Everything is Choice

Choose what you want to be and do and experience.
Choose to be happy or sad.
Choose to be forgiving or mad.
Choose to be fearful or glad.

Choose for adventure or staying put.
Choose to pay attention to others or not.
Choose to give freely or withhold.
Choose to live fully or live with limitation.

Choose to laugh or to cry.
Choose to accept or ask why.
Choose to be aware or deny.
Choose to live your way or comply.

Choose to have fun or sucked into seriousness.
Choose to take risks or be live by fear.
Choose to flow with the river or fight to go upstream.
Choose to be compassionate or be mean.

When I observe children, I see how “adulterated” they become by listening and watching us.
When I notice I am afraid for them and try to limit or protect, I realize what I am teaching…FEAR.
Ugh!  I want to teach freedom and responsibility.
I want to share having fun and doing what you love.

What do you teach by your example?
Are you demonstrating “fun, safe and easy Living?”
Or are you teaching others how ”serious, scary and hard life is?”
Do you really believe that we are victims of this fearful world?

Is it possible that when we choose to perceive danger, we attract danger?
Is it possible that the world shows us what we expect it to be?
Do you realize the metaphysics of attraction and perception?
Are you aware what we resist and fear and avoid is just as attractive as what we accept, love and enjoy?

Are you aware that your attitude towards housecleaning is learned?
Do you know when parents enjoy cleaning, children are taught to enjoy it too?
Do you know when the teacher is excited and delighted, the children are too?
Do you realize we have learned our beliefs, feelings and attitudes about everything?

Attitudes towards doctors, taxes, politics, bodies, money, career, education…..all learned.
Our feelings about cultures, religions, nationalities, civil rights, art, etc…..all learned.
When we love, trust and respect others, often we take on their beliefs and feelings.
We can forgive, erase and release faulty thinking, limiting beliefs and attitudes.

Forgiving and choosing again and again for the sake of all….especially our children!
Loving you and you and you in making the choices you want for your world,
