Underneath the fancy car, big house and hefty bank account, most people will confess that what they want is more freedom to choose. Let me show you how you can make that happen in the next hour!
Making choices is a decision. It is a permission you give yourself, or not, in any given moment.
Even choosing not to do something is a choice. I know you know that, but are you actually living it?
The status, money and security you seek will not give you the ability to have more choice. The CONTENT of the choices may change but whether you have $10,000 or $10 million will not change your capacity to choose between A, B or C.
You have that skill right now. And not only understanding this but actually living in choice starting today will ironically make all the other dreams easier to create.
Action – For just the next hour, right down each choice you make. You may find this challenging because in 60 minutes, you actually make dozens of choices.
Don’t judge your choices, just notice them.
Here’s what it might look like:
- I chose to do this exercise
- I chose to answer the phone
- I chose to speak to Bob for 5 minutes
- I chose not to tell him how the project was progressing
- I chose to send two emails
- I chose to get coffee instead of starting that letter
- I chose to feel annoyed at writing down all my choices!
- I chose to change to black ink instead of blue
- I chose not to tell Bill about his ugly tie
- I chose not to call my spouse
- And so on
You choose everything you create and by living this way from now own, you will choose to create many amazing things.
