727 thoughts on “It Is My Choice”

1. Before we make a choice we have to feel what energy we are aligned to.

2. Whilst reading this and the continued use of ‘my choice’, I realised the depth of responsibility and integrity you hold in everything you do. This brings to my understanding that it is a personal relationship to life and that everything matters, every single choice matters.

   I totally agree with you, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine simply presents that there is another way to live, and that choice is yours as to what you do with it afterwards. He loves you no less, he knows that we are not what we present ourselves to be in the face of humanity. We are much more then that…

3. In some ways we may not like to feel the truth of how powerful we are in each choice, as blame or being a victim is also a choice we can use to stagnate or stay in confusion and give our power away to an outer source. It’s so important to understand consciously the power we have to choose in each moment, to either align to our soul and it’s loving quality or not. Thanks Joost, simply expressed but essentially this is our moment by moment every day, and it’s all up to us. One of the beautiful things about inspiration is we can reflect to each other that our daily choices can be different, especially important if we have forgotten the beauty that is on offer from our soul.

   1. I agree, that choice is for everyone. If a person chooses to live another way and continues to blame or remain a victim, we can only continue to remain in the choices we make and reflect, that there is another way. Let the magnitude of this do its magic in its own time…

4. It was my choice to read this blog again, and, I so appreciate reading it this morning, reminding me of all the choices I continually make throughout my day.

5. To choose or not to choose is a great question but to choose or not to choose a certain quality of the way we do things is a deeper revelation that Joost is offering in this blog.

6. Choices do abound all around us. We may feel that we have to go to work and that that may not be a choice as such, but we can choose how we go to work and in what way we prepare ourselves. And this choice is one of quality which is really all that matters in life.

   1. We are constantly making choices, what are you choosing…’It is my choice to get out of bed. It is my choice what clothes I wear that morning. It is my choice to eat what I do for breakfast. It is my choice to carefully close the door behind me as I leave the house.’

7. Joost, it is my choice to say how much I love this blog. We have choices to make no matter where we are and not matter where we go. This is empowering.

   1. I love this blog too, and how it reminds us that we make choices in every nano second, and that is so empowering.

8. Appreciating the energy we choose to connect to is our only True-choice once we have chosen we can live in True-appreciation of our divinity and the ensuing energy that flows through us or in the illusionary way where we think we are making a choice based on our mind and not what our bodies are sharing. When we understand how our bodies communy-care (communicate in a loving way) it leaves no doubt in our mind what we can do in a different energy, and thus appreciate the energy we are choosing to be in and leaving others to have the same free choice.

   1. What energy are we aligning to is the key choice that then affects everything else.

9. It is through the presentations of Universal Medicine by Serge Benhayon I have come to understand that to have true choice is understand that everything is because of energy and thereby to choose which energy one aligns to.

   1. Every moment is a moment to choose to be who we are in essence and live that in full to the best of our ability.

      1. What a great choice that is, to live and express our fullness in every single moment.

10. Reading this has really brought me to my stillness, to feeling the beauty that each moment potentially holds from my being totally responsible for it. No one has any say in it, it’s up to me.

11. Regardless of our behaviour, we have a choice.It may not feel like it at times because of circumstances, but in the grand scheme of things, if we take a big picture perspective we will see that somewhere down the tunnel, somewhere there’s a light & we have the opportunity to choose to see that light.

12. It is a beautiful testimonial, very empowering because every choice that we make is ours. Even in the most extreme situations we still have a choice – take a bullet or stand for truth? Let gossip crumble you down, or shine your light despite the poison of jealousy shooting your way?

13. Beautiful Joost. It feels very empowering reading this article, knowing that every moment we have a choice.

14. Joost this is such a lovely way of showing the impact of our choices, the way we drive and how this effects others, the way we leave our home and how this has an impact on anyone left at home. Life is a series of choices and it is these choices that determine the quality of lifes experience we have.

15. We all know we have the ability to choose what flavour of ice-cream we desire, so how come it’s any different in other areas of our life?

16. It is my choice to live my fire or hold it back – any second of the day.

    1. Danna I love how we are all playing with the word choice and realising how powerful it can be.

17. I love how you break down how many choices we make – even in one hour we make hundreds – it really removes the possibility to ever blame another human being for something that has occurred in our life – after all our choices led us to that point.

    1. Everything is a potential study into how our choices (or movements) bring about certain outcomes for ourselves and others, and some of those choices may be very old indeed. As uncomfortable as it can be, understanding this is the only way to bring about true change and healing and to establish a loving way in life. It’s better to squirm in the responsibility presented than stay stuck and repeating the same loveless patterns.

18. “It is my choice to let myself be inspired.” Being inspired by Serge Benhayon is to meet whatever is offered with an openness and willingness to be and live who you are.

    1. Absolutely Mary, a life is enriched by the choices we make.

19. It is a great reminder that everything in life is a choice, nothing is not a choice so when we feel yuck it is because of our choices but also when we feel great it is. It is important to identify the choices that make us feel yuck and which make us feel great.

    1. Very true, Lieke, and by doing so one can make choices that lead to feeling yuck less and less frequently and instead increasingly more consistently great.

20. We have a choice in everything and our life is a reflection of our choices, if we ever want to change our life then we have to change the choices we make.

