111 Power of Choice Quotes to Inspire you into Action

 

Life is a series of continuous choices we make every day, so the power of choice is not something to take lightly. 

See it as your super-power, because it really can (and is!) making/creating your life, moment by moment. 
 
We are always in the momentum of something, and what that something is, that’s where our choice lies.
 
You get to choose what momentum you want to be in. 

What do you want? 

You have the power of Choice to decide where you want to go from here (and then start walking that path and create a new momentum).
 
It’s all in your hands.
 
You can either stay where you are (and remain stuck and stagnant), wish that things would go back to how they were (and stay stuck in the past), or step up and show up for yourself by making a New Choice that propels you forward in life. 

In every moment of life you have a choice.

You have the choice to become the best version of yourself that you can become and by being the best version of yourself you are able to serve others with your gifts and greatness and continuously rise higher and higher in life. 

It’s a CHOICE. Make it, and see your life transform before your eyes.

What choice are you going to make today that could alter the course of your life forever in positive ways?

It’s all in your hands, no one can do it for you but you, and you probably already know what it is about. 

How has life been calling you to change? 

When you make a conscious choice about something in your life you release energy into the universe and your entire life experience can shift for the better.

All that is required is that you Choose that which brings you Aliveness or makes you come Alive (even if it’s scary!). 

Consider making a choice about something and ask yourself these questions:

1. “What would happen if I didn’t go through with this? How would my life look 6 months from now, a year from now, three years from now? If I didn’t do this?”

And then after you have answered those questions, write down your answers on these questions as well:

2. “If I did this, how would my life change? How would my life look in 6 months from now, a year from now..? How would my life change, if I did this?”

Take your time to write everything down that comes to mind and then feel your way (intuitively/gut feeling) to what the best next step for you would look like (and then take the step).

Only fear can ever hold us back. Will you allow it, that’s the question.

Will you allow fear and timidity rule your choices and actions? I hope not. 

Choose to live a rich, full life, and that is what you will get, but you have to make a conscious choice about it and say “This is what I want, and from now on, I’m going to be all in!”.

  1. Carolyn

    Maria,
    Thank you so much for this powerful article. It’s a calling for me to boldly step into/get in sync with life. All of the quotes are great. I think my favorite was #53 by Nelson Mandela. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement! Time to go put my super power to work!
    Carolyn

  2. Yes! That’s awesome Carolyn! 😊 I’m very happy for you.

    Life truly is in the flow of Life – all else is a bleak existence and so many people live below what they could have and be.

    If they just dared to step outside of their comfort zone their lives would explode (in positive ways!), or open up, in ways that they can’t even imagine.

    Many people have said it before me, but life truly is outside of your comfort zone.

    There will always be choices to be made, and the more decisive (and trusting) we are, the more we get to experience the fullness and richness of life.

    And the more indecisive (and timid/fearful) a person is, the more passive, stagnant and dull life they have.

    As long as there’s timidness, there’s a disconnect, or an ‘out-of-alignment’ with the flow, but the flow is always there, it’s just a matter of CHOICE to align with it.

    It’s about choosing Life instead of merely existing.

  3. Resa

    Thank you so much!!! I’ll follow this up with “Know What you want and Why you want it, and the Universe shows you how”. Exactly what I need RIGHT NOW!

  4. That’s awesome Resa! 😊 Glad the message found you when you needed it.

    And it was also exactly what the Universe needed from you as well (Clarity and Choice) so now you’ll be shown what to do next.

    Plus, things, people, resources etc. will begin to flow into your life too, so expect the unexpected! 😊

  5. Resa

    Exactly what you stated!
    “things, people, resources etc. will begin to flow into your life too, so expect the unexpected! 😊”

    Honestly,you send emails and articles at just the right times. Even the comment to this article today is very intuitive of you 😊.

    You have been a big inspiration and guide throughout all my challenges so that I can see them in a much clearer light.

    My life is not the same, and I constantly read “How to Survive the Spiritual Path Without a Job” parts 1 and 2.

    The email you sent about using the imagination positively was a great help, I read that one a lot too. It came in the most opportune time!

    Thank you so much.

    Thank you 😊

  6. You’re so very welcome Resa and thank you for your kind words. 😊 I’m glad to hear that what I share has been helpful to you.

    I’m also glad to hear things are going well and that life is unfolding beautifully for you, may it continue with even more awesomeness. 😊
