Spoilt for Choice

We all have a super power called choice. At any given moment we can choose our thoughts, our emotions and how we perceive and therefore experience anything in our lives. The ability to choose separates those who experience peace from those who experience worry and anxiety.

However, a deeper inspection into this ability we have of choice leads me to believe that we may be spoilt for choice.  In fact this very super power can easily become our kryptonite.

While it might serve you to choose either getting upset when someone says something horrible to you or choose not giving a damn about what was said – this power may not serve you well in the case when you need to get up at 5am for your morning run or choose to stay in bed because it is cold.

In this example you do have the power to choose and it is easier to choose sleeping in, than waking up and going for the run. Here the power to choose is not supporting you in your greatest life.
I believe that if we move from having the ability to choose, to not having a choice at all, we can easily shift lives. I once said that “Success is only a choice is failure is an option.” That very anecdote may be the solution to living a very different life than the one you have now.

Imagine if you set upon a challenge and the only choice you had or the only option you had was to succeed no matter what. Yes you will have results which are not desired along the way, but you will keep moving forward until you succeed. This is similar to when Edison said he did not fail 10 000 times before he “invented” the light bulb, he merely found 10 000 ways to not make a light bulb.

When we eliminate the option or choice of failure, success becomes inevitable. You can only succeed. There is no other choice. You can and you will succeed.
Here are some choices you may face daily. It is up to you to completely eliminate one.

Eat the cheese burger. Not to eat the cheeseburger.
Go to gym. Sleep an extra hour.
Write the book. Not to write the book.
Quit smoking. Smoke more one.
Lose 5kg. Put on 5kg.

When all you hear is the voice of power, then the voices of criticism, opinions and so called facts, negativity gets faded into the distant background until you hear it no more. This puts you in the driver’s seat of your life. You get to decide the life you wish to live.

Commit to a great life. Commit to choosing the one option only that opens up the door to greatness.

Affirm the following: The only choice I have is to live and lead an incredible and empowered life.
