Benefit

Never turn down a job because you think it's too small; you don't know where it can lead - Julia Morgan.

How short is our vision of where an invitation might take us!  Any invitation.  Of one thing we can be certain, it offers an opportunity for making a choice, which means taking responsibility for who we're becoming.  Choice-making is growth-enhancing because it strengthens our awareness of personal power.

Our lives unfold in small measures, just as small as they need to be for our personal comfort.  It's doubtful that we would handle everything the future has in store, today; however, we will be prepared for it, measure by measure, choice by choice, day by day.  We need not fear; what is meted out to us in the invitations offered for our benefit.  We are on a pathway to betterment.

The thrill of making choices.  When we've opted for a life that's passive, all too often, we become increasingly aware of, and often depressed by, our self-imposed powerlessness.  Free at last!  We are free at last to fully participate in our lives.

I will be grateful for the many options to act tugging at me today.  Every choice I make strengthens me.
