Which Story Will You Choose?

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is burning deep inside of you? If you could spread your personal message RIGHT NOW to 1 million people, what would you say? (Eric Handler)

Human misery is often a choice.  No doubt there are many situations of suffering that happen as a result of the acts of nature, miscalculation of other people, or intentional abuse or aggression that are not of one's choosing.  Most everyone in the world has been or is a victim.  A first choice I have about that situation is the story I tell myself regarding the situation.  My identity can be defined by the victim story or the wholeness that resides in me.  The wholeness has the energy and genius to help alleviate or manage that terrible situation.  Human misery often separates us from others which empowers the misery is often a choice as to whether to seek connection or not.  Each human, when physically and mentally capable, can choose their story and their connections.  The message in the simplest form, "each of us is whole and worthy of our desires which respects the wholeness and worthiness of all creation."
