The importance of making your own choices



First, the sun was almost up and clearly visible behind the fog

Yesterday I started sharing about the importance of making choices.  Because it is so important to make the right choices after setting those New Year Goals!

Dr. Tae Yun Kim says it best with one of her trademark sayings:

The power is in you, it is your personal choice what you do in your life!"

Then, the sun was up more fully 

 And to continue with Dr. Tae Yun Kim's wise words from yesterday, here goes:

"One of the reasons we hold back on making choices is because we delude ourselves into thinking we already have chosen something.  Let's say you don't have the employment you desire.  You don't like where you are, but you are afraid to make a move.  So you struggle along making yourself accept the situation, telling yourself you could leave if you chose to, all the while knowing you have no intention of leaving.  You simply go on feeling uncomfortable, unhappy, and anxious.

Then the fog moved in

This is a classic example common to many of use where we say we have made a choice.  But actually, it's pretty plain that the real choice remains unmade, frozen in fear.  Beware of deluding yourself.  Beware of convincing yourself you have made a choice, when in actuality you have only accepted a course of action."

....and the sun was playing hide and go seek

How about that!  Does that sound like you?  It sure sounds a lot like what I used to do all the time and now am trying to change!

And tomorrow, we'll get the icing on the cake regarding change!  Be sure to come back and read it all!
