Choose Your Chains

Choose your chains. Life is really just a series of choices. - It’s interesting how something can start as a choice, then after repeatedly choosing to do it turns to a habit, then after time becomes automatic. And it goes both ways. - I find it fascinating that most bad addictions are not presented to us as they are. If we were told “you want to have cancer, here’s a cigarette”, I think most people would probably turn it down. But that’s not how it works. It’s presented as a choice. - The same goes for good habits. You have to choose to be dangerous in the details otherwise you get caught slacking in all areas of life. A simple choice not to eat breakfast and intermittent fast seems small and insignificant but for me it makes a world of difference not only physically but also mentally and internally. - Your choices are your chains. The hold you back. Either from something bad or from something good that you want in your life. You have to wear them, but the good thing is, you can change your chains. You can swap out bad choices for good ones and slowly swap your chains. - Most people think making good choices and beating an addiction gives you freedom, but in reality you just have to choose a different chain. One that won’t let you go the other way and keeps you on the right path. It doesn’t give you freedom to do whatever you want because that’s how you got there in the first place. Choose your chains. Your choices become habits and your habits become automatic. Choose wisely. - Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙
