Making good choices makes making good choices easier.
Have you ever had a friend who seems to always be in some kind of trouble? That's not bad luck or coincidence. That person makes bad choices and because they are caught up in the turmoil and confusion of those bad choices, making better choices becomes harder and harder to do.
Imagine you are in a burning building. You decide to run to the window and scream for help. When you get there you discover that the window wont open and now, the other path you may have taken is likely consumed by flames. Your confidence is shaken, you are working up a good panic, smoke is filling the room and you are frantically trying to see a way out. You look out the window. It's a five story drop. It seems surreal but, you are actually thinking about throwing yourself out that window! Why, because when we become frightened, panicked, angry or just about any strong emotion, we loose perspective and are much more likely to take a radical approach to what we perceive as a radical situation.
That, I am afraid, is exactly the kind of downward spiral which leads to many of the horrors we humans subject ourselves to. Violent relationships, nightmare working relationships and war. The further you wander down the path of extremes, the more it becomes your norm until one day, you can't imagine your life with out conflict.
Thank goodness there is a flip side. One that awaits the seeker who is willing to ignore every warning and simply stay calm no matter how dire the situation appears. Even slightly less bad choices can change the landscape of a life for the better over time. If you can come to terms with the idea that you always have good choices, even in very bad situations, as long as you believe they are there and get focused on seeing them, that will part the clouds.
Once you have made even small course corrections and are able to build a little confidence, you will be rewarded with a new kind of momentum in your life. The momentum of good things manifesting for you. This is the truest sign of success from your effort to see better choices. Good things just start happening all on their own simply because you wish for them to. I know, that sounds like magic. Well, what can I say. If you can magically destroy a perfectly healthy life, why not magically create an amazing life.
Now, if you can imagine the possibility of all that proceeds, then I ask you to consider this. Once you know there are always good choices, and you make them, Bad seems very out of place in your life. When bad is the exception and not the rule, you can see it coming a mile off and stop it before it harms you and your loved ones.
Making good choices makes making good choices easier. it's just that simple. Chose wisely in the thoughts that you hold when you challenge yourself and we'll see you in the sky.
