Choice!

We have an amazing power. Choice.

When Gandhi spoke of being the change we want to see in the world, there was a presumption of choice and the power in it.

Still, we often think of choice in large and grand ways. Every moment is a choice. Many of our choices are almost on auto pilot. Conscious living does not pre-suppose serious, dreary living. Our choice to be happy, our choice to live healthy, our choice to laugh and learn, and our choice to forgive... all can be liberating and deeply joyful. So many choices, and their collective power and result can be our destiny.

My choice today is to go inward. In my prayers and meditations today, I kept hearing that my path lies within... and I am hearing much is "under my nose". As a planning guy, it is interesting to hear this... challenging even. Yet, I am understanding that having goals does not run contrary to living daily. I am understanding that having authentic goals is cool, and living and learning and listening daily gets me not to where I want to go but where I need to go.

What does this all mean? I have my vision. But, I now choose to live one moment at a time... as best I can, observing, learning and acting upon. AND letting the rest unfold.

So, today I have. So be it. More to follow. ;-)
