The Power of Choice


Some say love is a feeling, others say it is a choice, I say it is both. It comes quite suddenly and rather unexpectedly, sometimes without sense or reason, sometimes confusing. 

LOVE is a process - a decision to choose to fall in love, a result of the push and pull of many factors. The level of uncertainty as well as the vulnerability it entails makes it something that is not worth rushing into. Some say actions speak louder than words. I say words should be spoken together with the action. 

Most of the time, reading between the lines poses more danger of misinterpretation. There's the thrill but there's the rub as well. People who are in love or are into falling in love tend to form opinions and try to justify rather than the challenge them. As a book I read on choice says, to make the most out of choice, we must make ourselves uncomfortable. 

I choose to discover who I am. And the choice to love someone is a path to discovering our very own selves. Yet the path is not too easy, sometimes, the mix ruble of emotions that we come to feel along the way makes the journey more complicated. The very dynamics of choice, especially in love, entails a gamut of decisions and vast possibilities of give and take.

Once a path is chosen, there is no turning back. And today, I declare to the universe...I choose the path to happiness, the path to freedom and the path to immense joy. I choose the path the love, to finding my peace and to finding my place in the greater scheme of things. Today, I choose the path to me. All else shall emanate from within...the joy, the peace and the serenity within shall overflow to all aspects of my life. 

Today, I choose the path to LIFE. It is worth living.
