Choose. It's what YOU do.

choice. choose. decide. judge. determine. pick. opt. vote. agency. free will.

These are all words meaning the same thing. CHOOSE.

The topic of agency has been brought to my attention as of late.  To be able to make a choice, a decision, is a blessing.  We as a humans make millions of choices daily.  Some routine, some for good, and some bad.  We have been given agency to make something of ourselves.  We have the opportunity to become whatever we want, because we govern ourselves.

We choose who we surround ourselves with. We choose what we eat, what we say, what we think, what we believe, what we wear, and what we feel among other things.  What I've been dwelling on recently, is the aspect behind how we choose to be/react to any given situation in our lives.  I instantly think of the quote from Grandma Annie from, The Proposal... "What you choose, is what shall be!"

We decide if we are happy or mad or sad.  When things arise, we have the POWER to react with optimism or pessimism. We make that choice, then we see the results because of it.  So I choose to be angry or bitter over something, then it will be bitter and hard for me to let go. Where as I choose to let it go, or to be happy or at peace with it, and suddenly I feel free.

So choose today.  Decide now.  What will you be?

As for me, I choose to look up-wards, and smile.
