“The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them.But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day by day. These decisions require courage.”― The Courage to Create
I made a big decision today A decision that I’ve procrastinated over for a while now and now I feel relieved and ready to move on.
The universe has a way of putting a thought across your bow when you need it most even if you are idly browsing through Facebook looking for an escape from that very decision you need to make.
This quote by Rollo May popped up this morning and reminded me that we become who we are by our choices no matter how big or small those choices are.
And oddly enough Choices by their very nature need Decisions
The small choices we make every day are a practice run for those bigger choices those choices and decisions that put us out of our comfort zone.
When our body gets used to making those small choices and decisions quickly we find it easier to find that extra piece of courage we learn to dig deeper to find it.
But when I stayed in that energy of indecision I become stagnant I stood there as if mesmerised by that fork in the road my head filled with those never-ending words of
- ‘will I’,
- ‘won’t I’,
- ‘What if’,
- ‘why not’.
- should I’,
- ‘shouldn’t I’
Have you felt like that? It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
But what happens when you make your decision – when your decision is made? – When you take one fork or the other
Well, I felt a surge of relief and a burst of energy and yes that feeling in the pit of my stomach of fear and excitement of New Beginnings but more importantly a feeling of empowerment, of courage, of pride in the knowledge that good or bad I have made my decision and I have the resilience I need to see that decision through.
So if you too are stuck on a decision right now no matter how big or small take a breath and feel where that indecision is sitting in your body, notice how your vibrational energy feels heavy sometimes dark, it feels like a burden.
Notice your headspace how it is taking up all that to’ing and fro’ing with all those questions.
Make your decision – it will raise your energy vibration, you will feel that burden lift off you and your vibrational energy will feel light and bright.
Decisions require courage and sometimes you don’t have to dig too deep
Learn to listen to your Heart and your Intuition, make your decisions from your trust in yourself and raise your vibration.
Love and Light
