Quit Avoiding And Start Getting Excited About Making Choices
Let’s be true to ourselves. We are really not those “easy-going” people. We have our own preferences in every situation. If you don’t start making choices for everything that happens in your life, others will be more than happy to make that choice for you. So how do you know if you’re really the “decision-maker” of everything in your life? Well, personally I believe the easiest way is through the conversation you have with yourself and others. When you are out with your friends or family members who make the decisions? Your friends? Your loved ones or you? When you have a different opinion or preference, do you voice them out or keep them inside you? Now I am not suggesting that in every outing with your loved ones, you should always make the decisions. What I’m saying is that you should start recognizing that you too have the right to voice out your preferences. “I don’t know”,”I’m fine with anything”,”You make the decision”, “I have no preference”. Does these phrases sound familiar? Do you often say whenever you’re asked to state your preferences? Starting to recognize your own preferences is one very important step to recognizing your uniqueness and individualism. “When we learn to say a deep, passionate yes to the things that really matter, then peace begins to settle onto our lives like golden sunlight sifting to a forest floor.” ~~ Thomas Kinkade ~~ Also, remember it is really alright to have preferences or opinions different from others. Why? Because you’re unique and you’re always free to voice out what you prefer. You always have the ability to make choices. It is just that since young, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the choices made for us are always better than the choices we make for ourselves. Even though we do not like them, we are taught that they are “for our own good”. In addition to that, we’re made to believe that “easy-going” person is someone who readily accepts any choices others made for him or her. Does that sound familiar? Are you someone like that? Being “easy-going” is surely not about accepting someone’s choices mindlessly. Instead it is accepting one’s choices mindfully. Therefore start to acknowledge and recognize your own preference and make your personal life choices now. Remember, when you choose not to voice out your choice, you are already making a choice.
