Chapter 5: Power | The Personal Freedom Book

Chapter 5: Power

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.”

~ Eckhart Tolle

We use a great power when we make choices. We are each born with a divine power to control and manage our reality – the power of choice. Everything we experience is caused by and a direct result of our choices. Everything. The power of choice gives us the power to act in a particular way, direct or influence the behavior of others, and change the course our lives. This is awesome power, and each one of us has it.

Having the power of choice means each of us alone is responsible for the choices we make. The choices we make in any moment affect what we do, everything and everyone around us, and they set the course for our future.

With the power of choice we also get the gift of eternal forgiveness. Eternal forgiveness is the ability to change our mind and make different choices anytime. What a divine design this is. No matter what choice we make in The Personal Freedom Book – 5.25 x 8

one moment we are always free to make another choice at some other time. This means we can test our choices, see if they are working for us, and change them if we want to. This incredible power to change our mind and make different choices is what is meant by the term eternal forgiveness.

Notes:
We live blindly when we do not take time to understand the awesome power of choice, how to use it, and how it affects our lives.
