As I read and ponder:

We all make choices in our lives every day, both wittingly and unwittingly.

There’s truth that we must all embrace:

Everyone has the power of choice.

It’s a critical part of our self-development, and each and every one of the choices that we make shapes our experiences and brings us to where we are in our life.

CHOOSE: THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT

Whenever I see this beautiful poster from Dilip Mukerjea, I am always reminded of the following wonderful quotes from success coach Anthony Robbins:

"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped."

"Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any & every part of your life in an instant."

"The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose."

WHAT FUTURISTS BELIEVE

"During the next decade many people will be coming around blind curves yelling things at you. They will be too busy to stop and explain, so it will be up to you to figure it out.

If you have paradigm paralysis [i.e. unable to think in new ways], you will be hearing nothing, but threats.

If you have paradigm pliancy [i.e. being pliant or tolerant of new ideas; be tolerant of people who are suggesting those new ideas, and have tolerance toward people who see the world differently], you will be hearing nothing, but opportunity.

I would submit, in the context of all that I have said, that the choice of which you hear is entirely up to you."
