My daughter Erica completed the Landmark Forum a while back. As a graduate of the Landmark training I attended the Sunday evening celebration.
There was the traditional choose vanilla or chocolate ice cream coaching session wherein a participant is asked to experience the distinction between a choice and a decision. It was exciting to be a part of her breakthrough when she finally got it. (For those of you unfamiliar with Landmark Education I'll share the distinction. A decision is a result of considering your options, a choice is an act of personal power.)
How often do you experience this flavor of choice in your world? How often is choice a force arising from within and not as a consequence of deliberate consideration, or worse automatic pilot behavior?Â
Choice is the engine of your evolution.
Gary Zukav
Take a moment to explore these basic truths about the Power of Choice:
- Choice arises from your personal power. You are the engineer responsible for the scaffolding of your reality. You are the source of what is and what is not. Take responsibility for what is yours to do. Design your own delectable dream.
- Choice shapes your reality. Your moment to moment choices create your version of reality. Your choices dictate the bandwidth of your perception. They either expand or constrict the landscape of your experience. Notice how your world changes when you let go of a belief or a certain way of doing something. Whether it's shedding beliefs about yourself or others, your willingness to make choices that expand your experience create a new realm of being and reality.
- Choice creates a collective reality. Your choices not only change what's possible for you, but they also expand what is possible for others. Think of the collective choices or agreements we have made – marriage, traditions, government, religion, etc. These did not pop up suddenly one day as reality. They were individual choices made by everyone who has come before you. Where are you buying into a collective reality that no longer rings true for you? Untether and access your own power by choosing what's right now.
- Choice is a creative tool to stir consciousness. Look at choices as the palette colors of your life. The more you choose consciously the better you blend the colors to create a masterpiece. Your choices fine-tune your ability to craft from the raw materials of life. Choose to explore and evolve.
As you go about your day notice how you play with choice. What is your come from? Acknowledge you have options! Evolve your power to choose vibrantly and shift your world. It will make all the difference.
