Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
We are presented with new choices and opportunities every single day. These choices are life lessons that serve to help us strengthen our intuition and gain wisdom along the way. Our choices have a direct impact in the quality of our life. While it’s not good to beat yourself up for your mistakes, it is important to learn from that mistake so that life doesn’t keep sending you new opportunities for learning your lesson. Each and every choice you make brings with it consequences. Even the ones that you delay and never decide on. Not choosing is also a choice, and this is only going to postpone the lesson for now, but it will come back again in another way later. Allow the choices in your life to empower you and enlighten you. Move forward each and every day with the courage to trust yourself when you make any decisions. If you make a mistake, dust it off and keep walking. Whatever your choice may be, be brave enough to embrace the consequences, and wise enough not to blame life or your circumstances for things that don’t turn out as you hoped. Making a decision is, in many cases, almost thoughtless. For example, will I read Brian’s musing today or not? I would presume you put almost zero thought into that decision, it is a simple yes or no. That said, what if what I am talking about on a particular day is of extreme importance to you in your world under your circumstances? What if, by chance, something I chose to write about happens to be in the direct bullseye of something of extreme significance in your life? If, per chance, this revelation were so insightful as to cause you to rethink your position about something that is weighing heavily upon your soul, you might not be able to make the same choice you were going to make, prior to reading what I have said. I make the above statement with zero sense of self importance. In my life, I read all sorts of things. Most go in one ear and out the other, but every once in awhile, I find one that can make me feel like I was kicked in the stomach and have had all of the wind knocked out of me! Something so poignant, something of significant revelation as to force me to stop whatever I was doing in that area of my life and change direction. It is not common, but it does happen to me at least a few times per year. I have always appreciated the humorous aphorism: Sometimes it is appropriate to burn bridges, especially if there are hordes of zombies chasing you! But comedy not withstanding, sometimes we do opt to burn a bridge. In a choice like that, we are sometimes left on the opposite shore, staring backwards at a choice made that was not necessarily what we expected. The bridge has been burned, the option to return is removed, and we are left only with the new choices ahead of us. This happens in personal relationships, professional relationships and more. Choice is a miraculous thing. It is not always an option in life. If you look back through history, choice is something that has gone through countless evolutions. Freedoms being bestowed and stolen in myriad examples, and continuously evolving. But if one variable is consistent, human beings crave choice. It is inherent in our internal beings to opt for whatever it is that we desire. To most, a version of heaven is one in which you can do what you wish, be whom you wish, eat what you wish, and pursue every last desire of your choosing. All of these represent choice. But, here on Earth, choice is a core option. You can make a choice and pursue it with all you have got, and perhaps your choice will bear fruit, and other times, perhaps it will cause you to have setbacks. And in some extreme cases, perhaps it can cause danger or harm to you or those you love. I invite you then, on this beautiful Monday, to take a moment and reflect on the countless choices you have made that have led you to where you are now. Some of the consequences of your choices have been tremendously good, and others, not so much. You are living in a place and an era in which choice is readily available. So much so that you take it for granted. If this seems trivial to you, contemplate the choices that people had inside a concentration camp, or the options left to the women and children in Afghanistan right this very minute, and compare those choices to what you are considering today. Even the little ones like what will I make for dinner? Or what is on tv tonight? Choice is truly a miraculous thing. Something that must never be taken for granted. Something that carries so much value as to be almost the most important of the options in our world after our survival needs are taken into consideration. And, as a result, the consequences of those choices, must carry equal, if not greater value or importance because of the ramifications that those consequences bring. Make wise choices so that the consequences of those choices continue to elevate your existence in countless ways. Happy Monday! Please follow and like us:
Written by Brian Weiner When I was 5 years old, I discovered that the lemon tree in the backyard + dixie cups + water and sugar and I was in business. I have been hooked on that ever since. In 1979, I borrowed $14,000 to create a brand new product... photographic greeting cards with no text on the inside, called Paradise Photography. That was the start of The Illusion Factory. Since then, The Illusion Factory has been entrusted by all of the major studios and broadcasters with the advertising and marketing of over $7 billion in filmed, live, broadcast, gaming, AR, VR and regulated gaming forms of entertainment, generating more than $100 Billion in revenue and 265 awards for creativity and technology for our clients. When I took a break from film school at UCLA to move to Hawaii, my mother did not lecture me. Instead, she took 150 of her favorite aphorisms and in her beautiful calligraphy, wrote them artistically throughout a blank journal. That is the origin of the Lessons from the Mountain series. Since then, on my journeys to the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise, I have spent countless hours contemplating words of wisdom from the sages of all races, genders and political persuasions, constantly accumulating the thoughts to guide me on my life path. I hope you enjoy my books. Please let me know your thoughts, as I highly value your feedback!

While it's not good to beat yourself up for your mistakes, it is important to learn from that mistake so that life doesn't keep sending you new opportunities for learning your lesson.

Are we free to choose our actions?“We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.”
What is choices and consequences?What Are Choices and Consequences? According to Newton's third law, “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” That doesn't give you the complete picture, though, because inaction has consequences, too. Put simply, the choice is what you decide to do (or not do). The consequence is the result of that choice.
