February Word of the Month

CHOICE

noun

an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities.

I realize that the month is just about over. It's just been one of those month!

I actually picked the word of the month for February at the very end of January.While attending a trade show I found myself making a very conscious decision about how to deal with something.

I was absolutely pleased with myself and the choice I made. Others around me remarked about just how "bold" this choice was and how impressed they were with my attitude regarding it.

Time and time again,I understood it's all about choice.

The choices we make.

Everything is a choice.

Our mood.

Our attitude.

Our appearance.

All choices.

Here's the thing about choice. It is an action.

It does not possess a quality.

It is neither good nor bad.

It is not wise or dumb.

It is not smart or stupid.

We make them based on the way we interpret the information that we have in hand when we make them.

There is the choice and then the inevitable outcome of that decision.

The choice was just an action. The outcome is what it is.

And then we get to make another choice.
