I think we constantly forget we have a choice. When we make bad choices consistently the idea that we have a choice is probably not embedded in our minds and spirits to the extent that it should be.

Thanks for stopping by.

@ Janice: Well, if you like hearing about people’s epiphanies you should make sure you catch the P.I. Universe’s posts. Because when and if I have an epiphany I will most likely share it here.

Thanks.

That’s a great question to ask oneself. I love the way you worded it. I will definitely be using that for myself.

Well said.

I like to ask myself “Will this choice take me closer to where I want to be or further away?” If we know who we are, what we really want in our heart of hearts and what we value in all of the areas of our lives, like health, finances, career, personal relationships, spirituality, as well as in each of our roles – for example as writers, spouses, parents, friends, colleagues – then every single choice, every decision becomes easier. For example, every hour I spend online now has to pass that ‘golden door’ question.

I liked this post because you dealt with our choices and being aware that we ARE making them.

I loved this line “Part of our problem in making bad choices is we often forget we had one to begin with.” This is so true…I know I’ve done this…well actually both things…made the bad decision and then forgot that I had a choice. It’s just so easy to blame someone or something else. I must work harder on this…

Your point is well made and I appreciate the reminder.

@ Writer Dad: Good insight. I like what you have spoken.

@ Vered: Well… what’s forced on us by circumstances out of our control by definition isn’t a choice. The choice would be in our response.
