Every second is an opportunity for a different choice.

Yesterday, I was asked to supply more of my books to Harry Hartog bookstore. Of course, I said yes, and was on a high for the rest of the day.
I reflected on this more as I drove home.
If I hadn't chosen to challenge my beliefs and WTF I was doing in my life all those 20 odd years ago I wouldn't have explored a different type of thinking, feeling and healing.
I would have stayed trapped in a victim void of self-hatred poising more than I already had. I predict my life would have ended much sooner, as I had already attempted three times.
My choice to stand up and be accountable for my life, my thoughts, my consequences what I was co-creating with family and friends over the years asked me to get very, very real.
My choice to hear The Universe's prompts, through my clients asking for my first book Ditch the Weight & Gain Your Life, I wouldn't have started the writing and publishing journey.
My choice to explore my past and learn how to
- not personalise all that others said and did;
- see other's points of view and
- see beyond their actions and words and see they too are doing the best they can with the resources and fears.
As a result, I have much more empathy, compassion and patience with myself and others.
My choice to challenge myself to live from a space of love, the best I can at the moment, while still self-respecting has brought comfort to many others and helped them to feel something different in this world of shut down.
My choices to follow my gut instincts, while learning to unravel from my mind, ego and fears have resulted in many interesting discussions, lessons and experiences I wouldn't have had.
My choice to come home to me, and not rely on others for my peace, joy and sense of connection has made my life fuller and richer.
My choice to write again, and put my thoughts onto paper has opened up the world to my insights, literally.
My book What the Mind Sees has gone internationally and being noticed in wider circles that I would have thought possible when I first decided to listen and trust 'that voice' that always has my best intentions at heart.
Life is a series of choices. Each microsecond we are asked to make a choice, and so we literally are given millions of opportunities to make a life-changing choice. The question then arises... do you make them consciously or from a knee jerk, hidden, limiting belief that holds you back and in a painful holding pattern of an unfulfilled life?
Yes, I just chose to write what my little voice told me. Challenging isn't it. What are your choices from here on?
Are you going to choose to play it safe and small, or are you going to reach out and ask for help to increase your self-awareness and create your life on Your Terms!?
