Choices

Sometimes, we can't prevent things from happening. However, we can choose how we react to them.

Imagine this. You just stepped out of the house and there comes a sudden downpour. You need a change of clothes but you are running late for your appointment. How? Well, obviously we cannot choose when it is going to rain or if you would be near a shelter when it does. BUT, we can choose how to react to it!

A. Curse everyone you can think of and lament how bad your luck is. Arrive at the appointment late, and feeling sore about the whole thing and thus probably spoiling your mood for the date.

B. Take it on the chin, run back home and change. And half thinking it might just be as well as you are wearing that horrible purple colour shirt. Arrive at the appointment and your date comments on your nice pink pullover that you changed into.

(OK, abit of exaggeration, but you get the point.)

We all make choices all the time. But not all of us are aware/ conscienciously deciding that we can choose how we react to events, to people, to everything that goes on around us.

"我没有钱。" - a very common statement. (more often now in the current financial climate)

But the next question that is, "What are you going to do about it?"

A. Suck thumb and decide that you are not born to be rich and get on with life.

B. Think of money-making ways. Set financial goals, and get a shot at being richer.

It's all about choices! Choose your destiny today!