    1. Change our choices, and change our movements.

21. Accepting that where we are at in our lives is a direct result of our choices is a great step towards our own path of true healing.

    1. I agree Sandra, and our choices are a great clue to what relationship we have with ourselves and others. Everything is revealed in our choices be they good, bad or ugly.

22. You could say we are each and every one of us on this planet the living proof of the choices we have made and continue to make. The world is the way it is today because of the choices we have made as a collective and continue to make. We could say the buck stop here there is no one else to blame but ourselves for the mess we are in and boy oh boy are we all in a mess.

23. We have been making choices all our lives, and we are living the results of our choices

    1. That is so true and so it is not surprising if we don’t like the result of our choices because we know they are all of our own making.

24. It is so obvious from what you have so beautifully written, Joost, that in every single moment of every single day we have a choice. It blows away what so many have shared with me over the years and that is they didn’t have a choice in a certain situation. But as you know and I know we always have a choice, we just mightn’t like the choice, that inside of us, we know it’s time to make.

25. We like to forget that it is all of our own choices that have got us to where we are today.

26. My choices are a natural outcrop and consequence of how I move. If I move one way, certain choices are obvious. If I move another way, completely different choices are obvious.

27. When we know we do have a choice in all that we do, are, connect to, breath, walk, etc. it is no longer surviving or existing but it is living a life that is full of who we are and an inspiration to others.

28. Yes, most definitely the greatest possible thanks to Serge Benhayon for the choices he has made that has led him to be the inspiration for so many, showing there are different choices that can be made other than those generally presented by society.

29. Every moment, we are given an opportunity to breathe differently. We forget that life is a sequence of choices and their consequences. There’s no one to blame. Each choice leads to what is next.

30. Our choices can help us to evolve or to avoid evolution. Our choices can help us to have a joyous life or one of misery. We make choices all the time to the extent that we stop realizing that we are choosing. That is why it is hard for many to link choices and consequences. Yet, in spite of this, our choices make a difference: a good or a bad one.

31. On meeting Serge Benhayon for the first time I realised I was finally been offered another way to live, one I had been searching for, for what seemed like forever. I could instantly feel the truth of this new way so I had a choice to make; keep living in the same way I had for all of my life, making the same choices I had always made, or start to make new and more loving choices. With the truth shining within me it wasn’t a hard choice to make; I chose love.

    1. Yes, I totally agree with you, Ingrid, for it was the same for me and it is without a doubt the greatest and best choice I have ever made.

32. I have not come across anyone like Serge Benhayon and I have searched a long time to find the answers to life. I have always admired people who are intelligent but I now know that this intelligence is regurgitated from books that someone else has written and not necessarily with the truth at the forefront. Serge Benhayon however speaks not from reading books and then putting his interpretation on it, but from his heart and it is from there that he can access the knowledge of the universe which is to be shared with everyone as it belongs to all of us. Serge Benhayon is teaching us all the lost arts of the ancient wisdom which make so much sense I have to wonder why we allowed this way of life be destroyed and to vanish from our lives because it feels to me that if we had cherished and valued this way to live in harmony with ourselves and others then our society would be living completely differently today.

33. I live in the appreciation that I also now see that everything is a choice (even though we like to convince ourselves that we don’t have a choice). The greatest choice of all is the quality in which I live my day. Is it focussed on trying to please everyone around me or is it working with what I feel within me? My body guides me constantly through feeling open or tense, to show the quality I am living. This was never a choice I consciously knew before meeting Serge Benhayon.

    1. I so agree Fiona, that ‘the greatest choice of all is the quality in which I live my day”. To know that every morning when I wake up I have a choice to leap out of bed without thinking or to very gently get out, being conscious of how I am moving, can make the difference between a day that flows with ease or a day that seems to be very challenging. One seemingly small choice with very far reaching effects, effects that will impact on all the other choices I might make during the day

34. The multitude of choices we get to make every single day, and moment for that matter and yet, often we say ‘I have no choice in this matter’.

    1. Yes, often because we missed the moment when we had a genuine choice or ignored that moment.

35. Our choices have the potential to impact on others in a loving or harming way.

36. The more aware we become that all our choices affect others, the more aware we become of our responsibility to make wise choices that inspire others to do the same.

37. Isn’t it so re-empowering to know that in every moment we have a choice; our choice? No more feeling the victim but claiming that our life is ours and no one else’s. And with that comes being responsible for every single one of our choices.

38. So many choices to make every day, that are so simple if we align to love through what our body communicates. I always remind coach clients that say they can’t make choices they make so many during the day from what they eat to what they wear and what time they go to bed. Great to be aware that there is always a choice and that it starts with the energy we align to.

39. Wow what a huge responsibility we have every moment, knowing that the life we now have and have lived has been by our own choice.

40. “It is my choice to let myself be inspired.” Serge Benhayon is an inspiration to make every movement with the awareness of who I am.

41. Giving permission to being our fullness is a very first step, by accepting that we are already everything, that is enough.

42. Everything we do is our choice. Yet, we do not realize it is because we do not pay attention. The consequence of this is that lack of appreciation that follows regarding how you move in life. Why do we not pay attention? Because by and large, we do not like how we move and because we are not willing to relate this to the fact that things are not easy, so we can find our way out of responsibility via blaming.

