We each possess an amazing ability. You could even call it a gift. This precious gift can bring us tremendous joy, wealth, health and happiness. The gift can also bring burden, sadness and bondage. I am referring to our individual agency, our right to choose. We can choose to obey laws and experience the benefits of doing so. We can choose to live or behave contrary to laws and experience the consequences of doing so. When we make wise choices, our opportunities increase and so do our choices. We have more and more to choose from. When we make unwise or poor choices, we not only experience the negative consequences, but our choices decrease. We have less and less options. We are the culmination of all of our choices thus far. We have the lives we do right now because of the choices we have made to this point in our lives. To make changes, to improve our lives, it all comes down to a matter of choice. How will we use the ability to choose? Will we increase our freedoms and opportunities or reduce our freedom, creating different forms of bondage. We can choose!
