MAKING A CONSCIOUS CHOICE, June 25, 2016

"A Dream is a Wish The Heart Makes: or if at first you don't succeed change the rules" (Paperback)

Grace Allison opens by addressing change, one of the key truths, stating that it need naught be difficult, but how do you encourage someone to embrace what may be discomforting, what may be distracting, what may be unpleasant, what may be upsetting? 

Viewed in a more positive light, change allows one to transform, to transition, if the individual is ready [1] to understand change, [2] to re-define change in such a way so they do not feel threatened and overwhelmed, [3] to use situations of change to propel themselves forward, and [4] to empower themselves despite the uncertain situations that may present themselves.

It was Carl Gustav Jung who stated ...... I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become.

So, too, is change about choice.

In the words of Don Miguel Ruiz ...... what we know and believe is just a program; it is nothing but words, opinions and ideas we learn from others and from our own life experiences.

Learning to change your thoughts, words, opinions, ideas, actions and responses is possible.

In the words of Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi ...... You must be the change you want to see in the world.

Learning to live in the present moment (with alertness, with wisdom, with discernment, with love, with joy) is paramount to learning how to embrace change, but the road is often a solitary one.

It all comes down to awareness and making a conscious choice. A Dream Is A Wish The Heart Makes is a book that will guide you in the right direction.