43. In every moment we have a choice – this is a responsibility but not a burden if we embrace it.

44. A great testament to the fact that the direction of our lives comes in the momentum from the choices we make moment to moment.

45. It is my choice to be aware of everything in my life, every tiny detail as you show in this blog, even to choosing to bring appreciation or inspiration into my life, ‘It is my choice to let myself be inspired’, or ‘ It is my choice to appreciate the amazing, beautiful example of living life the way Serge Benhayon lives his life.’ Everything is my choice.

46. ” It Is My Choice ” this is very true and important to understand. It is also the same when a person does not make a choice then that is also a choice. It is always our free will choice to live our life to the full or not.

47. The acceptance of the indisputable fact, as you have so clearly demonstrated, that the quality of our life is the result of every choice we have ever made, totally dismantles the blame game that so many love to play. I used to be a big player as blaming others meant that I didn’t have to look at my part in what was playing out. Owning that now is a big ouch, but understanding about the power of choice has brought me to a place where I now take responsibility for my choices; after all I made them, no one else did.

48. The beauty of bringing true healing to our body and our life – being aware of the minutest details that we can choose to do things in a quality that supports our expansion back to that which we all know in truth.

49. It is very empowering to be aware that we are fully responsible for our life and have choices.

50. We can choose how we move in every second, and from this we then have new choices to make, each choice we make leads to another choice, they are all connected.

51. This is a super-powerful testimonial about Universal Medicine. It’s a choice we are absolutely free to make.

52. We are constantly given opportunities to move differently and be more in rhythm for what is true to our bodies or move with what is not. Often we choose the latter at the expense of the truth, but the more we shift and feel the difference between these movements, the more we are able to be consistent in the choice to stay with what is true.

53. We can never underestimate the power of choice, and how our every choice effects the all.

54. The choices we make now in this moment can and do effect us immediately, and further on in our lives.

55. Everyday we are presented with numerous choices and your blog Joost reminds us that we are responsible for every single one of them, leaving us with no excuses or room for blame when things don’t go as we’ve expected.

56. I could be wrong here but I think you are saying that its your choice how you live your life? 🙂

    An important message that can put a halt to the relentless blame game that can keep us from building a honest relationship with ourselves.

57. “It is my choice…….” I so agree Joost. When we take responsibility for ourselves and our lives we realise it is our choice that affects what happens in our lives and how others respond to us too.

58. This writing is so important in acknowledging the law of free will. Choice comes from this fact of the law ” free will ” every choice is truly one’s to make and not alone that but one’s previous choice does not precipitate the next choice , its a constant free will of choice.

59. Great blog Joost, yes it is indeed our choice to engage in life, love and relationships, work and everything else that is on offer. We can’t blame anyone else for what is unfolding, but ourselves as we are the ones who make those choices.

60. This just highlights how much power we have to choose in every moment how we want to be and experience life. I loved this blog Joost.

61. It is very empowering when we realise we are making choices constantly and it reads we have responsibility. I have felt in life I had no choice but … and also when I am in reaction to something, I am taken over by the emotion, or a certain behaviour and it feels like there is no other way – then again, it is because of the choices I have made previous to that point, and when I stop blaming others and situations, there always is a choice to be made.

62. Every choice we make barre none is ours.

63. Thanks for the reminder Joost that every moment of the day we are making choices that affect not only us and our bodies, but everyone else around us as well.

64. The quality we carry with each choice determines the quality of our next choices.

65. It is our choice in any given moment whether to align to our spirit or our Soul. Thereafter our seeming ‘choices’ are chosen on our behalf by the source of energy we have chosen to align to. That is, after the initial choice is made, the subsequent ‘choices’ are just the outplay of the energy we have allowed to express though our body until such a time that we make another choice as to the source of the energy we allow to impulse us.

66. Such a beautiful simple lesson Joost but it holds the key to a loving purposeful life; it is my choice, always my choice and we are the sum of our choices.

67. Thank you, Joost – it is all of our choice. The more we see that – the more power we give to ourselves. The greater is our change, if things do not work.

68. It was a great choice to read this blog this morning Joost thank you. It is so very empowering to note that in every movement we make in our lives we have the choice to choose what feels supportive and right for us in that moment and to note that no choice is a mistake simply a movement that can attested to how we live and that is simply gorgeous.

69. We do have choices that we are making continually, which come from a quality of energy that we have aligned to through our body – our movements set us up for the quality of choices that we make – learning this from Serge Benhayon made such sense to me and is something that I am learning to develop more in my life – for example if I find myself wanting to eat something I know that I don’t really need I bring myself back to the quality in the way I am moving with my body to re-imprint the energy that I’m flowing with and this then changes how I think and the kind of choices I’m impulsed to make…

70. Choice… Is obviously a wonderful thing Thank You Joost for deepening our perception of this amazing word.

71. Thank you Joost for the beautiful reminder of the power of our choices in each moment, our choices are either aligned to us evolving or aligned to us devolving – it really is that simple.

72. It is a choice to feel. It is a choice to feel everything. It is a choice to choose to be in the steadiness of ourselves no matter what is felt.

73. A beautiful confirmation of our day to day choices and the impact they have on our lives as a whole. Thank you Joost.

