"Every
experience that you have and will have upon the Earth
encourages the alignment of your personality with your
soul." Gary Zukav, The Seat
of the Soul
Each of us face challenging circumstances,
often unexpected, and often brought about by the actions
of others.
We each possess an incredible force
and privilege - our own free will. We have the right
- perhaps the duty - to choose our response to each
circumstance or opportunity, and the sum of our choices
is equal to the quality of our life.
Remember that your life is no accident.
Each experience brings you the choice to react based
on your personality, or the opportunity to look deeper
at your perceptions, your hopes, and your fears.
If you choose to respond, rather than
react -
- choose growth and healing
over stagnation -
- choose
forgiveness over bitterness -
-
choose a kind word over a mean one -
-
choose gratitude over resentment...
-
the quality of your life cannot help but improve.
I am incredibly grateful for the power
of choice, and the will to exercise it.
This week I will pause
before I react to circumstance
or the actions of others.
I will consider what I want my life to be,
and choose accordingly.
