Choices
I have been thinking about this topic all day long once I picked this as the Angel Card Message and Key Word for this week. I could have gone on and on, in the YouTube Video, about what I really thought about this card, however, YouTube does set Limits (another Key Word for this month).
If you have not seen my weekly videos, please do check them out so you can relate more to what I am speaking about here, but I basically kept thinking about the different people that I do Life Coaching, Intuitive Readings or Astrology charts for and like all people, I meet with Optimists, Pessimists, and Realists and each have to be cared for differently as well.
The Optimists know that the choices we make, the words we speak and the thoughts we think create our reality. The Pessimists believe that no matter what choice they make, words they speak or thoughts they think, it will not make a difference to what is happening in their lives. The Realists teeter the line of both.
I could say that I was born an Optimist, turned into a Pessimist, teetered on the line of Realism and I am a 5 Planet Gemini(equals 10 different thoughts), but I have ultimately chosen to be an Optimist, because I KNOW that by thinking good thoughts and choosing good words, they help me make better choices that help serve ME for the greater good of all those that I encounter.
When I talk to people about this and give analogies of what has happened in my life, the Optimist will take my advice and most likely try it at least. The Pessimist will most assuredly say “That will never happen”, “He or She will never let me do this”, “Why should I bother, it will not make a difference”.
The Pessimists frustrate me because I know that no matter what I say will not sink in unless they truly want to make a change.
Choices, we make them every day. Most are automatic and we do not even realize that we are making them. Life changing decisions are the tough ones and here is my advice. When you are worrying about a big decision, you are most like overthinking it and those thoughts are coming from your Ego mind. This is when I recommend you stop, take a nap and shut your mind off. Try to feel your choices instead. Say your choices either to yourself or out loud and see how each choice feels. Which choice feels good, puts a smile on your face or gives your belly a little flip and tingle; and I mean YOU, how does it make YOU and only YOU feel? Remove anyone else involved and only focus on how each possible choice feels to YOU.
When you put your feelings in front of any other being or situation you are actually acting for the greater good, not only for yourself, but anyone else involved in the choice.
Nonsense you may say…go ahead and say it, but your Ego mind can over think all of the possibilities of how your choice will affect everyone in your family, your friends, your co-workers – the list is never ending and it is really just a list of excuses to not make the best choice for yourself.
I often here from and coach people that are in unsatisfying relationships. They are not happy, their partner is equally unhappy, there are children, pets, real estate and mounds of bills involved so they are not willing to make a choice to be happy and leave the situation. They do not want to disrupt the children, they do not want to change their financial life style or the fear of being “alone”. So, the stay and choose to do nothing and continue the unhappiness to themselves and YES -to their children and their friend. They cannot see the bigger picture of the myriad of possibilities of how beneficial the better choice could be for all involved. This is only 1 analogy.
When you make your choices from the heart, with love, joy and good feelings in addition to self respect for yourself, in the end, it is the best choice for everyone around you. For if you are happy and full of joy, so is everyone you touch. Now isn’t that a beautiful gift to give?
