It is not that life is full of choices, life is nothing but choices. There is never a moment when you are not making a choice. You choose your thoughts. You choose how you experience the moment. You choose your view of yourself.

See yourself as a house, and think for a moment about decorating this house. How would you like it to look? How would you like it to feel? How do you want to feel when you are in it? Anxious? Uneasy? Stressed? Lonely? Frightened? Or perhaps you'd rather feel happy, content, safe, relaxed, loved?

There are so many things out there with which you can decorate your house. It is like a smörgåsbord. How about some wallpaper of disturbing news of "the way of the world" in the living room, an old grudge down there in the corner, a couple of recliners of injustice, and a chandelier of gloom? It’s all out there, if you wish you can bring it in and decorate your house with it.

Or would you rather decorate the walls in the living room with nature's beauty, precious smiles scattered all over, a couch of kindness, and a ceiling lamp of acceptance and love? That’s out there as well. You’re free to choose.

And yes, we know, it feels like you need to get everyone else on board. They’re the ones dragging in all the junk!

But no, you have your own house, they have theirs. You decorate your house. You choose your thoughts and your focus. You live in it with your perception of yourself and others. It is all yours.

To realize this can at first feel aggravating, and most people react by rejecting the idea. – I can not possibly have decorated my house this way. With all the choices out there, why would I have brought this home?!

However, knowing that you, and only you, decorate your home, and knowing that there is an infinite number of things out there for you to bring into your space; as self-empowerment grows, a sense of true freedom emerges.

All of it will always be out there, you don't have to fix any of it, it is fine. Just choose; what is, in this moment, hanging on the wall in front of you?

This concludes this reading.
In our hearts you rest, as we send you love.
