The quest for certainty, for knowing what’s coming next is a national epidemic right now. With all the talk of terror on our news 24/7 and the heightened sense of fear palpable in the energy of day-to-day living, more and more people are seeking a sense of security and safety … personally, professionally and on a world scale.

Yet, certainty, for the most part, is one thing that you can’t count on … not now, not ever.

Life is a paradox … unpredictable and mysterious … things happen that you are not aware of until they do and yet you still seek certainty BEFORE they happen. Fruitless and pointless. The quest for certainty only increases your feelings of fear and uncertainty … and the more you seek certainty the more fearful you become.

If you want to feel safe and secure, you need to remember WHO YOU ARE – powerful, magnificent, lovable, valuable creative being able to choose. When you remember who you are before you go seeking certainty about what’s going to happen, you put yourself in the driver’s seat of your life and can choose how to respond to whatever shows up.

When you source yourself in love rather than fear, you have more choices about how to respond. Rather than automatically reacting, defending, protecting and managing what shows up, you free yourself to choose how you show up in response….and if you are willing to fully embrace whatever happens next as your loving creation and your opportunity to respond, you find yourself flowing with the mystery of life rather than trying to predict it and control it. It’s the difference between choosing to operate from the biggest context: I Create The Whole Of My Own Reality and being unconsciously consumed by the paradigm of fear.

And if you really need certainty about anything, it’s that YOU are the one who gets to choose … always.

Making choices is simple … just choose.

And that’s where it can get really complicated for you when faced with making an important decision. The thinking mind gets engaged in frantically sorting through the options, making pro vs con lists and endlessly checking the weight of judgement. It’s particularly frustrating when you only have two options … not much choice going on … rather more a dilemma! Either/or is often neither and the spiral of thinking and swinging from one to the other is exhausting. And nothing changes until you make a choice.

When you make a choice something happens, not necessarily what you expect and something always shows up. And when it does, pay attention to your immediate energetic response. That will let you know how to respond … .i.e. make the next choice then something else shows up, then you take responsibility for whatever it is and choose again.

This also poses a conundrum for you. What to choose? What is the right choice? How can I be sure I have made the right decision? Blah, blah, blah … Once again the thinking mind intrudes and you are on a fast track to nowhere decisive or satisfying.

The paradigm of I Create The Whole Of My Own Reality means you get to choose whatever you choose to choose! There are no limits to the number of choices you can make … you have as many options as you can imagine you have and you are free to choose whatever you want to choose.

So stop … take a breath … get present … and remember:

♥  Who you are is magnificent, powerful, lovable, valuable creative being.
♥  Choose what you really, really, really, really want as an outcome.
♥  Detach from future projecting and managing every detail of the process.
♥  Take responsibility for what shows up and choose again … and again … and again …

Don’t get superstitious with this either … it’s not a magic lamp with a genie giving you only 3 wishes so you’d better be careful! You have unlimited power to choose and unlimited choices … go for it!
