Choices

In this North America place that I live I find that choices are a funny thing.

If you have to choose from amongst too many it can potentially become a source of stress.

I guess the thing to remember is that you may not like the choices you have to select from, but at least we do have the luxury of choice.

When in doubt or when I feel the world at large is pushing me around I find myself choosing
to make no choice at all, which ironically is a choice in itself!

If your circle doesn't intersect then you are not actually of the world you are only in it. Within our own circle is safety, but personal growth can only happen at the point of intersection. Global change also happens when the circles overlap . We have all the problems of the world to resolve. History has taught us that civilizations that lasted the longest managed to do that by employing inclusion. We can effect the outcomes of our lives and our planet if we choose to let each other in and cooperate using all our talents and abilities with acceptance and tolerance.
