We have all said it: “I have no choice”.
Next, we may realize that we always have a choice, even if you don’t consider it a choice. You do have one.
Next, we may realize that we own all of our choices, so we are what and where we are because of our choices (and not because of ‘circumstances’).
Next, we may realize that we can’t control our life’s course completely by just owning our choices, because of ‘circumstances’.
Now there’s only our mindset to influence our life’s course.
We may finally realize that wanting to have a choice or a life course is a product of our striving.
It’s when we let go of striving and assume life as it comes, that we are free.
