You cannot always chose what life will throw at you.
You can choose your response. Maybe after an initial outburst of “Why me, God?”
I teach soccer referees, give the player or coach leeway on an initial emotional exclamation. You get kicked. It hurts. You exclaim something. It may not be nice. But it hurt. After that, there is a choice. Keep it up or shut up.
Sometimes what comes at us is a result of choices.
We can choose lots of fried food and sodas.
Where did that overweight come from? The stomach and digestive tract issues? The cancer of the gall bladder (or elsewhere)?
We chose.
Our friend suggests something fun to do. We choose. We get into trouble. (What person who has survived being a teenager can say that never happened?)
We chose.
We devote ourselves to helping other people.
Another choice.
Sometimes someone you know is not aware of their issues. But to offer unwanted advice is never welcome.
You choose to be quiet until the appropriate time.
Choices. We make thousands per day. Choose wisely.
