Graduate Or Get Left Back – Your Choice

September 6, 2023

In previous posts it has been repeated that all that comes our way, is what is needed for our growth.  It’s also been said that it is important to develop the attitude of believing and accepting that.

What is originally sent our way is not to be confused with what comes our way, from the choices we make with that which is sent.  Sometimes the choices we make are seemingly expedient, but are mistakenly so.  Usually, those expedient choices are the ones that feed our ego/wants rather than our needs/needed fors, our other centric giving self.  In considering which choice to make, take the “ten count” and ask yourself what you are feeding.  We are responsible for those choices.  We are responsible to ourselves for how they effect our growth and we are responsible for how those choices effect others.

If the choices you make are ones that don’t lead to improvement, then life/your coach will continue to send you other challenges/drills meant to improve that deficiency.  It’s as though you took the wrong exit on your trip, your personal GPS will re-direct you if you pay attention.  In other words, you get second chances through lessons sent.

How quickly you get to your destination is up to you.  It depends on whether you choose to be a slow or fast learner by paying careful attention to the lessons, past and present.  That which comes your way and what you do with it determines how quickly you get to where you need or are meant to be going.

“In life there are two paths, the shorter longer way or the longer shorter way.” – Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi

You have free choice.  Your choice determines whether you graduate to the next grade/level on your mountain or are left back to repeat.

You Cannot Lower Your Mountain, You Can Elevate Yourself 

Today, you are the sum of all your choices so far.  You will become the sum of your choices, starting right now.

“Life is a sum of all your choices.” – Albert Camus

    Agree we all have choices and must make them. Some turn out to be correct and others don’t but we must live and learn from them.
    Thank you for you words of wisdom.