74. To live in a way that knows every movement and thought is our choice, is to live in absolute responsibility. To live with this level of responsibility is living evolution in every step.

75. Great to re-read this after what seems ages, but today this is the perfect blog for me. This is so true we are making choices every moment of every day, and sometimes we believe that we are not in control of our lives, but how can you not be when we get to make this many choices. Even in a situation where you we feel as though we are being forced into something against our will, we still have the choice to react or not, stay with us or not, breath our own breath or not – the list is endless, as are all of our choices.

76. Wow Joost that was an amazing blog to read, my whole body said yes and them my mind wanted to run away from the truth you were presenting. Amazing.

77. I recently attended the Universal Medicine retreat in Australia and was reminded again of how we make choices, and are responsible for everything that goes on in our lives. But the most important choice, is what energy we align to as there are two types of energy we can choose. One that aligns us to our Soul, where we take great care of ourselves so we can take great care of others, where we can access a world beyond our own human world, and live a life with much more joy, harmony, love and stillness.

    Or one that aligns us to the Spirit, which is very much about itself and makes most – if not all – of its decisions based on me-me-me and at often at disregard of the body.

    Once we choose which energy we want to align to, then that informs the rest of our choices. You can read more here: http://www.unimedliving.com/healing/everyday-healing/energetic-integrity-and-energetic-responsibility.html

78. It was great to come back to this blog and a reminder that every moment and movement is a choice. We are constantly choosing and if in we make a wrong choice we have the next moment to make another choice. Therefore in truth we can never blame anyone for anything as we have a choice to make a change in each moment.

79. The realm of choices is endless. There is so much we can do for ourselves and for others if so we choose.

80. Serge Benhayon consistently reminds me that energy is behind every choice that we make. This understanding helps me to understand why I make the choices that I do. Our choices tell us a lot about what we are really choosing.

81. Every moment we have a choice – Our choice and ours alone.

82. So simply but powerfully highlighting how in every moment we are offered the choice to be in connection with our Soul, our love within, to all that we are, with God and all or not, through which we then magnify the quality we choose through our bodies, through our movements and as a result is what we are sharing with the world.

83. It is forever our choice whether we let such choices be ruled from the ‘self’ or from the greater All we are a part of. Much illusion lies in not discerning from which pool of consciousness our choices are made.

    1. Ultimately our most fundamental choice: which pool of consciousness our choices originate from.

       1. Yes very true Liane and Golnaz – as it is our choice that adds to either pool of consciousness. Such is our responsibility as to what we are magnifying, and as such adding to.

84. A truly loving appreciation of choices made to bring love, learning and connection to living. Thank you Joost.

85. Everything is a choice. The most basic is how we breathe and how we move and the quality in which we live. The most basic is the energy we choose. This it is that creates the foundation of our life and supports all our choices.

86. To know that we are the ones that are making choices for ourselves and nothing is by accident or fluke restores much power in us and makes us responsible.

87. Indecisive today

88. Thank you Joost, what you share is super important that is: the realness, and absolute honesty and appreciation of where you are at and how you came to be where you are standing now with yourself. Showing us that there is no perfection, only simply being and growing more into ourselves (just like a tree) and growing our leaves out for everyone to see. Love it!

89. Our lives cannot but be transformed when we accept the power we have to make loving choices in life, and the responsibility we then possess to have the quality of life we wish due to those choices.

90. The way you bring choice to my attention in this blog is amazing, as it shows me that in fact life is a succession of choices and that the quality of all choices made up to this point in my life makes how I am now.

91. Whether we accept it as fact or not our life today is the direct result of the accumulation of all of our choices.

92. The power of choice and how effortless it is to change our way of moving in any moment. I love the possibilities of learning that are available to us constantly too. Thank you Joost.

93. “It is my choice to feel as awesome as I feel now due to all my choices.” A beautiful appreciation of the responsibility of the choices we make in the way we choose to live.

94. It is my choice which energy I choose to align to, and invite into my body.

95. Our life is a reflection of all our past choices, so it is definitely worth it aligning to an open heart.

96. We are our choice’s. Every choice is as important as our every breath, for they are life itself.

97. When I found the truth about life and there are being choices, from that moment on I have to the best of my ability chosen my divine connection to God. I feel this is the part of me that cannot be denied, for this is a reality, which is the only true choice and all else revolves around that first choice.

98. Life is a choice from the word go. Where we end up is the consequences of all the preceding choices. Hence, we are fully responsible for it.

99. I love the responsibility, consequences and learning that comes from deeply knowing that we have a choice in everything we do, it is as simple as that. Thank you Joost.

100. It is as simple as that – every moment is a choice of what energy we align to.

101. Thank you Joost. You remind me that every moment I experience is a result of my choices.

102. We all have free will to either choose love or all that is not from love. I am free to make a new choice today and that is to be more loving, gentle and tender with myself which will support me to let go of the hardness and protection I can still feel in my body.

103. A super duper blog to read Joost and so simply and beautifully delivered that we all have the power of choice and can make changes at any given moment.

104. Gosh that’s a lot of choices! Even just with the ones you have mentioned (let alone the countless others) there is sooo much responsibility in there.

