We are the choices we make day in and day out. Every day we have numerous choices to make, decisions to take. And every time there are two ways to make those choices.

One which shows us our fears and challenges us. This path is strewn with our resistance but eventually leads to our growth transcending our fears and becoming more of who we are. Facing our fears is the only way out.

Another one, is our way to escape, being in denial. We choose to look away from our fears and make choices in denial creating layers of guilt and non-acceptance of those choices and also, of self. Little do we realize that this is a longer way. No matter how much we run away from ourselves, we eventually have to come back, to face those fears one day. Hence the repetition of events and circumstances in our lives. And we feel stuck and ask ‘why me’, unable to see the consequences as a direct result of our choices.

So, it’s all in this moment. Choosing growth or choosing being stuck. Facing self or denying self.
