Choosing The Best and Highest Good For Me

 The poster above popped up in my email a couple of days ago.  It reminds me that we are mortal and that we need to make the best choices for ourselves each day.  

I learned years ago that most people want to “pal” with you because they have an agenda that they think you will be able to help them achieve.  In other words, most people are selfish and they will be looking out for themselves, not for you.  I think that the most common mistake that we make is that we forget to choose what is in our best and highest interest because we get sucked into doing what others want.  I hear stories from clients about doing college/university and a career that was chosen by their parents or a spouse.  They have gone through life not doing what they would like to do. 

It is never to late to make choices that feel right for you!  A lady that I met told me that as a little girl, she wanted to play the organ.  Her mother refused to let her have lessons and would not buy an organ.  As she grew older and married and had children, she still wanted to play the organ.  Her husband thought it was a waste of time.  He never bought an organ or let her take lessons.  At age 53, her mother died and left her some money.  She went out and bought an organ and took lessons regardless of her husbands wishes.  She now plays the organ at her church.  She is happy and feels fulfilled.  Her friends supported her and cheered her on as she struggled to read music and she loves them for their support.  

Today… look at what you want to change in your life.  Live by choosing to do what is the greatest and highest good for you!

Blessings.
