Choosing Who You Are

The dictionary's definition of "choose" (choosing): To make a choice; to prefer or decide to do something. Syn- Choose, Select, Pick, Elect, Prefer indicate a decision that one or more possibilities are to be regarded more highly than others.

Hmmm, let me see now, let me think about this a moment...you mean to tell me that I can be who I want to be simply by making a choice? Yep, pretty much.

So what types of things do we or can we make choices about? Everything really. Who we love or hate, our jobs, where we live -everything. There is one sentence that I hear often, which is: "That's just the way I am." And the question I would love to ask these people is, "But is that who you want to be?"

So my question to you the reader is this, "If you could be anyone or anything that you wanted, then what or who would that be?" This may take some thought and time to come up with your answers. But it is absolutely worth the effort. Why should we go through life letting life happen in a haphazardly way when we have the opportunity to select how we want it to be.

After all - it's your brain, your thoughts, your life, and it's your choice.