105. I overheard someone yesterday saying they had read something that said we can only control, or similar words, two things in life, this is not true, we have a choice in everything we do, it’s never ending. But is also exposes the illusion, fog and lack of responsibility we live in and have made the choice to – of the fact or bliss our lives just happen to us, when the truth is every choice we make, and that could be the choice to not be aware, for we are always making choices, is a choice made by us, no one else. Do we choose to choose for ourselves or not? And if not who is then running the show? Because it certainly isn’t us.

     1. That is a costly choice to not know who is ‘running the show’, which we all eventually pay for with our karma. Karma just being our lack of responsibility for our choices.

106. A beautifull reminder that it’s our choice, and our responsibility of what we choose each and every moment.

107. We do have a choice and a responsibility to make our choices matter.

108. Well that was just awesome – in reading about your day it really made me think about my awareness in everything I do. And my presence. It seems so simple yet it’s so easy for us to get caught up in the busy-ness of those around us. Thanks, Joost, for this cool blog.

109. There are many occasions when we don’t think about the choices that we are making and how they affect other people.

110. As Serge Benhayon has said many times, “There is a choice in EVERY moment”

111. It is our choice whether we live the love that we are or avoid it. As it is also our choice to discern if the love that we live is genuine or the image we have been sold in its place.

112. It is a great reminder that from the moment we wake to the moment we sleep, we are constantly making choices. There it is really up to us to be making loving choices that support us throughout our day.

113. In every moment no matter who we are we can choose quality love and integrity, or not. Great blog Joost.

114. It is my choice to feel what impact the world is having on my body, or to ignore it, cover it up, dull and numb it. When I do feel what is going on, I connect to an inner warmth, a divine spark that is always there ready to shine.

115. There are so many choices to make daily that can lead to levels of appreciation. When we choose to bring more responsibility to these there is definitely more of an awareness of how our choices impact every aspect of our lives.

116. The choices we make now and in the next moment or the next, no matter how small can have an effect on our future immediately or can occur, not so obviously, a long way down the track. Life style choices affect our health hugely though we don’t always like to know that, which is why many seem to be surprised when illness occurs.

117. It is great to be reminded of how I am making choices in everything all the time, to bring back my awareness to this fact, and then the consequences of these choices.

118. Universal Medicine has shown us that we do have a choice! How often have we heard you don’t have a choice! Going out to dinner and the specials are all gone, except… Illnesses are a great one for no choices! By having choices, we don’t have to join the queue of few or no choices later down the road!

119. The responsibility that comes with the fact that we have a choice in each and every moment is as big as the universe. Do we fathom this as yet? If we look at our little earth life the answer would have to be NO. Enter Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, Serge is the only man I know who has reflected back that Absolute Responsibility and what that means and how it is to truly live Love.

120. An article on absolute responsibility – we are creating the paradigm we live in all the time.. so what do we choose?

121. It’s true. In every moment we have a choice. And we can feel the consequences of all of them. Nothing is an accident.

122. Evolution is always a choice of us saying yes to the pull of the universe that is constantly asking us to be more of the love that we are knowing that there is more than meets the eye.

123. It is lovely to read this again. Such a simple and direct declaration of how we are in the world – either a victim or empowered is just our choice.

124. Just yesterday I was having a discussion with a friend who believed that some people simply don’t have the choices others do. This blog blows that right out of the water. Money does not mean you have more choices available to you in the real sense. From a materiality point of view, then yes of course. But all these choices you’ve made in this one single day here Joost could have come from someone from absolutely any socio-economic background. Choosing for ourselves first, and trusting those choices…what could be more supportive to our lives than that? Taking absolute responsibility for where we choose to be and where we are going.

125. You can’t but acknowledge after reading this blog that everything in life is a choice. Life can often seem like it just happens without having a say in it and that our voices are just about what clothes to wear etc but our choices are everything. As you said it is in every moment – we can choose how to touch the iPad screen, how to open the door, what thoughts we allow, how we move and so on. Each of these choices can build a way of living we are content with and that makes us able to be an inspiration to others in life.

126. We can never be reminded enough that every moment we have a choice, and the billions of choices we make during a day result in how we feel at the end of the day, and the next day and the next day. So every moment is so important!

127. This blog reminded me that in every moment we have the opportunity to choose and be who we are or not.

     A very powerful message

128. This is super inspiring Joost, and great to remind us to keep the awareness and responsibility with us at all times as we lovingly make those choices.

129. All the way through our day we are presented with one opportunity after another it is simply our choice whether firstly we notice them and secondly what we choose when we do. I love reading this blog as it always reminds me this is how life works.

130. We are making choices in every moment of our day, therefore is it not wise to be aware of what it is we are choosing? As the potency in which we live our lives is determined by what it is we choose to surrender to.

131. Everything we do, every moment of everyday is a choice we are constantly making and it is influenced by the energy we are alowing in our body’s… that is also a choice.

     1. A great reminder Steve, we have a responsibility with the energy we allow into our bodies as it influences all the choices we will then make.

132. Re-visiting this blog is always a beautiful reminder of the fact there is always a choice in the quality that is chosen to bring to every movement, in every moment. It never ceases to amaze me how much more awareness this is bringing to details in daily life and how my body is speaking loudly and clearly when an ill-choice is made. Perhaps it has always being speaking in the same volume and I was simply unwilling and unable to hear it through the numbing out from constant business and raciness I used to live in prior to hearing Serge Benhayon presenting at Universal Medicine events.

