The Power of Choice Rule 2--It's always there.

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.
