Free Will
This Independence Day I am taking a moment to express thanks for this wonderful country I live in. It’s is the land of the free. And because of the many sacrifices made by Americans past and present, I get to exercise free will everyday. Today I freely choose to be happy and healthy. From what I eat to how often and hard I exercise to the people I surround myself with, I choose my life. It’s all about being healthy and happy.
Our language, actions and attitude are a reflection of the choices we make. We are free to speak and act as we choose. I use to say things like, “I can’t eat that. I have to go workout in the morning. People can’t be counted on.” This thinking and the attitude that came with it made me a victim. Each time I said things like this, I felt unhappy or negative. This changed when I chose to exercise free will in the way I see things. I now say, “I choose to eat healthy because I like the way it makes me feel and look. I choose to workout early because it jumpstarts my day and increases my productivity. And I choose to have positive, loving people in my life because they make me happy.”
Sometimes life is unpredictable and uncomfortable. What makes it worth living is how I exercise my free will. I choose to use it to be healthy, happy and loving no matter how life shows up. If you want the same for yours, I encourage you to exercise your free will in a healthy and happy way too.
Stronger Mindset,
Keith
