Thought of the Week: September 8, 2002

 

"The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice."
George Eliot

 

Hawaii 227.jpg (33825 bytes)The entire concept of "choice" can be scary.  When we enter a fork in the road of our life, we have to make a choice.  Depending on that choice, our life takes a certain direction.

No Choice is a Choice

Life is about choices.  We choose where to go to college.  We choose a spouse.  We choose how we take care of our body and soul.  The interesting point about "choice" is that choices are made for us if we consciously don't make a choice.  How many of you have awakened one day to discover you are turning 30 or 40 and haven't done one thing or another?  How do we feel if we've made choices that have not turned out the way we had anticipated?  Now what do we do?

The Wonder of Humanity

We needn't feel disheartened.  This is the beauty and wonder of humanity.  No matter what our choices, conscious or not, those directions have made us who we are today.  No matter what our choices are or will be, we grow from those experiences.

We have the gift of choice - to make decisions today to make ourFlower 0023.jpg (14198 bytes) lives what we wish them to be.  As you make choices in the future, draw upon your errors of the past, consider the information you have at the moment, and move forward.  Life is about growth and change.  We have to embrace the adventure and develop through our journey.

Goal for the Week!

Whether you are faced with a "choice" today or next month, keep the following in mind.  If you have the option, discuss your decision with a spouse, close friend or relative - someone who has your best interests at heart.  Remember the saying "two heads are better than one."  Then, move forward with your choice as see where life takes you.
