The Choice Is Always Yours

The choice is always yours. No one can change your life for you. No matter what you are going through in your life, you can change it.

But it starts with a choice. Do not limit yourself. You are better than you think. When you are faced with issues, do not focus your time and energy on what you are going through. Instead of doing that, why not focus on your time and energy on how you are going to make things better?

‘Struggle … is our reaction, our resistance, our anger towards and our inability to deal with the pain when it happens.’- Gerry Hussey

Things will always happen. You can’t stop things from happening to you. That is life. Remember, according to Gerry, ‘You can learn that you always have a choice, and that the choice you have is not whether pain appears in your life or not, but how you choose to respond to it.’

Your life is not about what you are going through in your life. It is about what you are becoming. It is about what you are learning from what you are going through in your life.

Do Not Be Scared To Express Your True Self

If you want to know your true self, you must cultivate the courage to express your inner self.

Do not hide it. The world is waiting to receive the real you.

Stop accepting who you are not. And start celebrating who you really are. If you do not have the courage to live your real life, then you are living a fake life.

Permit me to ask you. Are you living your real life? If you are not doing what you love to do, if you are not associating yourself with the right people, if you are not being true to your inner self, then you have given up your true self.

Gerry Hussey writes, ‘The sad thing is that we begin to value social affirmation as more important than self-expression and we decide to bend and shape our identity and our self-expression not in ways that express our true self, but simply in ways that get us accepted by others.’

Your life is your life. Your life is bigger than what other people want you to be. Because of that, you must do whatever you can to defend your life. And you can do it.
