Choice

Life is but a series of consequences based on reactions to situations. Life gives us a list of choices, it is the option we deem as right that defines the outcome. Even by not making a choice, we have inevitably made the choice to, not. Life itself is a choice. We have the power to end it as we see fit. Our presence on Earth;however, was not our choice, it was that of a greater being. Some would argue it was due to a substance, or loud irruption. Whatever the case may be, it is not an oversight that we are here. There is a purpose behind every vein, and outline of your complexion.

We have an innate desire to love, and be loved. At times, we chose to deliver the absence of which-creating hate. It is easier to rest in what is naturally in us; therefore hatred is actually a more difficult emotion to yield. Love has the capacity to intimidate us. Our immediate reaction to fear is to turn from it. We have the opportunity to fabricate a new pattern.

Peace is what is left when distance from chaos is created; a mental tranquility within. When we are at peace, the flow of stillness is welcome. When we choose to be at peace, we subsequently chose to be content with all that is within. We are open for gratitude when we are in the state of quietness. It is easier to recognize the good in life, when we are quiet.

The choice to lift others in love is yours. So is the choice to lift yourself in love. Whether you believe in God or not, we all have the desire to be loved, and to harbor compassion.

Is life a collection of circumstances we must get though. Or, is life an opportunity to color our lives with choices that make up our character?
