Recently I saw this posted on Facebook and wanted to share it. Life really boils down to choice. Many of us spend a lifetime “shoulding” all over ourselves. How would it feel to choose instead of doing what you think you should?
I grew up being the “good little girl” doing as I was told and/or thought I should. It’s only in the past decade that I realized I held the power of choice. So in my 40s I discovered that making my own choices empowered me to be the person I want to be. This allowed me the opportunity to decrease my stress and increase my self-esteem. My inner critic doesn’t pop up as often and I’m generally a happier, more content person. I am my authentic self, showing up in the world the way I want and know is right. Try a life of choice! It is refreshing & empowering!
