You Always Have A Choice

A mistake repeated more than once, is a decision.
Bad habits are a choice.
Staying in a toxic environment is a choice.
Staying in a relationship that doesn't value you is a choice.

It's a tough start - I know. Because it hits spot on the bruise. Ouch!

You're not getting up, because you're hurt. And you're sore. But harshly enough, that doesn’t change the reality it is, that remaining down, is a choice you make. You decide that you are not able  to get up, for the reason that you are hurt.
It is also a choice you make when you say; "I have no choice!" 

Yes, you always have a choice. It is very possible that the circumstances you have created for yourself do not contain the opportunity to choose what you want - because the choices you have made so far, have not yet risen that opportunity. Face the fact that your previous choices have not created the options you would like to have - and start making new choices.

Falling Is An Accident.

Staying Down Is A Choice.

Your Life Is A Result Of Your Choices

  • Your choices - Your Control

    Your life consists of your choices.
    And you choose how you relate and react to the circumstances your choices have brought to you.
    How you react and response to them, and what kind of energy you put into them, is a choice you make. It is within your control!

  • This is Your Reality

    Your reality is an interaction between you and the social circle you choose to be around, such as your family, friends, lovers, ex-lovers, your boss, colleagues, etc.
    An intertwining of theirs and your choices.
    You are in control of your reactions in this interaction - they are in control of theirs.

You might instinctively think, that you certainly have not chosen part of the named social circle, taking part in creating your reality.
But since you choose to be a part of it, it is in fact your own choice.  You can opt out and distance yourself. It is very possible that the consequence that comes with doing so, leaves you with the feeling of not having a choice. But you always have a choice.
You can always choose to step out.

When It Is Not Your Choice - Your Reaction Still Is.

You do not choose whether you become sick, but you do choose how you react to it. It is also a choice how not to react to it. You choose your own attitude to the circumstance - and to what extent, you decide to focus on it.
And when it has your focus, you also choose what energy you put into it.
"Dear body. I hate and despite you for making me feel this way."
Or
"Dear body. I love and respect you for fighting this for me. I am proud of you and I believe in you"

You also do not choose for yourself whether someone
- leaves you,
- fires you,
- manipulates you,
- shouts at you,
- remembers what is important to you,
- says good morning to you.

That is other people's choices.
Other people that you have made a choice to have in your life - and attach some kind of meaning to, since they can affect you. . 

On the other hand, you also choose how you react to the effect that other people’s choices, have on your life, your values, boundaries, wellbeing and mental health.
