Traveling on your own is such a great experience…
I people watch all day long. I even have these ‘silent conversations’ with total strangers! What I notice is how similar we all are…
It doesn’t matter if I am in Bangkok, Stockholm, Malta, Paris, Rome or my own home town of Ft. Lauderdale, I see some couples hug and some fight… Some kids are laughing and some are in a tantrum… Some people are nice and others are mean… Some people are clothed well and others wear torn garments.
It’s called, “Being Human.”
I can’t help but wonder, why some people have a life of love, laughter and prosperity, while other people have a life of hate, tears and poverty.
My belief is this: IT IS A CHOICE.
Many of you may not believe that, but the older I get and the more traveled and well-read I am, the more I realize the POWER in CHOICE. What do you choose today?
No matter what circumstance you are experiencing, you have a choice. You get to choose how you respond, how you think, if you’ll smile, if you choose to be generous, if you choose to pray… EVERYTHING in your life is given to you because and through A CHOICE you made somewhere along the way…
What do you CHOOSE today? If you want to experience a life that is far better than your wildest dreams, answer these questions:
Today, where do you choose… To let something go? To accept? To surrender?…
Today, Where do you choose to smile? And where do you choose to be bold? Adventurous? In what situation do you choose to make it easy? Have fun?
Today, when do you choose to pray, meditate, visualize your dream?
I went grocery shopping for the second time since being in Rome. The first time, I had to CHOOSE to like it and choose to let go of feeling incompetent. That was a conscious CHOICE in my attitude…
Guess what? Today, I was so good at it! I knew that I had to weigh all my own fruits and vegetables. I knew how to manage the carts, the lines and other shoppers. And I knew that you bag your own groceries and do it quickly before those Italians get impatient with ya!!
The point is, now I know how to do it and it’s fun. Before, I had to CHOOSE for it to be fun. Make sense?
My intention is that you really get the power of CHOICE! Choice and Free Will are the gifts God gave us when He created us. What a privilege… WE GET TO CHOOSE!
And your choices Create Your Life.
I’m off to Lisette’s cute boutique here in Roma where I am helping her get a Fan Page on Facebook and then she’s taking me out for a drink and some delicious conversation!
