Hello friend!

Do you realize, that when you started reading this blog post, that you’ve already did something powerful and potentially life changing?

What did you do exactly?

YOU made a choice!

Repeat after me – “Choices are powerful!”

(You know the drill).

Again! “Choices are powerful!”

It’s one of the first few gifts that God gave humanity. It’s also one of those major things that separates us from every other specie out there.

Sadly, not a lot of people see how powerful choices are and that each of us have the capacity to exercise so much strength.

Just how powerful is a choice?

In small situations, it may not look much.

Want a Venti or a Grande? Want it cold or hot? Do you want to eat pasta, rice, or a burger? Are you at least having dinner, or are you in a diet and skipping a meal?

And even in these minor situations choice has the ability to satisfy your craving or not. It has the ability to upset you or meet your expectations. 

It can also make you feel good or miserable.

Just imagine what kind of choice you can make that’ll make you feel miserable.

– How about choosing to eat that leftover dish from last night because you were so hungry? And now you got indigestion.

– How about putting your hard earned money into an investment scheme you’re not familiar with? And sadly you were scammed.

– Or how about choosing to take just an additional 5 minutes of sleep? And so you missed your flight and have to pay 5x plane fare for a new one.

That’s how powerful you are!

Now, Imagine choosing to give in to your emotion to destroy someone’s reputation? Or post that nasty comment on social media for all to see?

You choosing that will have its REPERCUSSIONS.

You don’t want to go viral for the wrong reasons, right? And yet we’ve seen countless of people make unwise choices that make them infamous.

So If you feel powerless… well, you don’t really understand what kind of POWER you already possess.

Within you is time bomb.

You have the capacity to enrich people’s lives. And you also have that capability to destroy them… including yours.

Again – That’s how powerful you are!

What if I choose not to write these articles?

If I refuse to share what I know, there may be one less person in the world who might have gained clarity or feel encouraged.

If I had the ability to help one more person reach their dreams but I just don’t feel like I want to share anything I know anymore, what do you think would happen?

What if those who I have learned from over the years decided not to share their wisdom with me?

The kind of learnings I will be carrying now would have been different. My life could have taken another route.

Of course, the dynamics is much more complex than all this, but –

History is defined by the many small and huge choices each human has made.

Wars, scientific breakthroughs, inventions, and even disasters have happened because of the choices of one or a few men and women.

And because people also make better choices everyday, our lives – theirs, mine, and probably yours too, also become better.

Look around you – every object that you see that makes your life easier or more convenient are all the results of choice

– the car you’re driving to get to a place faster

– the fridge that stores your food longer so you don’t need to go to the market everyday,

– and even that Korean Drama you’re watching to keep you feel good and entertained,

All of those exist because there was someone who chose to pursue an idea, follow their passion, or be that person that would bring their vision into life.

They chose to do those things instead of giving in to fear or listen to a harsh critic who said they weren’t good enough.

And so I really want to encourage you today.

Stand up in the mirror and tell yourself – “I am powerful because I can choose!”

Because really – you can WILL things into existence.

And it’s starts with choice.

So what are you choosing today?
