We Have A Choice In Our Actions

Many years ago, I watched an episode from the Twilight Zone. In that episode, there was a tragic event going to happen to the world. The world was in emergency mode. People were racing around in a state of panic, looking for cover as the world was coming to an end.

Through some mysterious power, the main character was able to place the world on “pause.” He walked through his home, viewing frozen figurines of his family who had facial expressions reflecting fear and horror. He roamed the nearby streets, viewing similar scenes.

It became evident that the world could not remain on pause forever, and he knew he had the power to set the world back in motion. This choice was overwhelming to him. The episode ended as the character was about to restart the pocket watch of time to unpause the world.

Why do I share this story? We, too, have the power to make powerful choices that will have lasting effects on those around us. Because of the weightiness of some decisions, it would behoove us to pause in our lives to consider the results of our choices.

The greatest asset we possess is our mind. The greatest blessing we have is a caring heart. The greatest gift we receive is our inner voice of light.

When we press “pause” in times of stress and chaos to consider the results of our choices, we are more likely to combine our minds, hearts, and the light within us to make solid and effective decisions - decisions that will last a lifetime.

We do have a choice in our actions.
