Choices Are ALWAYS Mine - Free Will is our Birthright !
Free Will is our human Birthright, we arrived with it when we were born. It guarantees that we ALWAYS have a choice . . . even when we believe otherwise ! Furthermore, contrary to what our human mind often concludes us to believe; more often than not we have more choices than we think we do.
I am by no means suggesting that we like the choices we have available to us; or that we wish to make a choice between the 'bad' choices that we have. I am however saying, that there is always a choice we can make. Furthermore, we do make many choices many times over every day; whether we are aware of it and make it deliberately and conscientiously or we Allow our Default Conditioning to make it for us !

‘I don’t have a choice’ is one of the greatest 'Victim Stories' that
we tell ourselves; and although it may be true that our options are limited to choices that we consider to be all ‘bad’ . . . there are always some alternatives within those choices that are crummier than others.
There are always outside influences that are out of my circle of control. However, the most basic Choice that I have always available to me . . . one that no one can ever take away from me or control; is what I can choose to think or feel and consequently how I choose to react or respond.
Empowerment is knowing we are making the best possible choice even when given lousy options.
We can get away from the victim consciousness and empower ourselves ‘in the best possible way’ when we become aware of and acknowledge that we do have a choice, as distasteful as the choices may be to us. Choosing to make the best choice that is available to me at the time, is something to feel good about; even when it is a choice I do not like or I would rather not have to make.

When I become willing, open, ready, and available to learn what I am meant to learn . . . when I let go of the resistance to it and I am willing to ALLOW it to flow . . . the teachers will appear in many wondrous ways.
Every Moment of every Day is an Opportunity for a New and Different Choice !
If something is not working or it is not serving my Higher Self . . .
I can begin Right Now to look for and find ways to think differently about those things. I can begin Right Now to look for and find ways to feel differently about anything in my life that feels 'off' or stressful. I can learn to communicate differently
with others and myself . . . maybe more effectively or more kindly. And, I can choose to look for and learn to do things differently than the way I have done them before. I can choose
to make different choices than what I've made in the Past !
The Choice is Mine !

Even too much of a good thing can turn out not to be so good . . . and even things that are often deemed to be not so 'good' for me can be ok to enjoy if done in moderation !
I have learned that 'Moderation In All Things' is the Key to Balance in my life . . . and it allows me to enjoy everything I want to in moderate doses.

It takes a keen sense of ‘Present Moment Awareness’ to harness the entire personal power of true Choice Awareness.
This means being aware of our available choices in this moment, making deliberate choices now, and then following through by implementing those Choices when the time is 'right'.
Many people fall into the unfortunate trap of repeatedly making choices now, that are always requiring follow through somewhere out in the future. This prevents success !
It is important to be keenly aware, that any Choice that I can ever make, I can only make and exercise in this Moment ! It can only take place in the 'Here' and 'NOW' . . . never in the past and never in the future !
This was not an easy awareness and understanding for me to arrive at, but it made a significant difference in recognizing that, in any given moment my power of implementing a choice can only take place in this moment.
Have you ever tried to implement a choice in the past or in the future ?
Sure, we can think about making a choice in the past; but we cannot implement it, for it is the past ! We can also think about making a certain choice in the future; but we can't actually do what we’re thinking about doing, until the time comes and we decide to actually do it. I think this is why so many exercise programs or diets that we set for ourselves often fail. We think about them but we 'choose' to do something different when the time comes to follow through on our thoughts . . . NOW.
Whenever the time arrives, whenever I actually carry out a Choice . . . it will ALWAYS be NOW ! This is so because my physical body and my physical mind can only do anything NOW . . . everything else is just a thought I am having about something . . . right Now ! Thus, the Past will always stay the Past - it cannot be changed. The Future will always be the Future – for it has not happened yet . . . Once it happens it is the 'NOW' !
When we truly understand, integrate, and embody this fact, then we know that 'The only Power I have to ever Implement any Choice is NOW' . . . and it will never ever be at any other time.
I can learn to be consciously aware of my thoughts, feelings, beliefs/perceptions, and behaviors that are preventing me from making the choices that I seek to implement - in this moment – Now.
I can learn to be keenly aware of the choices that are available to me and that I am making in this moment; and I can learn and train myself to direct my mind, my actions, and my behavior ‘Now’ . . . as they happen. It is within my power . . . and No One else's.

My Inner Work is not only the most important work I'll ever do, but it is also the most challenging and the most rewarding work I’ll ever do ! I have learned that as I do my Inner Work, my Inner World changes . . . and as my Inner World changes, my Outer World follows. My Inner Work consists of becoming aware of, examining, and deliberately training myself to change the self-defeating unhealthy thought and behavior patterns that create the unwanted situations, circumstances, and overall results in my life.
I believe that we arrive with a pre-birth plan for 'certain' experiences to have and for particular lessons to learn. I believe that those pre-planned experiences and lessons are our Destiny chosen by us for this life-time.
However, how we get there and what we do with what is presented to us is all up to us, it is our Choice !
Free Will guarantees it.
