Thankful Thursday - Choices

"Life is a sum of all your choices, so, what are you doing today?" Albert Camus.

I always struggled with making choices. I agonized over what was the right thing to do and worried about what would happen if I made the wrong choice.

Choices in my head were classified only as right or wrong. Nothing in between. No grey area. But someone told me that choices are not right or wrong and if I make a choice that doesn't serve me, it's okay to backtrack and choose again.  

Looking back at some of the choices I've made over the last few years, I realize that those choices made me who I am. They shaped me, helped me move in the world better, especially the big ones like - choosing to keep an open heart, choosing to forgive all the people who hurt him, to, choosing to give back and help someone else make it. 

So what am I going to do today?  I'm choosing to live open, live kind, live with purpose, and forgive no matter what. 

Happy Thursday, Guys.

"..and forgive no matter what." I like that. However, there are all kinds of offences and forgiveness acts. Sometimes, the offender doesn't look for your forgiveness or doesn't even think he(she)has done something wrong to you - so,this adds to the general confusion of those wanting to 'forgive and forget'.

It's funny how sometimes when we make a choice that we think we are locked into it forever. Once we realize we can change our minds and make a different choice we find the key to our own freedom.

I think if we look at choices more like this, it wouldn't always feel so difficult to make them... because you are so right Nikki... if we make choice that isn't quite right for us, we can always go back and make another choice... that is the best way to be xox

Choices ... we have to make them on a daily basis, some are simple whereas others are not.

Reading through the other comments, I really like what Connie has said

I hope you've had a good weekend, we have a three day Bank Holiday weekend in the UK.

Take care and all good wishes for the coming new week. Just think it will be September on Thursday!

All the best Jan

This year God gave me the word *grateful* as my faith word. And I am seeing more and more how gratitude is a choice - a choice to rise above circumstances, a choice to have joy even when happiness eludes me.

May God continue to shape my choices so that mine become His.

GOD BLESS!
