It seems like I am working towards changes all the time. In my perspective choosing the life I want to myself start with the acknowledgment of what and who I am. Only then I can really choose the life I want to myself and take responsibility for my life. I appreciate your enlighten post. Thank you. Dear Jonathan

Walking away takes courage. It's a courageous choice, but look at the blessings. Thank you for sharing that.

Frankl, and wise words from you my friend. It is such a shame that so much personal power goes untapped because the choice is never made. But like you said, even not choosing is a choice.

Jonathan, thank you. I think it's really easy to fall in the trap. I am pretty good about self-discipline but that mattered not when my self-discipline was about the "wrong" thing - namely a career that was not serving me well, and change out of that comfortable (financially) yet truly disruptive work mode (affecting my health, well-being and my poor boyfriend/now husband!). And I finally one day walked away and have I ever regretted it? Things I have done for me and for my health since I broke those chains, now that could be a long story for another day but the short of it is that your advice rings so true, through and through...no play on words intended! :) Such clarifying thoughts on such a rainy day over here.

Not to blame anyone or anything including ourselves but to take full responsibility. Of course in more detail as Robin put it so eloquently. I love it! Thank you! I try to live that way but now am even more aware of why I truly should!!!!!

In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." ~ Viktor E. Frankl We DO have the power to choose our responses...always. And I often think about this idea of "doing nothing", and how that truly is a choice too - we are choosing to do nothing. The power of choice...such a great reminder of what we CAN do when we actively choose our responses (to everything). There is great power within each of us....it's just a matter of choosing to use it. Love the thoughts Jonathan!!! .-= Lance´s last amazing blog post ..<a href="http://www.jungleoflife.com/2010/04/20/laughter-in-the-jungle/" rel="nofollow">Laughter In The Jungle</a> =-. Jonathan,

Every aspect of life presents us with options and all we need to do is pick one, and sanctify it with some action. What could be better than that? I really love the articles on getting unstuck. Even more that the articles I enjoyed the wisdom and energy around the project. It was very special. Hi Catrien, isn’t it great to have so many choices?
