What will your choice be?

I love to read all types of books: “Self Help”, “Business”, “Wellness”, etc and I always strive to get a solid “takeaway” from each book (some books I’m fortunate enough to gain multiple “takeaways”). One of my all time favorites is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. A phenomenal book that I would suggest to EVERYONE. It gives great insight that can be applied to areas of your life. My big “takeway” from this book is that EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS A CHOICE.

Yes, there is ALWAYS a Choice……you might not like the Choice, however there always is one. You hear people say things such as: “I really don’t like my job, but I have to go to it” and you might respond: “you have the CHOICE to quit your job” and then you hear:” I can NOT quit my job”….you see people are programmed to think they don’t have a CHOICE when they actually do. The CHOICE here is to either find ways to like your job OR quit your job….just do NOT allow yourself to believe you don’t have a CHOICE because you do. When you grasp this concept, it is actually very liberating and empowering because it reminds us that we ARE in control!

So, the CHOICE I made was to begin the path of a Vegan eating lifestyle. I knew I wanted to be healthier and feel better and take care of my body and the more research I did and the more “experimenting” I did, I knew the CHOICE for me was Vegan. I am asked by friends and new people I meet about being Vegan and how I am Vegan and my first response is: “I made a CHOICE to be Vegan”. Once I made the CHOICE, I found that everything else began to fall in line.

So, what will your CHOICE be?
