The second you make a new Choice you have changed your destiny. Such is the power of making Choices. You set into motion new behaviors, actions, directions, consequences, and paths for your life.

You may not even be aware of how important daily choices are in your life.

Stop and think about all the choices you make daily. What you will do for the day, what you will wear, where you will go, who you will hang out with, what you will talk about, what you will do at work? I can go on and on. I think you understand what I mean.

Are you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed or as if life is against you and happening “to” you? Unhappy with your Life? What kind of choices are you making?  Don’t Despair it can change if you make up your mind that you want it to.

The CHOICE is YOURS!

You have the power to take back control of you own life by becoming aware of and doing something about your choices.

Your first step is to recognize that we make decisions based on our experiences, past, current pain, happiness, or our mental and emotional state at the time. As well as many other things that you may not be aware of.

So, the first step is to become aware of your thought processes. If something is not working in your life, start asking WHY, why am I in this space, why do I repeat or always have this problem. WHAT role did I play in this to get me here? Your first thought may be. “well if it was not for them” THROW that thought out.

We all have a role to play in every situation. What choices did you make or not make to get where you are?

Don’t just look at the negative look at the positive also. If you are in a good place think about what choices, you made to get to this point in life. Compare the good with the Bad and compare your decision making processes.

BE Honest with yourself.

Once you start this practice you will become aware of the why’s of your decision making and be able to prevent bad choices and create good ones. This is a process that you will grow into the more you do it. Stick with it. Change will not come overnight, but we can all start at the point we decide we want more.

Here are a few tips to help you on your journey of change. 

Do not:

1. Make a choice that provides instant gratification. (It is probably not a good idea)
2. Make a choice based on the appearance of things (may be an emotional one)
3. Make a choice without thinking it through to the end (play out the consequences all the way through)
4. Make purely emotional decision based on temporary feelings (you may regret it)

Start:

1. Stop, and think! Identify what choices you should make and why.
2. Obtain as much information as possible and weigh the pros and cons of the choices
3. Decide if the risk is too high, is the timing wrong, the affects not good for you, is it just too much!
4. Seek out a wise/trusted Friend, Mentor or Counselor! Sometimes we need an objective opinion. They can help us see what we cannot.

NOW, I have told you the practical way to begin your journey of making decisions but let me tell you the real secret to have power in your life, and to take back your past and move into the future.  

God gave us the mind and will to help ourselves. But he also loves us so much that he sent Jesus to come into our world to bring us back to him. Jesus sent us a comforter and a friend to HELP us in this world. We do not have to do all this by ourselves. I encourage you to find out about Jesus.

Come to him and he will help you on this journey by giving you the strength to make good choices to have victory in this life.
