Is There A Right Choice?

                         

Poster comes from an email from a friend

Several days ago, a friend and I were talking about how one can know if they are making the right choice.  Her opinion was that if it moves you forward, then it is the correct choice.  I did not disagree with her.

However, later, as I thought about it, I think that there are many factors to making a right choice.  For me, if a choice feels right and resonates through my heart, then it is the right choice for me.  Granted, it may not be the right choice for someone else.  

One of the easiest, safest places for me to make my choices is out on a walk in the forest in the park or in the mountains.  Nature provides a balanced, neutral space for us to unravel our inner thoughts and to focus on a particular point without pressure.  

I also think there are degrees of choices that warrant more consideration than others.  For example, the choice of whether I have oatmeal or eggs for breakfast is a very simple choice and does not affect world peace.  Other choices like whether to take a plane or drive to a far off destination has more impact on everyone.  Similarly, the choice about whether to support one political party over the other, or whether to support the SPCA or not, can have consequences that you are not aware of.  Those choices may affect both humans and animals.  The choice to support or not, however, is not right or wrong because that judgement comes from outside.  Each choice that you make is right for you.

Many blessings,
