Choices
Life really is a series of choices. We can choose to align with our spirit and make our choices based in love and a life springs forth. We can choose to embrace our filter system and make our choices based on fear and an entirely different kind of life arises. If we are willing to honestly look at our life we can see the choices we have been making.
As a child my dad and I had a very tumultuous relationship. He lived with me the last year of his life. What a gift that was for both of us. As much as possible I choose to act from love rather than react from fear. The whole time he lived here I only got angry once and immediately shifted back into love. My dad thanked me many times for taking care of him and told me how proud he was of me. I was able to hold his hand as he died.
As I have said many times – life is and then we tell ourselves a story. I took a moment to change my story and created a very different experience. My dad has been watching videos from years ago. I can see how I responded as a young girl, feel the old stories rising to the surface and still make a new choice.
Life is a dream defined by what we tell ourselves. As I go through my day I ask myself if I want to create a nightmare or a fun and loving adventure. I also remember to ask myself if I want to be right or I want to be happy. How freeing it is when I take the time to notice my choices and then decide if that is a path I want to continue to take.
What choices have you been making in your life? What is your story about life in general and the people in your life? Are there villains in your story? Are you a victim or a powerful magician constantly creating your experience of reality? Is your life expansive and filled with so much love there is more than enough to share or is there scarcity in your life? Do you have a limited amount of love, time or energy?
What choices have you been making and do you want to continue down the path that those choices create?
With love,
Susan

The power of choice is a favorite topic of ours. Once people realize that they actually choose the vast majority of what they experience, then real change can begin. Found you on Blogcatalog and very glad we did! We’ll be back!
Hey Susan,
Thanks for the nice post. Your words are so soothing, and the same time, raises so many questions.:)
All of us have our own templates, of how we want to live our lives. Unfortunately, we forget to clean the template of the dirt of fear, greed etc that accumulates over time, and covers up the love we have for ourselves and the people around us.
I do take out some time, every week, to contemplate, where I stand in respect to my career, my relationships, my goals, and reflect on the things that I can do better.
Fear is one of those things that really stops us, from getting there where we want to be.Recently , I have come to realize, that people who overcome fear,are the only ones who deserve to be there ..n so I know I am getting there
Cheers
