Choice is not an option

 Over time I
have heard this over and over again. “Everything is a choice.” This is, of
course, true on a very basic level. However, the next line is presented as a
stark choice. For example, Do I choose to seek the positive or the
negative?  The light or the dark?  To help myself or hinder myself? 

Embracing
the idea that “everything is a choice” can lead to profound insights
and transformations in our lives. When we acknowledge that we have the power to
choose our perspectives, attitudes, and actions, it opens up a world of
possibilities.

Choosing to
focus on the positive rather than the negative can drastically alter your
experiences. I think we’d take more risks as we wouldn’t be so afraid.    I
think life would be so much more fun and lighter and delightful.  And I think we would explode in our ability
to learn and grow.

Choosing to
embrace the light over the dark signifies a preference for optimism, hope, and
brightness in life. Opting to help oneself rather than hinder oneself can lead to
personal empowerment and self-improvement. It involves taking responsibility
for our actions and decisions, working towards goals, and seeking support and
resources when needed.

What if we
embraced that life and learning is a gift where you can teach me, and I can
teach you and we can also learn from each other. I think learning would be so
much more fun and creative. Holding a perspective on life and learning as gifts
that involve mutual teaching and self-discovery is enriching. Viewing learning
as a collaborative and creative process where everyone has something valuable
to contribute can make it more enjoyable and meaningful. As you move through
life with this attitude you can foster a culture of sharing knowledge, learning
from diverse perspectives, and embracing curiosity and exploration.

By
approaching life with a mindset focused on positivity, collaboration, and
Growth, you can indeed experience more fun, lightness, and delight. Fear
diminishes as you become more open to taking risks and stepping out of your
comfort zone. This openness and optimism can lead to exponential personal and
collective growth so you can constantly learn, evolve, and inspire yourself and
others along the way.
