Today, I want to talk about making important decisions in our lives. You know, those moments when we have to choose between what we want and what we think we should do.

Think back to a time when you had to make a big decision, like negotiating your salary during a job interview. Did you settle for less than you wanted, or did you stand up for what you deserved?

We all face situations where we have to decide what matters most to us. Should we do things because we feel we have no choice (like accepting a job offer just to have a job), or should we explore other possibilities (like continuing to negotiate or searching for a better opportunity)?

This way of thinking is deeply ingrained in us from childhood. We may have learned to prioritize others' needs over our own, always worrying about what others might think or say about us.

Living this way may not be wrong, but it can lead to negative emotions and low energy over time. We might not even realize that we have a choice in how we live our lives.

But the truth is, we do have a choice. When we choose to live authentically, others' opinions no longer define us. We do things for others because we genuinely want to, not out of obligation. This empowers us to give from a place of true intent, making us feel more fulfilled and energized.

Here's what you can do:

- Be grateful for all the experiences life brings your way.

- Take a moment to think about your options in any situation and choose the one that empowers you.

- If you feel like you "must" or "should" do something, remember that it's still a conscious choice you're making.

- Understand the values that are being fulfilled with your choices, whether they are necessary or possible, and take responsibility for the consequences.

- Learn from every decision you make, whether driven by necessity or possibility, and use those lessons to make even better choices in the future.

Remember, you have the power to shape your life. Embrace the choices that align with your true self, and let go of the need to please others.
