The Power of Choice: Using Will to Create a Happy Life

by Dr. Annette on June 23, 2009 · 3 comments

Using Free Will to Choose Freedom and HappinessWhen we’re stuck in the middle of an unhappy or undesirable life circumstance, it often feels as if we don’t have any choice at all. We feel trapped in a corner, or imprisoned in our unhappy bodies or lives.

 

However, no matter where we are in life there is always a choice about how we proceed. We can’t change what is, but we can change what will be.

 

The first step to lift out of an unhappy reality is to activate ‘will.’ Will is, perhaps more than any other factor, the key to human freedom and personal power. Will is the ability to deliberately choose a specific course of action. In simpler words, will is your power of choice.

 

Life is filled with infinite choices. All around us are opportunities, challenges, and of course there’s always our ability to continuing following the path of we’re currently on. In this smorgasbord of life choices, is it up to you to decide the best actions for you based on your heart’s passions.

 

This means you have the ability to choose freely what you no longer want to experience and also choose what you do want to experience in your life. Recognizing that you have will can set you free and reward you beyond your wildest dreams.

How easy it is to forget that we are the creators of our life and that at any given moment we have the ability to create a different experience if we choose. You say it beautifully, as you always do, that it’s up to us to decide what is important based on our heart’s passion.

Adrienne, you are definitely speaking the truth! There are days when we feel so tired, so down, so hijacked by heavy emotions, that it doesn’t seem possible that we are the creators of our own life experience. While feeling emotional is a part of life, it is up to us to take those deep breaths and find our way back to the life energy within us.

Thanks for sharing your sunshine!
