Choices and Consequences cont'd

Guess I really didn't explain myself properly in the last post.

I was looking at the choices that these year 10 kids will make and wonder if they realise the consequences.

I thought back to when I was that age and realised I didn't even know the word consequence or indeed what it meant!

I wonder how often we first look at the consequences to some of our choices in this world. Would we make different choices? Do the consequences look good or scarey?

Have fun this week thinking more about choices than you have before.

Choices we make, Consequences we take

Hi Elly
I have been thinking about choices and consequences lately in the bid to change my current circumstances. Your post took me back to year 10 where I suppose I didn’t know to appreciate the good that came and only focused on the bad, putting in place a programming that only saw negative consequences (of course we know what the mind does when we focus on those!!).

Lately as I have been reflecting on how I have gotten to this point in time - it has been refreshing to note that even though a consequence seems to not be the way we envisaged, it has happened due to our thinking and is all on our path to learn and use that information to understand who we are and who we want to be. All events have made us who we are and this in turn has helped me bring about opportunities by being clear in what I want. I am glad that everything has happened in its sequence (I may not have enjoyed some experiences but am here now), and if talking with a person in year 10 now, I would want them to know that out of the scarey comes the good. We have to experience it to learn and move forward. Our mind is a powerful tool to be nurtured and harnessed - we are our life's pilot.
Cheers
