choice

We are healthy and happy by nature.
We can be even more so by choice.
~ Darina Stoyanova ~

Happiness is a choice.

Violence is a choice masquerding as a neccesity.

In the choice between changing one's mind and proving there's no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof.

... my life has been dedicated to my growth and evolution as a conscious being.  ... becoming more aware of all that was taking place within me and around me; how my inner world affected my outer world and vice versa.  I realized that the more awareness I have, the more choice I have in how I create or respond to the circumstances of my life.

Here I stand; I can do no otherwise. God help me. Amen.

Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and it is important in some respect where he choses to be so or not.

“The most effective way to live is as a warrior. A warrior may worry and think before making any decision, but once he makes it, he goes his way, free from worries or thoughts; there will be a million other decisions still awaiting him. That’s the warrior’s way.”

“A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it; and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.”

Choice implies consciousness - a high degree of consciousness. Without it, you have no choice. Choice begins the moment you disidentify from the mind and its conditioned patterns, the moment you become present....Nobody chooses dysfunction, conflict, pain. Nobody chooses insanity. They happen because there is not enough presence in you to dissolve the past, not enough light to dispel the darkness. You are not fully here. You have not quite woken up yet. In the meantime, the conditioned mind is running your life.
