CHOICE – What does it mean to always have a choice?

When it feels like you are pushing a large rock uphill or you keep walking into the same wall it is difficult to realize that there is more than one solution to any given problem and you have choices.

Feeling there is no choice can make you feel helpless and blocked, as if you were at a dead end with absolutely no way out. Knowing there are choices gives you a sense that you have some influence over the outcome of a situation in which you are involved. Personal growth and development are ongoing throughout your life. The practical life skills you acquire along the way improve the quality of your day-to-day life. One important life skill to learn is how to find those choices when faced with a difficult decision.

Finding the alternative choices available to you means unleashing your creativity in some instances. Allow yourself to let your imagination run wild if appropriate and above all do not forget to listen to that “inner voice”, your “gut feeling”, your intuition if it is trying to speak to you about a choice you might have. When life puts you into a situation where there is nothing you can do, this is the time to understand your choice in that moment is acceptance. This is indeed a choice, albeit a difficult one.
