Free will
When you where born, it was all laid out for you.
You can choose to smoke cigarettes, you can choose to jog. You can choose to drink and gamble or you can choose to work until you drop, the choice is in your hands.
Every time you entertain a type of thought, you are creating a reality where the vibe or essence of that thought becomes stronger.
Every time you start drooling at the thought of a pink frosted sprinkle donut you are given a choice, live in a world where things you dont want such as the donut have power over you, or brush it aside and buy a healthy juice or a piece of fruit instead.
All of your choices will be built around what you deem as a good decision or a bad decision. Harmony, peace, love, compassion, abundance, justice, order are all things to be striving for. Cacophony, chaos, injustice, tension, fear and ill intent are all things to avoid.
Every individual has there own moral compass which they use to navigate the world yet it often skitzes out and points in the wrong direction.
What you value most is where your compass will point too. If you desire power over everything, you will push and shove your way to your destination. If you aim only for peace, you will aim your thoughts and actions towards this word.
Words, even basic ones can have a very strong effect on the psyche and your state of mind. ~ Speak with Kindness: How Your Words Literally Restructure Your Brain
