Choices Made

I ended my last post with a statement "I make a choice every day, every breath, because I am free." What does that mean? What kind of choices? Fairly simple really...

• I choose to see the good in everyone I meet.
• I choose to love even at the risk of that love not being returned.
• I choose to expect the absolute best out of everyone I am associated with.
• I choose to give my absolute best in every situation.
• I choose to believe that no one is intentionally out to hurt me.
• I choose to believe that everyone has a story to tell and it is as unique as the story teller.
• I choose to believe that what is right for me may not be right for you - and it's ok!
• I choose to live my life today expecting that there will be no tomorrow.
• Everyone has flaws - that's a given. If I choose to live my life pointing them out, it would be a pretty miserable existence. You don't have to look far to get a glimpse of mine!
• I choose every day to love my wife and my family. It's a pretty easy choice. By making that choice, I also choose not to allow anything to come between us. Because I choose to have nothing come between us, I have an expectation of the same from each of them. Failure is not an option.
• I may get angry, I may get frustrated. I choose not to allow those emotions to rule my life. They are irrelevant.
• I choose to believe that the same Jesus who gave it all up for me, did so for everyone else and did so freely - that's what makes Him a Savior.
• I choose not to make choices for you - that is your choice, choose wisely.
