What's the best feeling about living? What does it take to live?
Everything in this world and the next world will always revolve around one thing, it is called "Choice". It might not look like it but, every step you've made, everything you've done, all that has happened to you is as a result of choices that were made or not made.
Life is made up of boundless possibilities filled with endless choices and decisions, some of which are simply casual, and others impactful. Some decisions like what to eats, where to go, when to listen to music, when to be quiet are simple choices, that are casual and slightly impactful, but it's the important decisions-the ones that define our life-that always leaves us with a note of uneasiness each time we attempt to make a move. Once you can look past the hurdles and toughness involved in making choices, then you are no doubt fulfilling your purpose and changing the course of your life.
Everything in life is a choice, meeting people is a choice, waking up and eating is a choice, meditation is a choice, walking is a choice, hanging out with friends is a choice, love is a choice, being at peace is also a choice. Everything high and Low is a representation of the choices we've all made as humans and as a species.
The excellence of your life, my life or the life of any random person is not dependent on what he/she has, it is not even dependent on what he or she says or does, but it is simply dependent on the choices that person makes as regards life.
Think about it, if you didn't make the choice to brush this morning, then you would literally chase people away with your bad breath. It is the same for when you choose not to shower before leaving for work or entering into the day, you are definitely going to chase people and possibilities away because of the choice you made.
It is true that Life is beautiful, but what makes it beautiful is the abundance of noble and wise choices that we make in moments that are defining. I dare to say to you that the beauties and peace of life are embedded in the nobility of choices that we make. Choices are not one-sided, they respond with the consequences of that which we choose.
Now, like the quote that says "Everything rises and falls with you". It's the same for choices, Everything that lives, breathes, creeps, crawls and walks on this earth, rises and ultimately falls based on the choices made. If you choose to sleep every day and not do a single thing, it is only imminent that the consequence of that choice will catch up with you. There are infinite possibilities connected to our life, but we will never be able to reach, attain or achieve these possibilities if we don't make certain choices.
The truth is, the difference between your life now and your life in the next five years is simply the choices you make now. If you want to live free of certain negativities in life you've gotta make positive choices, Choices that will define your entire life forever and most times we see it in the movies we watch, permit me to give this analogy;
In the Blockbuster movie of 2019 "Avenger's Endgame" we see Tony stark playing the role of Iron Man, where he makes a choice, that changed the course of the human race, also saving everyone he cared about. Tony knew the weight of making a choice like that because it's said that no mortal can wield all six infinity stones, but it came to the point where he had to truly define his life and the lives of everyone in the world, and with no doubt, in his heart, he snapped his fingers. Now that choice defined who people see the Iron Man character as, both in real life and in the movie, because of the good that came that with making a choice like that, the negative consequences of that choice didn't matter.
Sometimes, the only way to live a better life is to make better choices, not just casual and little choices but choices that are defining, choices that will certainly keep you afloat in the hurdles of life.
If you want to be good at the singing then you need to make choices that are geared towards that goal, get a teacher, get videos, decide to rehearse more effectively, give yourself targets, and above all, look for similar minded people. Don't be mistaken, the choice you make to be a good singer, are not entirely the same choices, you make to be a professional musician.
In making choices, you have to make sure that the good consequences of those choices are way higher than the bad results that choice can offer, and when you can do this effectively, you will begin to see the two-fold sides of any choice. It's also the same for becoming rich and wealthy if you must be wealthy and rich, you've got take the choice to be creative, decide to read on financial freedom, get CDs, audios, and books that are in line with the choice you've made, then watch out as you climb up to the heights you wish to attain.
Life is a choice and relatively, Choice is a Tool in the hands of anyone who uses it wisely and justly without a negative vendetta. Everything we know, see, perceive, touch, everything high, low and in between, all boils down to choice. We all exist in a straight line of infinite possibilities and in a split second a choice can change our lives forever.
One choice can open up a door for us, and close a number of faulty doors in our life, another can shut a number of doors in our lives and open up just a door, that leads us into a perpetual victory parade.
Understand this and life will be simple; we can change the quality, excellence, and kind of life we live by a single choice we make. If a choice is made, it has the ability to initiate the intent of the subject or person, without obstruction with the aim to produce the result, the subject requires. In other words, it reciprocates the intent of the person who makes a choice. If you look at the moon, it sometimes appears half, or crescent-like but to the moon, it's always full and it never leaves, the same thing goes for choices, one side appears halved but the benefit is no doubt unavoidable.
Stop asking the irrelevant questions and start asking the relevant ones, if you know there's more that you can do then, ask yourself "What am I missing?", "How can I make myself better?" "What do I need to do, to be better?" And when you are done asking yourself some important logical and mental question then, life will offer you choices to make, and make sure you weigh the consequences before making them. Every time you wake up in the morning, life offers you two choices, the first choice is that you keep sleeping with your dreams and the second is that you get up, wash up and chase your dreams.
You can choose to be the best version of yourself, you can choose to stand out in any field you find yourself in. One simple choice can redirect the course of your life either bad or good because it goes both way. So make every day count, make every choice worth it, stay high and never low, and know that its all in your hands, your mind, and heart. John C Maxwell said that " Life is a matter of Choices, and that every choice we make, makes us."
Our choices, are way bigger than our abilities, and as I said, the moment you make a choice, the will-power, ability or energy to achieve it, everything that comes with it, is embedded in your consciousness and all around you, that's what a choice does. Your life will no doubt change, the moment you make a new, sound, congruent decision, not just any decision but a decision backed up by commitment.
Choose to be brave, exceptional and outstanding, it might be a bit tasking and tough, even at that still choose to love, live freely, happy, grateful and never regretful. Make the decision to never be small, prove to yourself that you are better than you think, make life choices that are impactful and approach them with no procrastination.
Sometimes, it's not about the heaviness or the weight of the choices, most times a little little can change your life forever, use this gift of mortality as it is what gives all our choices true meaning. It never really matters which side of the coin is flipped, what matters is that you get to pick the coin and flip again. There is no progress without first making a decision, which means that Progress is directly proportional to Decision, which leaves change as the constant thing.
Finally, Life's Choices might often time be filled with regrets and setbacks, but its also filled with choices that we are proud of, one way or another, and though we might be haunted by some of our choices, yes that's a definite part of life, what's more, important is that: We are what we choose to be, whether we know it or not.
"You must make a Choice to take a Chance, or your life will never change."
