This weeks quote comes from a wonderful book of essays by Susan L. Taylor, former editor of Essence Magazine, "All About Live" Favorite selections from her enormosely popular series In the Spirit.
"Our power to choose is an awesome one, an authority we excercise each waking moment, but not always with conscious awareness. We get accustomed to living in the prison of our past or in a fast-forward mode, worrying about the future, missing the brightness, lightness and newness of this holy moment."
This passage from one of the essays in "All About Love totally supports one of the most favorite Motivation tips that I've created: "The two most powerful words in the Universe are I Choose... what are you choosing today?".
Staying mindful of our ability to choose keeps us in the active present moment engagement of life. We stay in the drivers seat and are no longer relegated to passenger status. Personally, I think about this statement several times a day. I ask myself, what am I choosing. Sometimes I surprise myself when I find that I haven't actively choosen anything and am simply going with any flow that comes along. I now chuckle to myself when this revelation happens and then get busy choosing exactly what I want for my life in a given moment. You too can choose what you want in your life and for your life. Afer you make your choices, than get busy with the positive action that makes life so worth living.
Remember, time is precious. Do your happy dance. Enjoy life!
