The person you are today was created based on the choices you have made in the past.  Yes, it’s true, you are exactly where you are because of the culmination of each and every choice you have made up to this point.  The good news is that you can change the direction you are headed by making new choices and decisions beginning now.

We have all been given the gift of free will.  This is the ability to choose what it is we want in relation to everyday occurrences.  We have the ability to choose right from wrong, to say yes or no, to live the life of our dreams or settle for less.

Many times we make decisions based on our feelings at the time.  If we are acting out of a lack mentality, meaning fear, sadness, anger or loneliness, our emotions lead our choices and we find ourselves limiting our potential. When we are in this state, we often miss opportunities right in front of us that if acted on, would place us on the path of abundance.  We end up settling for less because it feels safe at the moment.

In order to make better choices, you must remain in a peaceful, loving mindset. Most people find this difficult due to the relationships they find themselves in, the things they watch on tv or read in books and magazines, and the challenges we face each and every day.  Living in a spirit of harmony allows you to make the choices that best serve you.

So you are thinking, ‘easier said than done,’ well not really.  We are in control of three things in life, the thoughts we think, the things we visualize and the actions we take.  Make a conscious effort to think and remain connected to your higher self, visualize the person you want to become and do the things necessary to stay on track to become that person.

Choose the best that life has to offer and settle for nothing less.  The universe will always bring you what you need when you need it.  Be grateful for everyone and everything you encounter, even the things that may seem irritating or negative.  Learn from each situation as it comes.  Ask yourself, “what can I learn from my relationship with this person, what can I take from this seemingly bad situation.”  Be honest with yourself and learn from each situation.

Realize that you are surrounded by abundance and it your God given right to live the life you desire.  God wants you to be prosperous. He wants you to be an example of love and generosity in a broken, distraught world.  He has given you special gifts that no one else on the planet has. It is your responsibility to be the person He created you to be.

Step out in faith, become the person you know you are, and know this is exactly where you are meant to be.
