Inherent within freedom is a choice. Without choice, there is no freedom. Without any felt freedom, we are victims of our own choosing.
When you are feeling trapped, take time to look within yourself. Observe the situations and circumstances of your everyday life. Discover the choices you have been making leading to these circumstances. Imagine the beliefs that are guiding those types of choices. Look backward into the past and take responsibility for your choices that have created your present. Recognize that you have full freedom at this moment to begin to make different choices and to create different present moments; ones more to your liking, filled with quality and freedom.
See what choices are available to you right now. Look carefully, because choices, when you are not used to looking for them, can seem to be invisible. They appear not to exist, but in fact, they are there. Start with very simple and obvious choices. “What can I choose; what are my options? Could I choose this instead of that? What might happen if I chose that instead of this?” Then take responsibility for both your past and present choices. Visualize the future you desire, imagine the choices necessary to create that future, and take responsibility for beginning that process now. Stop being a victim.
