When you stop choosing and begin living — this is when you have the power to choose anything you desire. Stop choosing what you do NOT desire!

Today a dear soul reached out and said that she has “no other choice, but to choose something she doesn’t desire.”

What?!?

Have you ever felt this way?

That moment when you feel as though “it” is the ONLY WAY?

The next time you feel this way, do this…

C.H.O.O.S.E.

1. Change.

Change your mind. Change your life.

Change what you see, and what you see will change.

Create something new.

2. Hope.

Keep believing for what you desire.

When your beliefs no longer support your desires, try on a new belief.

3. Offer.

Offer yourself up to you and your life.

Give yourself the gift of YOU.

Offer YOURSELF to your life.

4. Other.

Other ways.

Open up to opportunities in the most seemingly inopportune times.

“AND” creates more than one “OR.”

5. Stop.

Stop comparing what is to what “should” be or “could” be, and see it for what it is.

See what’s true from a new perspective of truth, and stop “shoulding” on yourself.

Stop “shoulding” on your life.

6. Engage.

Engage fully with what is…

SWIM. GOLDIE. SWIM.

CHOOSE. YOU.

Do not allow anyone, or anything, to “make” you be someone you’re not.

Choose you.

When you realize that you have no other choice but to be YOU, you’ll see that you have so many more choices available to you.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Where in your life do you feel as though you “have no choice?”

Look at it from every angle…including how you’re defining it…and see another way.

Write down something different, and take one step today.

Yes, you do have a choice…

You can choose to be YOU.

When you do — it’s no longer a choice — but a choice life that you’re living.

And you no longer see YOU as a choice. Instead, you give yourself permission today to BE YOU and to live YOUR CHOICE LIFE.

Are you ready to share YOU and YOUR S.O.L. STORY?

I’d LOVE to connect with you, and celebrate YOU and your S.O.L.
