Choice

The life I am experiencing in this moment is the result of millions of choices I have made in my lifetime. Small, seemingly insignificant choices. Monumental choices. Everything in between. I couldn’t control the actions and choices of others when they impacted me. I could only choose how I would react.

In liminal space, in those times of uncertainty, I find that making small conscious choices, taking an action, then checking in with myself is the best way for me to navigate through the fog. At least that’s what is working for me right now. I find that a bold vision is supported with small choices, ones that allow me to settle into who I am becoming. After all these years of stripping away aspects of self that really don’t belong to me, the expectations of forces outside me, I still need to check in and make sure I am being true to myself. Authentic.

My choices must align with my big vision for my life. Do I always hit the target? No, I’ve had fallow periods where I’ve taken detours. But detours are teachers, too.

I’m ready for my bold vision. And each day I am taking small steps, and medium ones, too, that I trust are leading me there. It’s a process. And I’m finally learning to be present and enjoy this journey. This feels new, different, uncomfortable and exciting.

How about you? Are you finding any shifts in your choices recently? Is something new tugging at you, demanding your attention? How is this experience for you?
