Choice, you get to choose what you think, act, say or do
CHOICE
YOU get to choose ….
What you think about, your thoughts.
How you feel.
How you will act or react, how you
behave.
What you say or don’t say.
Your perceptions, beliefs, opinions,
ideals, values, morals and dreams.
What you put in your body, the foods
and liquids, pills and potions are all your choice.
Not every choice you make is wise,
but every choice you make has a consequence.
YOU OWN the consequence of your
choice. There is no one to blame for the choice you make BUT YOU.
When you choose not to make a choice,
one will be made for you. Better to make your own choices and be in control of
your destiny than to allow others to make choices for you that you may not
want.
TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE CHOICES YOU
MAKE. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM.
Take what time you need to think
before you speak and act.
REMEMBER, NO ONE MAKES CHOICES FOR
YOU UNLESS YOU LET THEM.
YOUR choices are yours and yours
alone!
Go therefore and choose wisely.
Life is filled with choices
I can choose
to love, be loved, not to love or I can choose nothing at all. What I do or don’t do are my decisions. How I act or react is my choice. What I think, believe or say are completely under
my control.
I choose to
not hurt others in any way. I choose to
honor and respect the feeling and beliefs of others.
I also choose
not to be hurt by others. I will stand
up for myself and not allow others to control or manipulate me. I will call them out on their behavior.
How I react
to others personal insults, hostile words, degrading or belittling comments,
harsh criticism, angry or punishing words and tone of voice, threats, bullying
and intimidation is within my control.
I can remain
positive, upbeat and not be influenced by the words or actions of others.
I understand
the angry outburst of others towards me is their problem. The fact that they have chosen to direct
their anger and hostility towards me does not influence how I feel about
myself.
I will remind myself that my value is not on the line. What others think about me, say to me or act towards me does not influence who I am. I am unique, one of a kind, amazing, talented, child of God who is love by many and who loves all.
I choose to be a giver of love, attention and validation to others and I choose to not make things about me. I recognize that when I see life through the lens of others, I am inspired to love them just as they are.
I choose to love and serve all those I come in contact with and pray for those who could use a little assistance from God our Father in Heaven.
I accept the location in my journey through life as it is right NOW. Where I am at right now is my perfect journey for me.
I am on this earth to love, more specifically to learn to love, myself and those around me.

The need to
be right is not a desire of mine. When
others feel a need to be right, get the last word in, prove their point, win me
over to their way of thinking and attempt to beat me in to submission, I will
remain strong and not be influenced by their words or actions.
I am healthy
in my thoughts and remain strong in my beliefs.
I recognize
the past is in the past, the future is not yet here and the present is the only
time I have. I choose to live in the
present, learn from the past and hope for the future.
I respect
the right of others to express how feel and think as they do. I respect their
right to hold opinions different than mine.
No two people are exactly the same; that is what makes us
different. What we say, do, think,
believe, how we interact, communicate and our ability to listen, accept and
understand others helps us in our quest for joy, peace and happiness.
Love and
cherish the time you have on this earth.
Be grateful for the blessing you have received and love all those you
come in contact with.
Pray to God our Father for wisdom to learn how to love
and forgive.
This time on this earth is yours to do with what you will, make
the most of it.
