You have a choice

 You have a choice

Have you ever been told that you have a choice, the amazing power and the freedom to choose?

Do you agree that you do have a choice and that it is you who holds the power to think whatever it is that you allow into your head? 

Your freedom of choice is your birth right.

How many times do we blame our circumstances for the destiny we are in now, when they are actually down to our past choices, or non-choices?

Your brain belongs to you, and you can do as you wish with it.  The thoughts you have are your own and you own them.  They are uniquely yours and you are responsible for them to either keep or to change, share or contemplate over.  No one can get inside your head and experience your thoughts.

Without a thought you cannot experience a feeling or emotion.

If you can control your thoughts and determine your feelings, you also have the choice on how you respond to certain situations that you find yourself in because without our brain and the ability to ‘feel’ the physical reaction to a thought is gone.  Meaning that instead of playing the ‘blame game’ you can take responsibility.

Perhaps you might not like it when I tell you, but you are responsible for the way that you feel.

“Okay Karen how do you explain when I get put down and that affects the way that I feel?  How would you deal with that?” I hear you ask.

First, ask yourself is what they are saying true.  Nine out of ten times it will be a ‘no’ and it isn’t true.

So, it falls to them, what they are saying in putting you down is about them, not you.  Maybe they are jealous of you for example, but there is a reason why they would want you to feel put down.

The great news though, you have a choice!

You have a choice to ignore, you have a choice not to take it on board and you have a choice as to whether you give their opinion the time of day.
