RENEWAL & TRANSFORMATION
Choices
We are the sum total of every choice we've ever made up to this point. How you're feeling right now has a direct correlation to the choices you've made in the last 24hrs, week, etc. Did you drink too much last night? Did your daughter just give you a big hug? Are you anxious because you don't have the funds to pay rent? The choices we make are vital to how our lives will ultimately turn out. We're making choices at every moment. Some small - large Americano, no room for milk - and some large - I'll take the red Volkswagen EOS, please. Whatever the importance, each choice we make is like a flag on the map of our lives, designing its course. The course changes dependent upon the choices we make, which further shapes our happiness level and our quality of life. Are you looking over your life wondering: How did I get here? Its based on the conscious and unconscious choices you've made in the past, and the choices you've allowed others to make for you. This is probably the most disturbing. Once, I remember taking a job at a place where the owner assured me that they'd promote my new service. I made the choice to believe them and leave it in their hands. They did not promote me, which shaped my working there. This taught me to always take care of myself in business, even if someone swears that they'll take care of everything. This is a common example but one that can happen easily when we allow others to make important decisions for us, or when we opt out of making a choice (which IS making a choice). I'm not saying that we shouldn't trust and let other people make decisions once in awhile over little things, but rather I'm drawing attention to the importance of 'driving your own car' in life. When we observe how we make choices, what's important (our value-system), respect ourselves and others in the process - then, we can make better choices and move in the direction of optimal opportunity towards the life we desire.
To that point, astrologically speaking, Mercury has gone retrograde today. This is a time where people review and take stock of their lives. So as you look at your life today, how's it going? Relationship - great, money - bad. Or is everything going well, but people think you're an egomaniac? Look at the choices you've made in the areas of your life that could use improvement. What have they been and how did they bring you to this point? What value-system are they based on, and how can you make better decisions next time? Make a different choice and go with it. It just may surprise you!
Spring has sprung and 'tis the season for renewal and transformation. Isn't it about time?
Take care of yourselves and each other,
Daydree
