The Power of Choices: How Do They Affect Our Lives?

Understanding the motivation behind our choices helps us stop following paths for fear of making a mistake

Unfortunately, we haven’t been taught to make choices. From an early age, most of us hear beliefs that make us assimilate that we don’t have the right to think through our options.

We grew up hearing that it is necessary to “struggle” and “work” hard to get what we want. Surely you have heard some of these phrases:

• “The early bird catches the worm”
• “Do you think money grows on trees?”
• “Money doesn’t fall from the sky.”

But these are just some of the popular sayings that have been repeated since childhood and that end up being part of what we believe in and influencing our paths.

We often spend our entire lives not realizing that we are also responsible for creating our own reality. Everything we have or are is directly related to a choice we have made. That is: every choice you make creates a new possibility in your life.

How the power of choice affects your life

Want an example? I knew I was different from others, but how can I be perceived this way if no one else knows?

Don’t forget: you can create something in life only if you are willing to understand that your choices also create new possibilities. Focus not on right or wrong, but on the consequences – positive and negative – of the paths you choose.

Every time you decide that you have to be right and that you can’t be wrong, you end up taking away the choice and limiting your life. We arrive at the decision and eliminate the choice. Every choice you make opens up many doors of possibilities.

Here are some powerful questions you can ask yourself to make changes in your life.

Exercise: Learn to understand your choices

Before making an important choice for your life, think about your motivations. I invite you to try the following self-examination:

• Ask yourself: “I am choosing this for the following reason…”. Or even: “I am making this choice because I have to…”. This helps to understand your goals, what moves you.
• I continue with the reflection: “Am I choosing this because I want to get it right? Or because I’m afraid of making a mistake?” Be honest with yourself.
• End the process with the following query: “What could I choose that I didn’t do because I thought it was wrong for me or my family?”

Don’t look for immediate results in your choices. Instead, be confident in your choice and think about the question mentally.

When you’re confident in your answer, you might ask yourself, “If I choose this, how is all of this going to work out?” So the advice is: stop looking at the future you have chosen. Be present with your body and focus on the question.

Stop judging your choices and leave the exercise of judgment behind – don’t judge yourself or another.

How about starting choosing something new today?
