior to the bad choice.

The concept of Thin Difference highlights the central role of choice in our lives and the importance of thinking through what we need to do to enhance our chance of success.

The crux of this story may be that we cannot widen the line when making certain choices. A thinness does exist between right and wrong paths when certain choices are made.

To Choose or Not To Choose Will Always Be Your Power of Choice to Define Your Journey Ahead!
