Only Options

"If your life and your destiny are full of exams with only options to choose from, what will you do when the questions get more difficult to answer?" -KayLa N. Allen, MPH, PGCEpid

As you learn more and more about yourself, you find that there is so much that makes up who you are. You also come to realize that even when you aim to do something there may not be a clear vision. During these times of life analysis, it is vital that we understand that there are options in being, behaving, evolving, and acting.

When you take a multiple-choice exam, sometimes it is necessary to read a question two or three times in order to have a thorough understanding. What if we all took the time to understand ourselves and what is necessary for success in the same way that we process an exam? On the same token, why is it that we often lack the will to understand the value of options, time, strategies, and the freedom to be whoever we aim to be?

If your life and your destiny are full of exams with only options to choose from, what will you do when the questions get more difficult to answer?

The answer to all of these questions starts with an internal reflection of yourself and a heavy dose of what makes you strong and willing to evolve. When you have options, you can acknowledge that there may be several “right” and “wrong” answers. However, can you also acknowledge that no matter the route that is chosen, there will be lessons learned and even more opportunities to come?

If we are curious enough and wise enough to take what we learn and effectively apply it to our lives, we may value our options in a different light.

Try this out for size:

What do you want to have in your life?

(A) Enough to get by

(B) Whatever those around me have

(C) More than my parents had

(D) Abundance and joy

All of these are likely answers and surely vary from person to person. Knowing that there is no right or wrong answer, which one did you choose? What made you choose that answer? If life can give you everything that you can imagine when you are willing to make sacrifices and fight for what you want, why wouldn’t you choose to have everything that you ever dreamed of for yourself and your family? Right?

Life is a series of choices, options, roadblocks, opportunities, and lessons to be learned. No matter which part of the series you arrive at, it is essential that you evaluate the options and make the most of the moment.

One of the most difficult choices that I ever had to make was in choosing which Master’s degree and program I wanted to pursue. I fought myself, asked others, evaluated countless options, and found a place and program after months of research. Now, if I did not take the time to chase what my heart really wanted and what my mind could surely accomplish I would not be where I am. Within you, what would be different if you did not make good decisions and fully weigh your options?

We all need a little redirection from time to time, and you must take that into account if you are aiming to transform your life. If this speaks to you and you are in a period of time where you are ready to get equipped to start making positive and sustainable changes, level up with Dr. KayLa by visiting: DRKAYLANALLEN.COM and connecting with her about one of her listed services.