133. Since attending Serge Benhayon’s presentations, I began to realise there is always a choice, a very simple choice in fact – to be love or not be love – sitting on the fence and not making any choice, is in fact making the choice to not be love.

134. Everything in life is a choice, and it is our responsibility to choose what is truth over the what is not.

135. The choices we make in every moment are the foundation of our future…..therefore it is crucial we are aware of the choices we are making.

136. The fact that we all have choices eliminates the notion of blaming others for where we are at.

137. My body tells me whether my choices are true, empowering and loving for myself and others. I have learnt to and chosen to ignore the wisdom of my body – the vessel that my being is dependent on and expresses through… how insane! I now know it is called irresponsibility!

138. It is my choice to be aware that I am making choices every second, and my choice to be aware of the impact my choices are having. It is my choice to understand the level of responsibility my choices bring, and likewise the consequences of being responsible or not with these choices. We cannot escape the fact that absolutely everything is a choice as Joost beautifully shows in this blog.

139. I feel really empowered when I realise that my life is dependent on the choices I make – and I appreciate the choice I made today to read your blog Joost. It feels as though we are taking responsibility when we honour all the choices that we make in a day and can then reflect on how they have supported us.

140. Life and everything in it is a choice, thank you for sharing the responsibility we have in every second as to the choices we make.

141. I love the double meaning in this blog, at least as I interpret it. The first meaning is celebrating that everything in life is our choice and we can make of life what we want. The second meaning is related to being a student of Universal Medicine, where the amazing courses and workshops are inspiring but never ever impose any ‘should’s’ on you, Being a student with Universal Medicine, you certainly get to feel every choice you make and know very clearly, it is your choice. Presented with a different way, the way of love, does offer a true choice. But from that very first step through that door, you get to feel what true responsibility means.

142. Beautiful Joost, I can feel how it is my choice to stay present with my body or to choose to be in my head thinking about things instead, and it’s my choice to feel my loveliness, grace and sweetness or to rush and be hard with my body, I’m choosing more and more to be loving and gentle and present with myself as this simply feels gorgeous.

143. The level of detail and awareness in every choice that you have made and are making is super inspiring. If we allow ourselves to bring this awareness to our day then the choices we make will become more obvious and the impact that they have on us. I know I certainly have and still do play with this, check in on how it is feeling for me and my body. With this awareness things have started to change, inspired by Serge Benhayon and the Ageless Wisdom teachings I have been able to bring this awareness to myself and go much deeper in my relationship with myself. Having space to actually feel All of who I am and what I can bring. Nurturing this is something that I would not even think twice about.

144. Our choices create all that we go on to live and never are they not with us. With so many choices up for grabs, it pays to discern what we will choose for each choice may determine the next choice and ones therafter and can lead to a life far removed from what is true and supportive of us. Likewise, a true choice calls for another true choice and true choice by true choice, we will return to all that is true, supportive of us and of all others.

145. Though you have not once said the word ‘responsibility’ here in this blog Joost, this is what is so powerfully claimed throughout. Do I truly want to be responsible for my choices, and their consequences? Or would I rather seek to blame anything and everyone else in this world for that which I have well-engendered by my own making…
     This is worthy of deep and ongoing consideration and pondering…

146. Such self-realisation changes the world Joost. Thank-you for sharing this.

147. It shows how much we give our power away to life when ALL of what we choose is ultimately our choice.

148. It was my choice to read this blog and I am pleased that I did.

149. This blog totally puts to bed the belief that we are not making choices, because even if we did nothing we are still making a choice. Then I suppose what comes into play is how aware are we of our choices and what quality do we want to perform those choices in – along with how do our choices impact on our lives and that of others. I used to have the belief that it was only the big choices in life which mattered but now I am becoming to understand the importance of every choice we make, as defined in this blog.

150. We provide for an empowered manner of living when we recognise that every moment and occurance in life is a choice (our choice). To know this, eliminates blame, stories, guilt, shame, inaction, holding back, contraction, projection snd the other ways we choose to remain ignorant (a choice also) and irresponsible (a well worn choice). Imagine the potential of humanity choosing Love, responsibility and to live our true divinity- such a choice will transform life as we know it from struggle, misery and illness, division, greed and corruption for a start to a world of brotherhood, equality and harmony with Love our every way. This surely starts with each of us which will inspire the collective choice and is well worth every loving choice we make.

151. We really do choose every single moment, your list of everything you do really does drive home that we can never complain that we didn’t have a choice, and I’m sure that the basic physical choices of where to go and what to do are just the tip of the iceberg, then we have a choice of so many different types of quality – in fact -our choices feel limitless.

152. “With thanks and appreciation for all that has been presented by Universal Medicine for me to consider, and for all the choices Serge Benhayon has made to be where he is today. Both Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have and continue to inspire me to live my every moment in the fullness of me”.
     Beautifully expressed Joost, the teachings and inspiration of Serge Benhayon I, like you, deeply appreciate.

153. What you have expressed here Joost is simple, beautiful and inspiring; the choice is always ours in every moment, always.

