Making choices

With the Lunar New Year starting, and a new opportunity for a fresh start, I have been thinking about the goals I set.  Setting goals is a great start of course.  But, on a daily basis, it takes a lot of decision making to achieve those goals!  Right?

Here is the great insight of Dr. Tae Yun Kim on the subject of choices.  I love how she has the ability to get to the bottom of things and make them easy to understand.

"Making Choices is a powerful use of energy!  This means that on your road to your personal fulfillment, you will have many choices to make.  Instead of just drifting along like a piece of wood on a river, you actually direct your life by choosing this event, that path, this person, that area, and so on.  This may seem overly simplistic, and you may be thinking, "You don't have to tell me to make choices..I do it all the time!"

A palm tree decided to grow out of an oak tree! 

Next time you are feeling anxious, question whether or not you are holding back on some action you need to take or desire to take because you are afraid to choose.  Fear comes in all kinds of forms and is usually paralyzing in some way.  Often fear convinces us that is easier to take a stance where we let things happen to us, when instead we could take a directed action leading to a preferred outcome.
