The Power of Choice Rule 2--It's always there.
In my last post, I kind of tipped my hand to this installment when I went in on the phrase "It is what it is." However, I will still go with it here in Rule 2--It's always there.
Yes you always have a choice. In each instance we have in our educational and every day lives, we have the ability to make a choice. It is always in our hands, no matter the situation. The only time we do not have a choice or the opportunity to make a choice, is when we give that power away.
The power of the choice is key; if you hold on to it, if you secure that power, no one can take it from you. You have to give it to them. And yes, we do this from time to time, when we enter into contractual agreements with employers or businesses. I will use myself for this example; I have entered into a contractual agreement with my satellite provider. Effectively, I have give up my ability to choose my provider of cable. My company has the ability, while I'm under contract, to reassign my local channels and add or take away channels from my lineup without consulting me. Now, if I CHOOSE to nullify that contract and not sign the coming year's contract, I take back that power of choice! So I will reiterate; the power of choice is always there. It's up to you to seize that power, and take control of your direction both personally and professionally.

The Power of Choice-Rule 1
The Power of Choice
Rule 1: It's Yours!
The Power of Choice, it's not a new concept, but one I want to highlight for you. You have the opportunity with your decisions to positively or negatively effect your every day life and your future.
The greatest thing about choice is that it is always in your hands. It is always there, and no one can take it away from you. Yes, you can give it away, but there again--it's your choice!
Now to speak to this a little more, I must speak out against one of the most over used, and annoying sayings in pop culture:
Oh my goodness does that saying drive me nuts. If you say, or accept this saying, you have given your power of choice away. You always have a choice, it's there. Sometimes it's a simple fix like, you don't like the offerings at lunch. Simple fix: Pack your own. But there's always a choice in bigger situations as well, don't like the way your boss speaks to you or treats you? Big fix: explore your options and make your move. It's tough and it's scary, but you have the choice!
Big or little, every day or life changing--your decisions are just that: YOURS. Seize the opportunity and take advantage of every situation presented to you to better yourself and better your life.