154. Our choices can either heal or harm. Every one of them. How amazing is that?

155. Being aware that we have choice deepens our responsibility to ourselves and the way we live.

156. I love this article. No ducking and diving we are presented with the fact that we are in the driving seat at all times – do we choose to have our hands on the steering wheel or not?

157. This is such an appreciative blog to read and claim every day for ourselves and the choices and power we really do have over our lives and the effects this has with everything . It really brings alive the true responsibility we have and can claim lovingly for both ourselves our planet, the universe and humanity.

158. I love re-reading this blog. It reminds me that through my choices I am responsible for everything I create in my life.

159. It is interesting to stand still with the fact that we are making choices in life all the time and I can say that in the past I was not aware of this as I unconsciously made them based on my ingrained patterns I had developed in life. Only for the major choices in life I made carefully considerations and made my choice based on that. Considering the fact that every moment we make a choice and we can choose to be love or not makes life about responsibility, the responsibility for living a conscious life based on being consciously present with how we conduct ourselves and in all that we do and for that we have to lift the veils that kept us unaware of the importance of making conscious choices that ultimately determine the quality of our lives.

160. Choices are deeply exposing as they are empowering. To make our own choices is to say yes in taking more responsibility, knowing every choice we make impacts much more than just ourselves. In all the choices in life, the first and foremost choice that I make is to take responsibility in being the true me.

161. It was my choice to read your brilliant blog today Joost, and I am so delighted that I made that loving choice. Thank you for the reminder that in every single moment there is a choice and that choice is mine.

162. Breaking it down to every single choice is taking responsibility for each and every choice we make is exactly what is being asked of us. To be honest and feel that every choice we make has an impact on how we feel is one that can be danced around for a very long time. I was a great dancer and didn’t matter what style of dancing I did they all seemed to dance around the fact that I was being irresponsible in the choices I made. Thats until I was deeply inspired by the teachings and revelations of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. Introducing a way of living that is all about true Self-Love and Self-Care has been a complete game changer and feeling this Awesome from my choices is the proof in the pudding so to speak.

163. Through a lack of connection in the past many of my choices have been irresponsible whether things have be perceived to work out or not if they have been made in reaction and made from my head which is not connected to my inner heart and soul so therefore outside of myself. Since learning to re-connect and feel my body, love and nurture myself my awareness of my body and what I am truly feeling supports responsible choice making and understanding of guidance and truth my body communicates.

164. It occurs to me now, that if we take our ability to choose down to its most finite point, we may find the essence of our free-will and exactly how we choose to use it.

165. Joost I love coming back to the simplicity of this, both in terms of my own choices but also the choices members of my family make.

166. Not acknowledging that I indeed make every choice (and choose it’s consequence) is a clever way to avoid taking responsibility for all that occurs in my life. It’s also joyful playing with choices and observing their effects, and feeling how powerful I am in my own life.

167. What is so beautifully described here is that is my choice to appreciate the changes that I have made not in bettering, improving or fixing myself but returning to the natural beauty that I am.

168. When you say it like that Joost there is no excuse for anything, as it is always my choice! thank you for your playfully serious expression.

169. I have come to understand over the last few years how powerful our choices are, how each choice impacts another and therefore it Is so important that we make choices with love, honesty and integrity for our ourselves and others.

170. I have to say I am extremely thankful for my soul for it was what led me to the work of Serge Benhayon where I too learnt about the possibility of choices and how to come back to myself enough to be able to understand and live them. It was my first truly wise choice this lifetime; choosing to continue to return to Serge’s presentations and evolve counts for more.

171. Unfortunately we have, en masse, gotten into the habit of not discerning our next steps. We are very much outside ourselves, doing life from our heads. And our heads are not often connected to our hearts or souls, but are busy rushing us about the place to do, do, do. In this place there is no space for feeling what is required next. The decision to leave a room quietly, as Joost described, would simply never occur to us.

172. It takes a while to truly understand the power of conscious choice. It’s not like choosing a flavour of ice cream or deciding which handbag to buy (although these can be chosen – or not! – with great awareness) but is something that is guided by the body and what can be truly felt as the next step, the correct response or the energetic truth. Much relies on developing a very solid connection with ourselves and this can take time.

173. I agree Joost, in every moment I can choose how to approach it and life. And when I read your ‘day’ of choices, I can see how much responsibility is inherent in choice, for every choice we make impacts on another – on everyone, as choice is an energy as well as an action and we are immersed in a sea of energy.

174. So we have choices….yes I see that and love that but I also fight it at times as well. It is a commitment and discipline to keep choosing a more self-caring choice than a self-harming one. And always coming back to the fact fact that we do have choices and we are making them all the time. Even if we feel power-less against that choice, we are still making it.

175. To have the ability to make choices is a very powerful tool for our evolution and I wonder if we really appreciate that in our everyday living. The quality of our choices come from the energy we are choosing to have in our bodies at any given time and this energy is preceded by the quality of our stillness. Our choices govern what is going to happen in the next moment and when they come from our stillness the outcomes can be amazing.

176. The word responsibility comes to mind when I re-read this blog this morning. We make choices every moment throughout our day but at the end of the day it is one choice to heal or to harm.

