And here, as promised, is the last and very important part about choices. Look at the apple flower above! What if it had made the choice not to open up? What if it was too lazy to become the apple it was born to be? What if it had chosen to remain the bud in the next picture? Here is what Dr. Tae Yun Kim concludes her page on choices:
"Sometimes we tend to feel that making choices limits our options, and that by choosing a direction, we somehow eliminate all others. No. Quite the contrary, every time you make a choice, you open up an entire web of possibilities connected with that choice. If you dislike the outcome, the worst thing that can happen is you make another choice, and this opens up another entirely different number of possibilities adding to all the other previous choices! There is no limitation in choosing!"
(These quotes came from "The First Element", pages 128 - 129)

So, let's not limit ourselves. Let's make a choice - and either stick with it, or change it to another choice! But let's not let our environment or anything or anyone else make choices for us!
One more time, Dr. Tae Yun Kim's powerful words:
The power is in us, it is our personal choice what we do in our lives!
