Making a choice and pursuing your choice with conscious intent leads to a rewarding and blessed life. Having limited choices, and playing the hand life has given us with purpose and conscious intent is making lemonade out of lemons. No doubt there can be social, economic or political choice reductions in our lives. Focusing on what we cannot do rather than what we can do, can put us in a negative frame of mind.

I admire the mother of 12 who had little time to do much more than care for her children, but did her tasks with love and intent. Or the mom or dad who worked 80 hours a week because that was the best way they could show their love, and felt fulfilled. No doubt almost every society has error in limiting someone’s choices.

Perhaps when choices were had then taken away the loss of that choice can be more painful than never having one. But I feel how I approach the options I have in this moment, determines my happiness.
