Make Good Choices

American New Thought writer, teacher, and leader Ernest Holmes observed, “The universe can only give us what we take, and since our taking is a thing of consciousness, the universe can only give us what we are aware of.”

The quote suggests that what we experience in our lives is directly related to our level of consciousness and awareness. According to this quote, the universe constantly offers us various experiences, but we can only receive what we are conscious of and willing to accept.

For example, if we are unaware of the abundance and opportunities around us, we may not recognize them or take advantage of them. However, if we cultivate an abundance mindset and become more conscious of the opportunities around us, we are more likely to attract and manifest abundance.

In other words, our consciousness shapes our perception of reality, and what we focus on and believe in determines what we experience. Likewise, the universe responds to our consciousness and delivers experiences accordingly. Therefore, to experience more abundance, joy, love, and positivity in our lives, we must first become conscious of them and align our thoughts and actions accordingly.

I frequently remind students to get out of their heads. Staying in your head prevents you from participating in the boundless good happening all around you in your life. It locks you into experiencing your thoughts about life rather than life itself. You have trained yourself to behave a certain way. You can retrain yourself to focus on the good, to be peaceful, poised, and calm, and to perpetuate the goodness and love you are experiencing. Don’t hide your joy, bliss, harmony, wisdom, love, peace, and prosperity. Divide it! Please share it with everyone! The world needs you and your light.

Ernest Holmes also observed, “We are at liberty to choose what manner of life we shall live. We should feel that in this choice, we are backed by all the will, purpose, and all the law of the universe.”

He reminds us of the power of choice that each individual possesses in their life. According to Holmes, we have the freedom to decide how we want to live our lives, and we should feel confident in that choice, knowing that the universe supports us. The universe has your back!

In other words, Holmes suggests that the universe is not indifferent to our choices and desires but is aligned with our aspirations and intentions. The universe supports us in our pursuit of a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Furthermore, the quote implies that the universe operates according to laws that govern everything, including our lives. Therefore, when we make a choice, we should align it with these universal laws and principles to ensure that our actions are in harmony with the natural order of things.

We have the power to create the life we want to live, and the universe is on our side in this endeavor.

Make good choices!

And so it is.
