Many of us don't think of "choice" as a spiritual gift.Yet having the ability, the option to choose, directs the trajectory of our lives.
Sometimes this seems like nothing but a burden and the weight of making decisions - the choosing - can become so heavy it weighs down one's soul.
Yet consider for a moment that there are only three ways to change the course of our lives; crisis, chance, and choice.
Each day we are presented with almost unlimited opportunities to choose one way or the other. One thing other another - a direction to go, and attitude to display, a grudge to carry, and the list goes on and on.
The important thing here I think is to remember that we will not know the outcome of a choice or decision until AFTER it has been made.
Of course we can imagine how situations will play out but the truth of the matter is we learn and grow by choosing how we respond to what this life presents to us.
Acceptance of a situation does not mean it can't be changed. It simply means you see it for what it is.And that my friend is the first step in choosing what will come next๐
