On Choice

We cannot live a choiceless life. Even if we refuse to choose an action or a position, we are still choosing not to choose! What we will more likely discover is that we will either step forward into choosing… or we will be backed into it! Therefore, let’s be clear about what we are doing. Let’s at least peruse this day to see what it holds for us.

Our natures are designed to consider ideas...


Staying in bed is usually not an option unless we're really sick. Besides, our natures are designed to consider ideas, and our bodies are built for movement, so sooner or later, we will decide upon some plan of action, however casual or important it may be.

Some decisions may impact our lives...

Perhaps it would be a good idea to consider if some things are worthy of us. Perhaps some possibilities would seem a waste of energy and can be bypassed. Others, on the other hand, can involve deep thinking and decisions that could be upsetting to some. Implementing them may even cost us some stature in certain situations, but here is where careful choices really show up. Some decisions may impact our lives and others as well and may take courage to initiate.

We will choose all our lives...

We will choose all our lives, sometimes with importance, sometimes more casually, but this is part of our humanity. It is life…and it is part of who we are.
