Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Ever wondered why?
How does it feel not to have your needs recognized and met?
What needs to change so they are?
Choose and ask for what you want.
Then, and only then, can you negotiate about the order in which all choices are met.
Yours and others'.

Realize the choices you make.

Say No to others' choices if they're not what you want.
Think about what you really want instead.
Consult your feelings.
Then choose and act.
Go for what gives you pleasure.
Without regrets.
It's the only way we can all be happy, isn't it?

Choice is a gift.

Unless we give, we can't receive.
We are always the first to receive in the act of giving.
Doesn't it feel good to give a gift?
No strings attached.
Just the shear pleasure of giving a well-chosen gift.
No strings attached?
What joy!

Make each choice a gift!

Curious about choices and those you make?

We all make choices all the time, even when we don't!
What choices are you making?
Do they serve you & make you feel good about yourself?
If not, make different choices.
Learn how to choose & how to ask for what you choose.
Otherwise no-one, including yourself, can ever give you what you desire.
Where's the fun in that?

Choose how satisfied you are!

There's always a choice!

Even when we don't choose.
That's a choice.
It doesn't feel as good. It's not as empowering.
Making up your own mind and acting on it ...
That's choice!
If what you choose is not 'right' for you ...
Then, you've learned something really valuable.

Accept who you are and what you can become!

Your body can't lie! You know it can't.
We sometimes like to think otherwise.
But who are we fooling?
No-one except ourselves!
We are how we are, and we can be how we choose.
What we choose might mean work.
So be it!
 

When you make mistakes, do you celebrate them?

Are you mostly free from guilt and shame?
We can learn from our mistakes
If we let ourselves feel genuine remorse
And consequently decide to repair the damage and move on.
Another lesson learned. Another notch on our bed of wisdom.
Sorry ain't Sorry unless it releases everyone from guilt, blame and shame.
Let's celebrate our mistakes, feel Sorry, learn and apply the hard-won lessons.

Can you say Sorry and mean it? And what does Sorry mean?
