Exquisite Choices & Acts of Self Respect

I've come to believe that the greatest choices we make, the ones with the most power, the ones that really change our lives, are the ones that relate mainly to our own Journey. And the ones we call most difficult.  The choices that seem to be a 'thorn' are potentially and more than likely our biggest Gifts. What if this is really true? Maybe these could be called Soul Choices. Big ones.  Of course it does matter, the choices we make relating to others, but when it comes to our own choices, our own lives, our own delicate insights that long to be chosen over the patterns and habits of our story, it's those choices that cradle within them the elegant elements of true power and ultimate Self Esteem.  Real Self Esteem.  Building true self esteem of course requires making choices of self respect, taking action that serves our 'knowings', our hunches and guidance, but the most radical shifts often occur when that problem we've been battling all these years, loses it's appeal in the identity of struggle and we choose to take the next step beyond that. We choose and internal radical courage as opposed to the belittling limits of our historical story. These exquisite opportunities are, potentially one of the greatest catapults we can ever experience in our lives.   Radical transformation and growth can occur when we dare to choose to move beyond the stale positioning of our minds, in our lives and in our bodies.   Maybe it's this easy after all?  To move forward?  To grow and evolve?  To connect more passionately? To choose the hard stuff?  The road less traveled? Maybe it's just the fear of choosing that keeps us locked into old patterns. Maybe it's the fear of failing again, once we choose?  Regardless, consider that your greatest growth and your greatest strength, might just be staring you in the face.  In the heart.  In the mind. Look at the choice.  Maybe it's dark side will dissolve once you step into it, with the intent to move beyond it?  So, have a little..I mean a LOT of faith, take a deep breathe and make a difficult choice.  One that at first seems impossible.  These ultimately, are the most exquisite choices we could make for our well-being, our connection, our self esteem and for our trust and highest Self and joyful Purpose.  These ultimately are the highest forms of respecting our selves and building our esteemed selves.   Just some thoughts.
