We have plenty of choices in this lifetime. We all have the free will to choose and to change our minds and to choose again. Perhaps on this Monday morning because I’m feeling so centered, I can seem very black and white on this issue. But when I’m feeling centered, it’s so clear to me. Is it clear to you?
We make excuses when our choices don’t pan out and deliver to fruition what we want. So we blame others for what we think they made us do. Believe me, I’ve been there too. But the reality is that we all have free will to choose again, to change our thinking and to let go of what we believed was supposed to be, what was fair in our own heads and what we deserved.
But that’s not the way life lessons come to us all the time. Sometimes, we have to get out of our own thinking, out of our own way and see the big picture in whatever scenario is taking place in the forefront. And then, deal with it.
We’ve all made choices that perhaps we regret. We make decisions in an instant that hurt us or hurt others. But to own our own stuff takes courage to be responsible for what is and not what we believed should be. That’s the lesson that is hardest I think for all of us to wrap our minds, our beliefs and our hearts around.
But in order to heal, it’s necessary. To work on ourselves takes time and baby steps towards healing. If we don’t do the work on ourselves though, we are stuck in that place of pain and nobody wants to stay there. But oftentimes, we do for lack of knowing how to release our limiting beliefs.
Use your free will to choose again. Choose wisely by being the observer in your life. Treat yourself as you would your best friend and be open to possibilities that maybe you haven’t been aware of before in your life. Wherever a door closes, there’s a window which opens. Be courageous to look outside that window to see the big picture.
Allow God and the Universe to guide you to freedom of choice and to choosing what serves you with joy and love. Your heartlight shines when we allow ourselves to be whom we are meant to be. To be anyone else doesn’t serve our souls, nor our life purpose.
Don’t regret the path not taken. Take it. Embrace it and if it doesn’t fit, then choose again. This is your life and nobody else’s. Live. Choose. Forgive. Let go. Move onward and upwards! It’s a beautiful day! You can always choose to be happy.
That’s your free will choice. Choose happiness.
Shine On!

Thank you Mark. I think the post was channeled, but I am grateful that I was given the words to write. I think we all do our best with what we have and for that, I’m grateful. ♥
So true hon and you do it well!
Thank you! I feel the same about you!
You are so correct in this. We can’t always control what others do to us but we can control how we respond to it. We can choose bitterness which helps no one or anything or we can choose forgiveness and changing our focus on all we have and be grateful. The Universe always gives us challenges and I’ve learned to be grateful for them as well.
I agree Marlene. Perhaps when in the thick of it, I’m not exactly grateful, but in hindsight, I truly am grateful for all the life lessons I’ve learned and for the choices I’ve made.
Hindsight is always 20/20. 🙂
Yes it really is Marlene! 🙂
Excellent post Yvonne on choices. Our characters are determined by them.
Free will is simple. We can choose what we ought or what we want. You can tell when you’ve chosen correctly; it will be hard to do.
