The Awaken Academy

How many times in a single day do you suppose you say , “I have to”.
Count them … five will get you ten you say or hear I have to
at least a hundred times between the time you get up in the morning and you lay down at night.

I have to get the car fixed; I have to go shopping; I won’t be home for dinner, I have to work. The truth is you can go home for dinner if you really want to, you choose to work. There is nothing you have to do. Everything you do, you choose to do.

I know you’re probably thinking … now wait a minute Proctor, there are some things a person has to do. You have to pay taxes. Think about it my friends; you don’t have to pay taxes. You have a choice of going to jail or moving to a tax free zone. I agree this may seem ridiculous, but it is true nevertheless.

J. Martin Kohoe wrote a marvelous book titled Your Greatest Power.
His book was about choice. The ability to choose is your greatest power. In fact, the ability to choose is what separates you from the rest of the animal kingdom.

Think of the number of times you are asked to go somewhere or to do something and you feel you have to. You don’t … you have the ability to choose, you can say no! Are you aware that the word no can be a complete sentence? You may choose to be a little more diplomatic and suggest that you have chosen to do something else rather than a straight, flat NO – but it’s your choice.

Give this some serious thought. Life is short – too short to be spent doing something or going somewhere you have not chosen to do or go. Many people stay in jobs they detest. Why? Another short, complete statement, I quit could change their lives.

It is your choice. Choose to have a great day! That is what I have chosen to do today.
