We all face the power of choice each day in our lives. Both small choices and on occasions life changing ones. With each choice we encounter a major cross road.
How will we make the best choice? Will we choose the high road or the low road? Will we take the high road less traveled or the low road trodden by most people? Each choice adds up, determining the quality of our lives. At the end of our days, will we have experienced a life well lived or one filled with regrets?
How Do You Use Your Power of Choice? Let’s examine 4 areas affected by your choices.

This part of your psyche controls your vehicle of life. You careen out of control. You bounce back and forth from one emotional situation to another.
