Well, the profundity of that question is too much for us to actually handle in this tip so we’ll leave you all to think about that yourselves.

For this tip of the week our headline is ‘I Choose’. It is through my choice that I am empowered. The truth  is that I have unlimited choices of what I choose.

Every little thing I do empowers me if I consciously acknowledge my choosing.

As an example, let’s consider Monday morning. I chose to get up and go to work vs. I hate getting up and going to work. The implication of ‘i hate getting up and going to work’ is that ‘I have to’. The thought ‘I choose’ vs. ‘I have to’ are worlds apart.

I got up anyway so there was already a choice that was made. Choice gives us an empowering context. I choose to get up. I choose to go to work. I choose to take conscious responsibillity for my choices. I am empowered out of this.
