The powerful habit of choice in life

Everything in our life is based on choices. The choices can come given for many reasons, some of them are economic, for comfort, for wishes or for feelings.

Whatever it is, it becomes an engine to move us forward, whether we are wrong or not. Sometimes we move on a path that is not the easiest or in the right direction or that we had not thought of at first, but, despite the difficulties, we always find a moment to ask ourselves: How did I get here? How did I end up in this job that I like so much? Who would have told me that I would end up with that person that I had known for a long time?

The decisions we make are leading us to where we are now. However, what is really true and necessary is the movement, the change, the evolution of position, as happens in chess.

A universe of decisions

These choices range from trifles, such as what are we going to eat today or what clothes to wear, to more relevant choices such as what we would like to work on, what we want to occupy our time with on Sunday afternoons or who we want by our side.

At a certain age there is a moment when you realize what it is that makes you happy and what you want to invest your energy in. As we know, and as many Spanish sayings say, experiences have to be lived in the first person to learn them.

As we have been told so many times, throughout our lives we are going to experience hundreds of new things, pleasant and / or unpleasant but always instructive. Therefore, as sunsets are added to our vital calendar, we are acquiring knowledge that will be added to our experiential library. Our brain It tends to remember positive experiences and to "draw a thick veil" to those memories or situations that have damaged us for some reason.

Stop and think for a moment about the people around you, if you are proud or proud that they are part of your day to day, month to month or year to year. As Carlos Miguel Cortés says very well, forever It is not a question of time but of intensity. There are people who go through your life for a while and accompany you in thought throughout your life, on the other hand, people that you have in your day to day that end up dissolving with the passage of time.

Therefore, you should think if you choose the people you currently have in your life to be there, if they enrich your experiences, if they contribute Unforgettable moments, if they make you be in harmony or on the contrary if when you need them they revolutionize you and make your way of seeing things change for the better.

Choose to grow as people

At this point, we can say:

I choose you, to be in my life. I choose you every day deliberately and freely, without ties. I choose you being aware that nothing is forever (or yes) and that one day you may not choose me. Just knowing that you share your time with me because you care about me. I choose you because I feel that I want you to be part of my time and my experiences. I choose you because I think that I can be a better person with this choice, with these companies that walk with me over time. That is why I can tell you that the people who are in my life today are not random, each one of them is for some reason.

And you, do you choose consciously?
