THE POWER OF CHOICE

The power of choice is the main reason why every single person wants to stay in a free country so that they have the power to choose. Choice is a powerful word the power actually resides in having the ability to make a choice and not in what that choice may lead to. In other words, we think it’s powerful because of the rewards it avails us, but really what is powerful is the fact that we can make a choice be it good or bad.

Everything in life is a choice some people choose to be rich, others choose to be poor, some choose life, others death and the funniest thing is we even choose what to eat just imagine entering a restaurant and you ask the waitress "what should I eat today " ooh, as ridiculous as that sounds is the same way as someone who does not have a choice for their life, plainly If you do not like making your own choices then trust me other people will make for you but when you do that then you are putting yourself in a position of a young child so what you receive will be less than what you ought to have. Making a choice is a gift from God and we should not take it lightly.

There are things that narrow down our choices, for example, having a debt, with a debt you will have to stay on a job you do not like, you will have to live where you are not happy at all but the main thing is if you are out of that debt to take the time to know who you are, what you want to be and where you see yourself in the future .

let me share a few tips that will help you make a decision.

1. self-awareness
   self -awareness is knowing your ability, strength, and weakness. If you do not know who you are then people will tell you what they think about you and of course when they are lies but because you don't who you are then this will put you in a delicate situation. It is something that we do not look at that much but it means a lot. Self-awareness also means knowing what kind of person you want to be and which steps will you take to be that person you have chosen to be. Any decision that is not in line with what you want to become will be left out.

2. Listen to your Gut
   There are times when we about to make a decision and then there is an inner soft voice that keeps saying noo whatever you are doing is not right if you listen to it then you are forewarned. Listening to our own instincts is something that we should learn because they do guide us.

3. Ask for advice but Make your own decision.
   There is a saying that goes "You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself." every single person has their own experiences about stuff so plainly if you can talk to a number of people that you "trust" and ask about their opinions the better that will be a good way to make a good choice. Always take the final decision never allow any other person to take the power from you.

According to LinkedIn, Dr. Travis Bradberry, president of TalentSmart, mentioned that the most successful people seek for outside counsel. "Their perspectives help you weigh your options more objectively and to spot your subjective or irrational tendencies," said Bradberry

lastly don't be afraid to trust yourself, no one can be consistently supportive of you as you can be.

" Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.” —John C. Maxwell
