We often convince ourselves that we “must” do this and or that without ever examining  why we “must”. Yes there are consequences (often many) for each decision we make and the decision itself is still ours to make…

The REAL choice is, are you consciously making those decisions or merely being an observer in your own life? Are you aware that if you believe you have no choice in doing something you have still made a choice?? I believe it was either Boston or Chicago that said this in a song from the seventies.

Next time you encounter a person spewing negative or hurtful thoughts towards you visualize the words sailing past you as you and duck or turn sideways to “see” the thoughts miss you and your prefered state of positiveness.

Ask them to “Choose Again” as clearly their thoughts are having a negative impact and that is not good for either their or your physical state. Should they go on to justify (Just If I …) why they have chosen a negative attitude remove yourself from their presence in order to avoid spreading such victim like thinking.

Your attitude the Only thing you are in complete control of and no one can choose how you view things period. At least not without your consent on some level so be pro-active and Choose Happy. You will live longer enjoy more luck and have  better health as just a few of the side affects of being aware of choices we all make everyday.
