ClearMind Lesson 5: The 2 Life-Changing Choices
You may consider what you’re about to read simplistic, maybe even unrealistic.
I guarantee you that it is true and one of the most powerful concepts I know.
In the course of your life, you can either walk straight toward the things that you really want, or… You can walk away from the things that you really want.
Further, you can either steadily increase your power, or you can allow it to wither away. These options are not a matter of fate - they are purely a matter of the choices you make every moment of your life.
The two life-changing choices are:
1) Will you complete actions that bring you toward your desired goal or away from your desired goal?
2) Will you complete actions that strengthen your power or weaken your power?
Remember the Reality of Constant Action? You already make these choices every moment of your life. Every moment you are alive you are either moving toward or away from your desired goal. In the same way, every action you take will either strengthen or weaken your power.
When choosing the difficult “strengthening” option is toughest, that is exactly when your power increases… and you become a stronger, more capable person.
As you practice The ClearMind Habits every day, these decisions will become easier and easier… as a result, you will become more and more powerful by the minute.
Why would we ever do otherwise?
We are bombarded with distractions, information, and misinformation that often prevent us from thinking clearly and choosing wisely.
It is easy to forget that we are responsible, and have the ability to choose each and every action. We must never forget that we are creating our own lives in each moment, with each choice that we make.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
Viktor E. Frankl
