To Choose or not to Choose

I'm sure you can recall a certain time when you have regretted an outcome that has occurred as a consequence of your actions or your slightest involvement in the event. And I'm sure you would love to turn back the hands of time and change a few of those end results. Well what if I tell you you could stop a lot of these bad outcomes happening to you. I always remember a TV show called 'Yesterdays News' or something to that effect and was in awe of the power that gift could give you. Now I'm pretty sure you will never get magical powers to see events before they happen but I do think you can control events that happen to you.

The reasoning behind this thinking may not sit comfortably with you at this moment in time but I would be a very happy man if in 6 months or a years time you could see what I am getting at. Because if that is the case you will have made the choice to grow, develop and change your mindset in some degree and taken total responsibility for the direction and outcomes that occur in your life.

You can start by altering your thoughts and instead of thinking in terms of your way or no way. Choice needs to become a huge part of your life. Everyone you speak to acknowledges that life is full of choices but if you seriously sat down and looked at the situation you find yourself in at the moment ask this question. Are you completely satisfied with the way your life is heading at this point in time? The answer to this question will vary but I can guarantee if you are completely honest with yourself there will be some part of your existence that could be more satisfying or rewarding for you.

Here is the most fundamental and most important choice you will ever make. Do you stay the same and accept the consequences of this choice or do you take the courageous option and choose to implement changes that will take you towards a more desirable existence in your opinion. I say courageous because this choice will make you feel like you are losing control which is a very uncomfortable feeling. Something us as humans don't like is being out of control.

If this process is something you would like to start sooner than later then take these steps.

1. Choose to Analyse: As stated above making this fundamental change is the hardest yet most vital step in the process of personal growth and development. Developing a sense of self awareness and analysing yourself is not an easy process to undertake.
2. Choose to Change: Actually putting steps into play to implement change is also an uncomfortable and courageous step. You will need help and assistance so reach out and seek it. It will appear if you want it enough.
3. Choose to take Responsibility: As soon as you make a promise to yourself that you are responsible for every outcome that happens in your life you become a more valuable individual and a leader. You proactively seek positive outcomes and learning from negative outcomes as you see your actions as the reason for one or the other occurring. This is where I think you can almost predict tomorrows news in your life because by proactively taking responsibility you unknowingly stop negative occurrences from ever getting off the ground.

What do you choose, better health, better relationships or an improved relationship with your children or to find a more rewarding job or career. You really do have a choice even if you don't believe me right now hopefully in the future you will agree with me.
