your daily rock : we are always in choice

October 11, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

There is so much in life we feel we don’t control: natural disasters, man’s inhumanity to man, economic crashes, and so much more.

You may not choose your circumstance–whether a meeting room without windows or the sudden announcement that your partner or spouse doesn’t love you anymore–but you are always in choice within that circumstance.

We get to choose how we are within less-than-ideal circumstances.

We get to choose whether to focus on what is right, or what is wrong.

We get to choose to be happy in a circumstance that seems to elicit criticism and anger or unhappiness.

You don’t always choose your circumstance, but you are always in choice about how you are within that circumstance.

Remember this. Your life will change as a result.

Love,
