"You and I are essentially infinite choice makers. In every moment of our existence we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices." ~ Deepak Chopra

I believe that we are spirit travelling incognito as humans; in fact, I wrote a movie about that. The key concept to us, as spirit, is that we are swimming in infinite possibilities on a daily basis (not that time has the same meaning to spirit), and we have to make choices in order to "tangible-ize" our possibilities. Every day, we choose little things, whether to work out, what to eat, who to spend time with and what to work on throughout the day, and big things, like our interpretation of the meaning of life and how we want to show up in the world.

Our job is not necessarily to create opportunities but to decide which ones to pursue. And the hardest part about it is that there are no guarantees - there are only choices.

So how do we know what choices are best for us? A positive choice just feels good. Some part of us knows that it is the right thing to do. It opens up our lives and creates new momentum for the best of us to shine and be recognized, even if only by our own inner fan club. And we know when it's time to make a new choice when we feel: stuck, tired, sick, confused, negative, fearful, bored, safe, comfortable...and more. We know when it's time to make a new choice. The question really becomes: are we ready to have something new?

A positive choice moves us forward in some sense (even if it's hard to do or against the well-intentioned advice of others) because it helps us become more aligned with our true purpose. It's a choice that is about us, not about anybody else or their wishes or what they can gain by it - it's truly in our best interest and we have the domain to make the choice at hand. A positive choice sets us up to win - we will gain something, whether it be knowledge, skills or experience, by pushing our growing edge.

3 Things You Can Do:

1. Look at where your growing edge is hiding. Consider where you are too comfy, or anxious, stuck, bored, fearful, negative... any feeling that isn't absolutely free and flowing is a place where your growing edge for new choices is revealing itself.

2. Look at the results you've gotten / are getting. If you don't like the results of your life, which is shown through everything around you, it's time to be accountable to yourself in a new way. New choices will require you to show up more clearly, in a more focused and powerful way. And how you show up by making new choices will generate new results - it is simple cause and effect. Change the cause (choice), and you change the effect (result).

3. Make a list of all your possibilities. Consider new directions you could be pursuing in the following areas: career/vocation, self-knowledge, family, wealth, reputation, marriage/relationships, communications, creativity, community, health. These possibilities might come from ideas, inspiration, new associations, doing something you've been putting off, advice from other people, enjoying a wish list thing... it's pretty much endless. If you can list at least 3 new directions in these areas off the top of your head, you've got some choices to make - or you have to answer to yourself why you're not decided to make new choices after making that list!

May you enjoy both the swim in infinite possibilities and the results from making positive choices!
