Making choices about how to use our time is constant. Whether we are aware of it or not, we do it every minute. When we choose to move in a particular direction, we exercise a certain amount of control. Often a sense of relief follows a decision and action becomes easier. Indecision can cause lingering uncertainty and anxiety.
Freedom of choice requires some personal work.
It is necessary to find out what is personally rewarding and what you want to do with your time. Of course there are some limitations, but even within the limitations a broad range of options are available. Each person is free to look at the situation they are in and decide either to do something or not to do something. Risk is always involved in making a choice. Whatever your personal dream is, take a step toward making it happen.
