Be in a State of Choice
“I want to go back to school but I have too much debt.” “I don’t have time in my day to exercise.”
We all have circumstances that impact our lives. Circumstances are the fabric of our lives, they are the facts. I have children, I have a job, I have debt, I have aging parents. It is when we let these circumstances determine our options in life that we give over our power; “I can’t because”, “I don’t have time because”. The options and the choices that are available are narrowed and sometimes disappear because they are seen through a context of our circumstances coupled with our interpretation of the constraints these circumstances impose. The circumstances in your life become the decision makers and the choosers, not you.
What does it cost you to have your decisions made by circumstances? How narrow are your options?
What if, instead, we embrace these circumstances as fact without the weight of constraint? Try changing the language itself. “I want to go back to school and I have debt. How can I pursue this dream?” What new options open up? The point is not to turn your back completely on your life circumstances, it is, rather, to keep options and opportunities open and to ensure that you are always in a position of choice about your path and your future. It is after all, your future.
