Choices. Choices. Choices.
Sometimes A lot of times, I find myself cursing at all of the choices that I have get to have, that we get to have.
I think, if my yoga studio only offered one class a day, it would be a lot easier to choose which one to go to. I think, if there was only one yoga studio that was local to me, it would be a lot easier to pick which one to belong to. But, there are many studios, many classes, many amazing teachers to choose from.
I think, if a restaurant say, Cafe Gratitude, only offered one meal option per day, it would be a lot easier for me to choose what to eat.
I think, if I only owned one outfit, or even multiples of the same exact outfit, it would be a lot easier to pick what to wear each day.
The truth is, if I only had one yoga studio to pick from, one class, one teacher, one meal, one outfit I most likely would be bitching about that, too. Here I am telling myself, there are SO many choices! How will I choose! Ugh..such a rough life! (giggles..and snorts)
Currently, I am searching for companies to print my upcoming merchandise line with. I want to use eco companies. I want good quality (duh), I like to use companies that others recommend. There are so many choices! Not just of companies, but paper, styles, sizes, on and on and on. We are blessed with so much!
Just yesterday, I put in a print order for eco postcard ads for myself and my services. I found myself stalling putting in order in because I could not decide which company to use. To me, they are all pretty much the same because I don’t know much about the printing world. The paper and ink options seem to be the same. The prices are quite relative. So if they are all similar in there offerings, why am I making it so hard to make a choice?
I finally did make the choice of which printer to use (a local eco printer) and then I had to choose what type of eco paper to use! Can you imagine! HaHa.
I am creating so many things right now, which is amazing. Re-designing this site, my book (s), an iphone app, a merchandise line of greeting cards, magnets, stickers, affirmation decks, quote books, small books, more ways to reach people and serve more. Hello, choices!
Really, all of these choices are so small, whether it be what to eat, which yoga class to attend, which company to use, which paper. Really, it does not matter which choice that I make, just that I make one and that I trust that choice.
Funny..as I am writing this I get an email from my new website designer confirming my final logo choice that I sent him this morning and now I find myself looking at all of the choices again and sending him a new choice. I am grateful that he has checked in and inadvertently asked me to look inside and outside, yet again. I am now, completely satisfied with this new choice!
Perhaps, it will end up that I like one menu item better then the one I order today. Perhaps, it will end up that I like another yoga class more than the one I choose today. Perhaps, the company that I use will not end up suiting my needs. But, I will not know any of this until I actually make a choice!
Choose your choices. Put thought into them, trust your gut and your heart. Ask around, but choose and then trust your choice, choose your choice. You chose it. You can choose again.
And remember to stop listening to the should’s and let got of Making Yourself Wrong! xo
Congratulations! You get to choose! The choice is yours and you always make the perfect choice!
Great reminder…I was just thinking that I have to clean my kitchen after work tonight. Really? HAVE to? No I don’t, but I am choosing to so my guest who arrives tomorrow has a nice tidy kitchen while she is staying with me. You’re so right my dear friend, it’s all a choice! Love you.
Nice words!
Sometimes I can’t see my “problem” from an outside view,as if I’m not able to see the real dimension of the situation. That is what embarrasses me in the moment I want the best/pratical choice.
I’ll think more like this : The choice is MINE, and I always make the PERFECT choice!
Thank you very much Tricia!
