It is not the circumstances of our lives that matter. It is what we choose to do with them. Today recognize that you always have a choice. Your choice. You can’t choose everything that you experience in life, but what you can choose is mightier than any circumstance, outcome, or other person’s opinion. Today, awaken to the fact that where you focus your mind, how you use your words, and how you treat yourself and others are all up to you. We all have the power to choose what we absorb and what we release. And ultimately we decide what we share, what we keep, and what we let go of. How long we stay mad and how long we wait to reach for hope, when we say yes and when we say no, and how long we say only what others want to hear are all up to us. Whether we see the world with gratitude or resentment begins with a choice.There’s always something you can choose. So, today choose to look for things to feel good about. And if nothing else, choose to be as intentional as you can. Starting today, start small and remind yourself of your power to choose.Freedom is what you choose to do with what’s been done to you. Today, choose wisely!

Just for today, I know in any given situation that I always have a choice between love and fear. Today, I choose love. No one else gets to choose for me. I make my own choices. I choose to forgive and set myself free. I choose to recognize that in truth, everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
