Clever Owner D Four simple keys to transform your life The power of choice Every one of us makes countless choices every day Every choice we make has an impact on our lives Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel When hunger strikes we can reach for a healthy nutritious snack or we can choose the sugar high of junk food The more important the decision the greater its effect For instance how do I act towards that person who treated me badly Do I generally choose to be passive or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life Every choice we make however big or small affects us in some way How do you make choices If you are interested in living a richer fuller life there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you but also for those around you This foundation is to choose based on what s best for all Imagine a world where every parent spouse 配偶 friend teacher businessperson and politician truly did their best to choose what s best for all involved in every decision they made We would certainly live in a more caring supportive world It s the intention But how do I know what is really best you might ask The answer is simple It doesn t matter What matters is not the choice you make but rather the intention behind your choice What matters is that whatever decision you make you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what s best for all If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice there s no need for guilt Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what s best for all your conscience stays clear and open This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes and to live with a clear heart and mind What s best for me too Choosing what s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for other An 7 overly 过度的 exhausted mother can lose her temper easily Some time off for this mother might seem selfish yet in the long run it can help her to be a better mother to her children So as we move through each day of our lives let us remember to include ourselves as we do
