Witness your choices

As you go through this day, make whatever choices you wish. And remind yourself with each one that it is indeed your own choice.

Be an aware and observant witness of all the choices you make. You’ll find that it adds power and perspective to everything you do.

Many times when you have the opportunity to make a choice, you essentially give that choice away. This happens when you allow yourself to react in a conditioned and predictable manner out of sheer habit.

But you never have to do that. Each choice can indeed be your very own.

You don’t have to be offended when someone seeks to offend you. You don’t have to become angry when others seek to incite your anger for their own purposes.

You can make any choice you wish. Pay close attention to those choices, and you’ll quickly learn to harness their awesome power.
