Live Up To Your Choices

As a Life Coach, you will often hear individuals say they have no choice when faced with a blind alley or dead end. They say they have no option but to take the one direction available, which is often a wrong one. When they say that remark, they must understand that they have to take the responsibility for the consequences of what they decide to do.

However, truth is far from the often-circulated concept that we have no choice. We, as the Life Coach are always reminding people that they have choices. As long as you have rights to protect, you have a choice. When rights are denied, then so are options. When you let your rights be denied, this too is an option.

Just look, for a moment at the issue of slavery. Most of them obeyed not out of willingness, but because they had no rights; and thus, they had no choice but to obey. For many individuals today, even not having a choice is still a choice.

Some are willing slaves. They voluntarily throw their rights away because they believe the person to whom they render service to is worthy of treating them as such. Some simply accept their lot as slaves, and that is their choice. Some refuse to be slaves and choose to assert their rights. All of these are choices.

Any Life Coach worth his or her salt will tell you, the kind of life you have is the life you choose. You cannot blame anyone for how your life plays out.

For instance, you can choose to live happily or miserably. It all depends on you. If you live a hectic life, that’s because you choose to be busy. No one can force a kind of life upon you, not even a superior who points a gun to your head. Every choice has its consequence.

Thus, if you choose to be healthy, live up to that choice. Be healthy. The choice will have to be followed by a decision to be a disciplined individual who is in control. Being disciplined means that you must exert effort to attain and maintain a healthy body. Eat right, exercise right, sleep right, and live right.

You cannot blame anyone else if you get sick. Getting sick too, may be a choice that you make. Some people cannot afford to be healthy because they choose not to afford it. They can spend for something else but not for good health. To be able to prioritize good health in your budget, you have to live a simple life.

Every choice entails a consequence, so you have to live up to our choices.
