Less and More
/
What if everything in your life is a conscious choice? That's a big question, I realize.
You might feel like some things have been thrust upon you. Happened to you.
I felt that way for a while about my brain tumor, but the experience taught me that:
[box type="none"]No matter what is happening in your life you always have a choice.[/box]
Things will happen. When they do, you get to choose what happens next.
You get to choose what you believe about and do about what's happening, and how you treat yourself and others in the process.
In that way, everything becomes a conscious choice.
Inspired by the lists Nora Ephron made at the end of her book, I Remember Nothing, I'm making my own.
If I get to choose, then what do I want?
