When I was a kid there was this series of books called Choose Your Own Adventure. They were awesome. I read every one. In these books you were able to choose what would happen next!
It wasn’t written in order, so while reading it you had to bounce back and forth throughout the book to go on your full adventure. There were always two or three possible options that lead to more options which eventually had you arrive at your ending.
Along the way there were plenty of twists and turns and unexpected endings.
The best part…you could always have a do over.
Now wouldn’t that be great in real life? Keep choosing whatever you want, then do it over if you don’t like it?
I think that was my favorite part along with the sense of freedom to make whatever choices I wanted with no fear. I was able to let my imagination run wild and take me on a journey into the unknown.
So I grew up wanting my life to be like this, but lets face it, this is reality and we know it’s not that easy.
We have an idea of what we would like life to offer us and then all too often roadblocks show up in our way. Unfortunately, life can throw things at you repeatedly. This could change your course many times. Only difference is unlike the book you didn’t choose it…so most likely it is not what you expected, probably not what you wanted either and well….there is no do over.
Luckily, we are always given the opportunity to choose a better path or course of action the next time around. This will require you to start over and get back up again and again. Making better choices, thoughtful decisions, and how it could impact others is crucial in desiring a better outcome.
If you really want to choose your own adventure it will require COURAGE. It will require you to completely be who you are. You will have to stand in your own light. FEARLESSLY. The truth is that life will continually test your resilience and ability to adapt to all sorts of situations.
If we pay attention to our intuition and the nudges, they will steer us to a path that we will enjoy being on. Listening to your inner voice is imperative. You will not be on your path if YOU do not put yourself on there. No one else can do this for you.
If you want something you must create it. It starts in the mind. Your thoughts are energy. That energy goes out into the universe so it can get to work on your behalf. In the meantime you take action where you can on what you are trying to achieve. Sometimes it looks as if nothing is happening. KEEP GOING. When the timing is right…your energy and the energy from the universe will collide and you will find yourself standing in the most perfect outcome you desired and created!
Will it be worth the wait? Yes!…. because you can say you chose your own adventure!🏕
