The Essential of the Choice

 

How many choices do we make everyday? Can you guess? …. Some may say hundreds of thousand of choices; some may say only two choices – Yes or No. Well, all of those are great answers…

I made a choice to ask this question to you, and you made a choice to answer this question. I just took a bite of my breakfast this morning... it was a choice. I went to the toastmaster club, standing on the stage in front of you...still, choice;….

So Each and Every step is a choice.

Seems that, life is full of choices, and if we can master the essential of the choice, then, we can master our lives.

 

What do you value most?

The value sort tool…. The thing you value most is the thing that you cherish most and you want to devote yourself to it in your entire life. This is an easy question, however, very difficult to answer, since self-awareness is a life long project and we need to keep on asking ourselves all the time. And this question will also lead to another question:

What is the final goal of your life.

Let’s spend one minute, try to figure it out. Now…Close your eyes, try to memorize the most beautiful moment in your life? The time that once you have experienced and you won’t feel regretted even later you would die…. Is it the time with your parents? Is it the time with your lovers? Or is it the time you get self-achievement, standing on the top of your career ladder? The picture in your mind now, is the thing that you cherish most and thus, the goal of your life. So, holding this picture in your mind, and your value system…let’s come to the second question.

 

Do you live on your value?

Answering this question will help you to make lots of choices better, like choosing your career, arranging your time schedule, etc. etc.  Take me as an example, using the tool shared by Raf regarding value sorting, I found that, I value Knowledge and Helping others very much. Knowledge means I want to gain knowledge from experiences or learning; and Helping others means that I want to get involved in the activity of helping others, individually or in a group. So, I become a HR person. And I am satisfied with my work. Since as an HR, I can learn from the daily interaction from different kinds of people and from the different projects I do. In addition, I can also help them through the....

 

You still have choice. Remember Kien shared with us in last meeting regarding choice – “When you decided not to make a choice, you’ve already made a choice. When you say that I don't have the choice, you've already given up your choice”. So…You still have the choice.

Complain you don’t have chances to choose the work you like? Complain the limited time you have with your parents due to the happvy workload...

 

I choose the hole on my heart is because I choose the hole on my heart.

 

Whatever life will be, you have a choice...No matter how bad it is, you can still choose a better one…
