Choice

After reviewing the book Compassionate Samurai by Brian Klemmer, I felt the need to post his excerpt on choice. It seems that most in our nation are choosing to not choose. It seems as most are seemingly spiraling out of control to each whim and whirl of the next entertaining episode or media craze of the day.

I truly wish for all to find true joy in their ability to choose their outcomes over time as they choose to serve as the samurai did.

When we choose to not follow a crowd and decide to stand firm on principles, we indirectly influence the choice of others. A friend and colleague Chris Brady references the ability of a person to become the example of a more straightened line to influence others by showing them the line that you keep as a standard.

We have a life to live, possibly a family to take care of, obligations, fears, and dreams. At some point, a choice is to be made. That choice will be to live on purpose or to keep going through the motions as the speeding hour glass of our life counts every moment. The sand in our hourglass often seems to creep through our narrowed perspective often unnoticed.

So now is the call, now is the notice, and now is the time. Its time to bring our choices to the forefront and acknowledge them for what they are. They are the very fabric on which we weave a life of significance and influence with.

Your victory is near if you will only chose it. Jesus Christ came to provide us with the choice to trade our best for the grace of a God that places into us the the love of a father and the life of a sacrificed savior.

We hope you will take the journey with us. ~Telling the Story~ Some time ago, a friend of mine and his wife visited a major Maui tourist attraction called The Road to Hana. It comprised a long and winding road that, over the course of hours, took them through breathtaking scenery, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, and beaches. At the end, there was nothing but the small town of Hana, with one gas station. When they finally arrived, my friend’s wife was very upset. She said, “We drove all of this way for this?” She missed the point. The Road to Hana is about the journey, not the destination. Don’t make the same mistake with The EOS Process.
