Think about it. We make many things. We make meals, we make a commute to work. We make an argument with someone. We make love. But at the beginning of each of these, before we take any action, we make a choice. We choose to act in a certain way. We choose to perceive our lover a certain way. We choose to feel. We choose to move. And the action is then almost automatic. Choices are the only thing we make. Choices determine our mindset, and our circumstances. But we don\u2019t often give them as much importance as we should. What choices have you made recently? How did that craft your current reality? To create is to make choices. To manifest is to make choices. We choose to create. We choose to act. We choose to spin in fear, or we choose to say, \u201cStop.\u201d Choose to question. We choose to emerge from fear and move. We choose to reach out and connect. From the choices the action happens almost on its own. We choose within the human consciousness or subconscious or god consciousness, and the body moves to take action (or lack there of) to make it happen. We don\u2019t make the peace of art as much as we make the choice to create art, and then we allow it to happen. Through choices, we learn and come to understand ourselves. There is no right and wrong choice. Only outcomes that you enjoy or that bring you pain. You learn either way.\u00a0What choices will you make today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
