Choice
All that you are, all that you have learned and experienced, is born of choice – the choices you have made, the choices others have made on your behalf, or choices they have made for themselves that have impacted on or influenced your life. You may believe that you have no choice, but that in itself is a choice. You may also exercise your right to allow others to decide for you – this too is a choice.
You may believe that you have too many options, and allow this to confuse and cloud your ability to choose – this is yet another choice. You are free to choose, or to allow others to choose for you. You can choose blindly, or with care. You can choose to act, or procrastinate. You can make your choices wisely, with knowledge and awareness, or make them in ignorance. Whether you choose to believe it not not, you are blessed with free will – the power to act and choose independently and determine your future.
You are a product of your choices and the choices of others. All that surrounds you within your environment is the result of your choices and the choices of others. All comes back to Choice.
In this moment, exists an opportunity to create or transform your future. You stand at the crossroads. The past is behind you, and the future lies ahead. Now is the time to take control of your life and determine the direction you wish to take. Be both mindful of, and responsible for, the choices you make in the present. Take note of how your relationships, beliefs, and emotional state are influencing you.
Do you see opportunities and options available to you in abundance, or are your opportunities few, and your options limited? Are you a glass half-full, or a glass half-empty kind of person?
Use this moment to take stock. Ask yourself if the decision you have before you is being overly influenced by your relationship with another. Are you choosing in order to make someone else happy, or to make yourself happy? Is your choice fraught with risk? Have you given thought to the potential consequences or rewards of this particular course of action?
Remember the choice is yours, whether that choice involves taking a risk, allowing someone else to choose for you, or giving another's happiness and well being more important than your own. It is even your choice to do nothing at all.
When the choice card appears in the present, you are being asked to make your decisions with the awareness that your choices define you, and have real power. Your choices create your present and future reality, and, for good or for ill, will have an impact not only on you, but also on those around you.
You have a decision to make in your life today and when you make that decision you need to remember that you have power in your life and control over what you want to happen. We are in a time where the energy surrounding us is incredibly strong for change. Samhain is helping us to leave behind that which is no longer in our best interest to make way for new things and new energy in our Witch's New Year.
