Make Your Life a Choice

Many of us, if not all, are living life based on the belief that life happens to us, and we take it as it comes. This means we take on the good stuff coming our way, and likewise we accept the bad stuff as well. Needless to say, we could all do without the bad stuff, couldn’t we? Yet more often than none, we accept the good as if it’s the most normal thing there is, but the bad stuff we grab onto wholeheartedly.

Not just that, we try to fight the bad stuff, try to change it, blame it, talk about it to everyone that will listen, or even post it for all the world to see on any kind of social media. If we’d put that sort of energy and attention towards the good things that happen to us, our lives would be completely different (to say the least). And the funny thing is, we actually can…

Now bear with me, as I go to explain this in a way we all can relate to.

Let us take a look at the TV. No matter if we look at a movie on TV, or if we look at life as the movie we live. If you would stand back in life, and look at all people and sceneries around us as actors and the stages they act upon, then we could take on a more objective view of our lives.

Very simply said; We can make choices on what we wish to experience. Looking at a horror on TV which you dislike… you would turn the channel and find something that you’d enjoy better, wouldn’t you? But what happens when we look at bad stuff playing out in front of us in real life? We don’t make the better choice to disregard it and walk away to find better circumstances. Nope, we stick to the bad stuff, we might even tell the people around us (the actors in our own movie) how they have to behave, what to do, who to be or even how to conform to our needs or wishes.

We often stay in bad situations because frankly, walking out of that situation brings us into the unknown. The unknown world where we do not know what else might happen to us. Maybe the channel you turn to is worse. And that’s often more scary than sticking around in a difficult situation we’re hating, yet we are familiar with. But what if it’s so much better on the other channel? And what if channels on TV are similar to different realities (or parallel worlds) in real life?

Now this brings on a lot of responsibility. Because making a choice to change our life has an impact on ourselves, and others. The difference between our life or that movie on TV, is if we dislike something, we change the channel easily. In life we don’t choose to just drop it and leave. No, first we must give that other person our piece of mind. We need to fight first, or make amends, have closure, or throw stuff out.

Picture yourself in front of the TV. The actors are terrible, the movie is bad. You start to hate the acting and you feel like this movie is wasting your time. You don’t get up and tell the cast how to act, how the movie script should be written, you don’t punch a bad actor in the face nor do you feel the need to say good bye. Nope, the movie sucks and you change the channel to end up finding a nice romantic comedy instead of the horror you were watching before.

Wouldn’t that be awesome and so liberating to do in real life? Just leave the bad stuff behind and switch to something new, choosing to find the good stuff.

Make life a choice instead of it just happening with PSYCH-K®.

Skip the Ego all together with its need to rebel first, just confirm you do not like what you are witnessing, choose what you do want to experience, and then just go and do it! No doubts, no worries, no emotions to process. Just flip the channel which is your current life, and choose another.

Remember one important thing though, which is: The more things change, the more they stay the same. So if you make a choice for the better, the better it will be (and stay). Your life will change in so many ways just making one new choice that will have an impact on something you dislike.

This can be as simple as changing the supermarket you usually go to. It can make you decide to take the exit instead standing in traffic for an hour, get some coffee and end up meeting new people. Yet it may also be as difficult as leaving a job, breaking up with a relationship that got sour, or saying good bye to toxic family member.

If your intention is to find something better,
then something better you will find

Every choice you make, to make your life better in some way, will have a long lasting effect on your life. Because at some point, you will only start making more and more better choices because you will get hooked on happiness, joy, laughter and all other good things coming your way. You won’t feel the need anymore to deal with bad stuff, hanging on, hoping or wishing stuff will change. No you will choose the good, plan for the better, and have the best.
