What would ROCK do?

Your life is made up of the choices you make.

Take a rock as an example.  A rock can be used as a foundation for a building that safeguards families and provide shelter to it’s inhabitants.

A rock can also be used a a weapon to harm or kill another person.  It can be used to destroy property such as a car or house window.

Regardless, a rock is a rock.  It is an inanimate object unto itself.  It can neither move nor decide for itself what it becomes.  Only a human can make that decision.  What you decide becomes of the rock, it becomes.

Same is true of your life.  Here are some examples:

Teens can choose to study or not study.  Their grades will be what they will be and their college or future will be determined as such.  The college entrance/completion doesn’t matter, it is the ethic that does.  Does such child develop a positive work ethic that carries through life, or a negative work ethic that carries through life.

Father pressures child to study and do homework.  Child rebels.  Father must decide to continue pressuring child furthering the madness or back off and allow child to make own decisions.  This decision concerns father’s trust in life and decision will be determined by his own fear or trust in child to make good decisions for themselves.  As parents we must know when to let go and give them their own responsibility.

An adult can opt to take a drink or not take a drink.  Taking a drink may lead to sickness we call alcoholism.  Not taking a drink will certainly lead away from such a sickness.  Alcohol does not necessarily lead one to the sickness.  Repeatedly making such decision will most certainly.  Such a person needs help, not in ceasing to drink, but in recognizing their trigger to make a decision that affects their outcome.  All addiction is the same.

What we choose determines our path.  We are faced with multiple decisions every day, many o which go unnoticed as we are unaware.  Awareness is key.  To make better choices, become more aware.

Your life is made up of the choices you make.  Our choices are determined by our awareness.  Therefore our life is made up of our awareness.
