Choices

Welcome to the Jenni Carroll Perspective. Today’s episode focuses on the meaning and significance of choices. Decision-making serves a consistent, challenging role in our lives.  So much so that it seems to encapsulate the very reason we are here. If life is a school, then choices, both big and small, are our tests.

Tests aren’t supposed to be easy, and the choices we are tasked with on a daily basis are definitely meant to challenge us. Thankfully, there is usually room for error in our everyday decisions, but it is important to notice how patterns of decision-making create a backdrop to our lives. Do seemingly trivial, mundane decisions honor our value and support us in fulfilling our purpose, or do we approach daily decisions with carelessness or a lack of interest in our greater well-being?

Interestingly, even in small and arguably healthy decisions, there is always a trade-off. It is at this exact point, where we are systematically pushed to create the life we want to live. The impact lies in the patterns of our decisions. Specifically, it is the beliefs we hold that create the thoughts that influence our decisions, that matter.

Busy with all of our everyday choices, we are occasionally faced with decisions of a different magnitude. These decisions involve situations where a single choice can deeply alter our life’s path...a job or career change, having children (or not), or the beginning or ending of a relationship. How we manage these types of decisions is yet another level to our purpose, another type of test.

In order to support ourselves in making decisions that are aligned with our best interest and greatest purpose, we must look at how we make decisions. Thoughts and feelings are both important and necessary elements to the process. But, both are also inherently flawed and limited in their reliability. We can and should utilize our thoughts and feelings, but we also need to be mindful of the automatic trust we often have in our thinking mind.

Here is where foundational principles serve us again. When we look to our Intrinsic Worth and the inherent value within, our choices naturally become aligned with our best interest, greatest potential and greatest good. 

And when we tap into our Primary Awareness, the internal wisdom within each of us, we are consistently and concretely supported in finding the necessary clarity to face our tests and successfully make all of our choices with wisdom, confidence and love.
