Life is a journey defined by choices. Each day, we are presented with a myriad of decisions that shape our experiences, relationships, and ultimately, our destinies. The concept of B.C.D. - being born, choosing, and dying - encapsulates the essence of our existence. It reminds us that while the circumstances of our birth and the inevitability of our mortality are beyond our control, the choices we make in between hold immeasurable power.
The power of choice is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It empowers us to chart our own paths, embrace our individuality, and take responsibility for the outcomes of our decisions. Every choice we make, whether big or small, has the potential to shape our lives and influence the world around us.
Embracing the power of choice means recognizing that we have the ability to respond to life's challenges and opportunities in ways that align with our values and aspirations. It means understanding that even in the face of adversity, we possess the agency to choose our attitudes, actions, and beliefs.
Our choices not only impact our own lives but also ripple out to affect the lives of others. They shape the communities we belong to, the organizations we work for, and the broader society in which we live. By making conscious, thoughtful choices, we can contribute to positive change, inspire others, and leave a meaningful legacy.
It's important to acknowledge that the power of choice also comes with the responsibility to make ethical, compassionate decisions especially as a leader. When we recognize the impact of our choices on the well-being of others, we can strive to make choices that promote empathy, equity, and understanding.
The power of choice serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we possess the capacity to shape our own narratives and create meaningful, purposeful lives.
As we navigate the journey from B to D, let's embrace the power of C choice as a transformative force. Let's strive to make choices that honor our values, uplift those around us, and contribute to a more compassionate and just world. Because in the end, it is our choices that define who we are and the legacy we leave behind.
My Saturday share revolves around the profound impact of making choices.

“Embark on a journey of empowerment as young readers explore the distinction between green choices and red choices, uncovering the true power of choice along the way.” - Damesha Craig
Since my children (Huntley, 7 & Harlyn, 6) were toddlers, I’ve instilled in them the importance of understanding the power of choice and distinguishing between red choices and green choices.
By celebrating their green choices and guiding them through the consequences of red choices, I empowered my children with the understanding that each of us holds the power of choice.
Instilling this wisdom at a young age sets the stage for children’s empowerment and growth.
