There is a distinction between a choice and a decision.
A choice is limited only by your creativity. A decision is made based on the available options, nothing more.
When applied to our lives, we can say that we choose our life. What we have or don’t have is only limited by what we can dream up for our lives. We then use that vision as the guide for how we make daily decisions.
If you want happiness, then choose in every situation to see the positive and be happy.
If you want financial stability, then choose to a career path that will supply you with the money and learn how to invest and save to have that.
It sounds simple - and it really is that simple.
Yes, life will come at you hard, but you have the power to determine how life impacts you. You alone are in control of achieving the vision or what you choose for your life.
“I Choose” by India.Arie drives this point home. In the song, she makes a bold declaration that she is taking full control of her life. She’s even tellin’ her momma that!
Let’s follow her lead and boldly take control of our lives by choosing the life we want.
