Lesson 28 -
Your Choices Create Your Reality.
In challenging times there are 2 choices, Easy and Hard. One imprisons, the other frees.
By taking the easy choice we avoid something out of fear, telling a lie rather than speaking our truth, going with the pack even if we disagree. We become a slave to fear, our world shrinks, and we give up our freedom of choice.
We build prisons in our mind with thoughts of what could happen? what could go wrong? and how will I cope if it does? Each fear-based choice adds another brick.
The easy way is a trap designed to keep us small. The short-term relief we experience by avoiding something is at best fleeting. The issue will soon present itself again. Easy choices sacrifice long-term peace for short-term relief.
The hard way may be challenging, success isn’t guaranteed. But when we choose the hard way we evolve, we become something new. We destroy the prison, clear the path ahead, and give ourselves freedom.
In challenging situations ask yourself am I making this choice out of avoidance of fear, or pursuit of freedom? Hard choices create more choices, the more choices you have, the more freedom you gain. Choosing the hard way is made easier when we trust in ourselves. Self-Trust is the foundation for your choices, and in turn, your life.
