The First Choice!

Often we allow Life to make our first choice of the day for us! It happens one day, then the next, then the next and then . . . well it becomes habitual!

It’s almost like we get up in the morning and allow life to give us instructions like this: “OK, Mark! Stand right there . . . no, to the left two steps. Yes! That’s better. Now up one . . . no, back two! There that’s it! Now, smile!” Next thing you know Life backs over us with an eighteen wheeler! Why? All because we allowed Life to make the first choice of the day for us!

The late Stephen Covey put it this way: “The first choice we make each and every day is, “Will we act upon life, or will we merely be acted upon?”

I don’t know about you, but I get a little tired of being backed over! How bout it? Shall we make our first decision today to “Act upon Life?” Let’s do it!

Peace!

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1994 and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor since 2011. I received my BA in Sociology and Psychology from Hardin-Simmons University and my Master’s in Counseling from the University of North Texas.

I specialize in the field of loss/grief and have written, trained, and presented workshops on loss/grief since 1990. Helping clients learn to work toward reconciliation and integration of life losses is the basis of my work in this area.

My wife and I are both therapists and often work together with couples in our practice. We find that couples respond well to our co-therapist approach.
