Choices

It is interesting to me and empowering to see life as a series of choices. I am responsible for my choices in life. No brainer, right?  Who else would be responsible? Well, the truth is, I haven’t always seen it that way. It was easier to rationalize or blame or pretend I didn’t have a choice. I want to choose how I live my life, not be a victim to circumstance. How I choose to respond to other people’s choices is a choice. Paying attention to, and learning from the consequences of my choices is…(drum roll…)  also a choice!

I am developing a new outlook by challenging myself to see people and situations with an awareness of love and acceptance. One of the first things I noticed is less stress!  When focusing my attention on being in the present, I allow the past to be just that and stop myself worrying about what might happen. I experience love through acceptance and with appreciation. Love is a state of being. Love is a state of consciousness. Love isn’t earned. It is.

I am developing a practice.

A practice of being conscious.

A practice of being my best.

I am not striving for perfection, maybe mastery. 

Now, I will go paint! I need practice! 

Namaste,
