“Whatever you are not changing, you are
choosing.”
~
Laurie Buchanan
Change is exciting, but it can also be difficult. Having choices usually seems like a positive
thing, and choice and change go together.
In order to make change in our lives, we typically make a conscious
choice. What we sometimes forget is that
not making any choice, is also making a decision. Not making a choice to create change is
making a choice to continue with the status quo.
Not making an appointment for a check-up is
making a decision to put your health on the back burner. Not picking up the phone to call a friend or
loved one is making a choice to not nurture relationships. Not trying techniques on the job is making a
decision to not improve our craft.
Our choices matter. We talk to our children all the time about “making
good choices,” but we can’t forget to tell ourselves that taking no action –
making no choice, is in fact, making a huge choice.
Change requires action, so I urge all of us to
make a choice for positive change, rather than making a choice for
complacency. Not taking a chance on a
choice is a decision to not change.
Would you rather your choice be a conscious one
or a subconscious one made by default?
Take a chance, make a choice, and make a change!
Have a great week!
Mary
