Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you will get.
Someone said this to me long time ago. My interpretation was that our life is colorful, welcome whatever comes to your way.
But, today when this same saying comes to me again, I have new interpretation: we do have choices to choose which chocolates we want to eat.
We do have choices.
We can make our own choices in life.
Scenario one: We face challenges, losses, setbacks. We can choose to face them or to hide them
When we don’t allow ourselves to grieve our losses, wounds, and disappointments, we are doomed to keep reliving them. We do not set us free.
Freedom lies in learning to embrace what happened. Freedom means we muster the courage to dismantle “the prison”, brick by brick. To strengthen our muscles by facing our wounds and vulnerabilities.
Courage is a choice.
Scenarios two: In our daily life, we are hungry for approval, attention, affection. We are hungry for the freedom to embrace life and to really know and be ourselves.
Live a life with presence and appreciation is a choice.
There are many choices in life. We are driving the car of life. Life is beautiful, colorful and tasty. The choices we made become who we are.
