 Conscious Choices - Letting Go & Moving Forward
By Jan Eden - CEO IN Training Inc.
Every day in every way we unconsciously or consciously make choices to either
succeed or to fail. The thought of waking each morning and intentionally choosing to fail
is absolutely insane, but on some level we do and we are not even aware of the fact until
it is too late.
It is possible for a person to move from making unconscious choices to
making more courageous, bold and deliberate conscious choices that transform the end
result they are seeking. You can learn to make conscious choices that will not only create
an enormous positive and abundant ripple effect, but also more importantly, sustain the
success achieved. Become the observer of what you desire. Float above the thoughts you
have about yourself and others. As the observer, ask yourself the following direct
questions and answer them sincerely and honestly. “Who are you becoming as a human
being?” “Who are you becoming in this moment?” “What have you
accomplished to date?” Be generous with yourself about your accomplishments.
Taking inventory of your successes may be one of the hardest tasks.
Talking about what we haven’t accomplished always seems to take precedent. We can
invent many lists identifying our deficiencies, however the only benefit would be to
acknowledge the deficiency, discover why it is on your list, and what have you learned and
discerned from it. The conscious choice would be to immediately let go of the
deficiencies, as they are only illusions and certainly do not serve who you really are in
choosing who you are becoming. Who you are becoming is a human being with unlimited
possibilities and desires to deliberately make better choices.
The next questions to ask yourself would be, “What legacy do you
desire to leave behind and be known for?” “What are your strengths and
limitations in choosing to become someone greater?” “What are you not prepared
to do to accomplish your goals or objectives?” and “What are you not doing to
sustain the success you desire?” Most significantly, “What are others that you
have chosen to surround yourself with also not doing to sustain the success you
desire?”
The only aspect of yourself that will disallow you from choosing to
make conscious choices is your struggle in being accountable to your own truth. Knowing
that if you do not make conscious choices that serve you, you will choose to be a victim
of yourself.
The fact that you have knowingly chosen to read this article is no
accident. I congratulate you for seeing the value in yourself. The differences you will
experience in being completely accountable to your every thought, word and deed will
enormously impact the higher results you desire of yourself and for yourself. In choosing
to become greater tomorrow than you are today takes great courage, insight and personal
commitment.
Committing to this level of accountability will positively change your
life. Let go of the fear of change, of the unknown, of the ‘what ifs’ and step
into making conscious choices each and every day that serve you. By intentionally choosing
each step of the way, you will have total control. You will lead your life with pure
intent, belief and faith in the outcome vs. wishing and hoping that you will eventually
achieve the results you desire. Daily practice of living in conscious choice shifts your
energy. The result is very real and awesome. The sensation you will experience is
tangible. You immediately feel more confident, excited, reassured and, most importantly,
more focused on what new disciplines you need master in order to sustain. It really does
not take rocket science to realize that every day in every way, every person has the
freedom to make intentional choices that serve him/her and fuel their life by choosing to
experience a positive outcome.
As I mentioned earlier, a person would have to be insane to actually
choose to sabotage or destroy their life by making poor decisions that feed the negative
and victim consciousness. Forming this new proactive habit will take conscious thought and
delivery. The blessing is that now you know the difference. I trust that from this moment
on you will choose to make the higher choice to be better tomorrow than you are today
professionally, financially and personally.