177. It’s my choice to be ‘me’, living the Love that is me, listening to my inner knowing, and and knowing that I have everything within myself that is needed. The days that I don’t do that ultimately end up complicated!

178. So many choices and yet it is just one choice at a time. But it is a choice in every moment.

179. What I find difficult at times is that I get myself into a situation of reacting to something and then realise that I can choose to not be in the reaction and come back to myself, yet if I am too far into into it I can’t seem to make the loving choice. Therefore I am choosing, in that moment, to stay in reaction. Crazy choice.

180. The main point I get from your blog is that it’s my choice, and that I can make the choice to take care of myself, deepen my love and relationships or not – but at the end of the day its got nothing to do with anyone but me. That is incredibly powerful as there would always have been something where I would say its not my choice.

181. Constantly feeling how every moment is our choice feels like there is responsibility in being able to respond to what is being presented in life, or to react. Therefore all the choices that I make before a moment carry an equal level of responsibility and there is a forever cycle. Thank you Joost for expressing the simplicity of making our choices.

182. I love the simplicity and repetition of ‘it is my choice’ as it brought home the message that it is indeed ‘my choice.’

183. It is hard to believe how much our choices affect others but if we are honest we can feel that they all do. It is most challenging when my choices do not agree with another’s. That is when we must be truly detach from outcomes and allow ourselves the grace to follow our inner knowing and wisdom.

184. We do often think we have no choice in how our day goes, what eventuates, but as this blog shows we have abundant choices. Perhaps what we don’t like is the responsibility that comes with knowing it is indeed our choice.

185. Our choices have a strong influence on others. When we choose to be love, it is easier for others as well.

186. And it is my choice whether I let the critic’s voice take centre stage or the voice of appreciation for the amazing impact of taking responsibility.

187. Beautiful to feel the truth, power and simplicity of your words Joost it is and always will be “my choice”.

188. It seems clear to me that we can give up, on ourselves and on life. But this is in fact a choice in itself, and one that can be easily maintained as well as reversed.

189. It is my choice to write this comment 😉
     Life is full of choices – what I absolutley love about what you have presented here Joost, is that we are not victims of life, ever – we have so many choices that abound around us – however at times we feel we are bound by what happens around us as if we had no choice in things. The reality is that we may not have a choice (in the sense of have control over) things that happen around us, however, we do have a choice in how we are in our day and how we do things and how we respond or react to life. And this is a blessing to realise.

190. It my choice – how deeply will I live in connection today? Each day presents another opportunity to bring more love, more of me.

191. This is so beautiful Joost. This concept of choice is something that I am going through with my children at present and they are learning the consequences of their choices. They know that if I ask them to do something and they don’t do it, that I can then take a toy of them as a consequence, but they are learning that the true consequences are what life returns to them through their choices.

192. And even when we’re supposedly not making choices we still are.

193. ‘It is my choice to carefully close the door behind me when I leave the house’ and my choice to open it, when I return, with the same, if not more, care. It is in the simplest of tasks that we change our lives because it is the quality we choose to do things in that founds the way it is.

194. Coming back to this blog, today (by choice), I love its simplicity and responsibility.

     1. There’s a humbleness that comes with knowing I am responsible for the result of all the choices I make, which allows an ease with each choice, a knowing it is yet another learning moment.

195. Choices are huge and it seems to come back to more and more how aware am I choosing to be? or more so how much do I want to dampen my awareness to not feel everything that I am feeling (we all feel everythign all of the time).

196. I love this celebration of Choice Joost. It brings responsibility in the most beautiful and simple way.

197. Life has always been about choices and when we choose to connect to love first in all we do it definitely is life changing.

198. When it comes down to it, everything is a choice, absolutely everything, from the littlest detail, to the ‘big’ life choices, they are all important… and it is this that eludes us… how even the smallest choice is important.

199. The thread of these choices is what allows us to breath our own breath or not. Serge Benhayon has confirmed what i have always known, that our choices are transparent, carried in the sound of our voice, the movement of our bodies, the depth of our eyes.

200. I will never tire of reading this Joost, how glorious to appreciate how abundant the opportunities are for us grow and evolve through free will.

201. To claim every moment and make the choice that feels true for me allows space for the next moment to be fully honoured – thank you Joost

202. it is my choice to read your gorgeous blog Joost and appreciate the space I now have in this moment to feel all my choices that have led me here. Beautiful.

203. It is my choice, in each and every moment and the way I feel in each moment is a direct result of my choices. There is no one to blame for where I am or how I feel other than myself. This is an awesome responsibility but also amazingly empowering.

204. We are choosing in every moment, and we can go about life feeling our choices are only affecting ourselves, and therefore we can choose as we please, but the fact is that every thing we do, every choice we make, every action, every word we speak affects all and everything, energetically, that exists.

205. When we recognise we have a choice at every moment we can no longer blame anyone for what happens in our life. We have a choice to be loving or not and everything that occurs from that moment onwards is from that choice. Always my responsibility and no one else.

206. It is always my responsibility in that every choice I make either heals or harms.

207. One of the amazing things about choices is what a friend of mine told me yesterday: Every evening he eats a whole bunch of things like a full bag of potato chips that he wouldn’t eat if he had a choice. He chooses not to eat it and eats it anyway. Choices require a commitment, true choices require a commitment to truth.

208. Coming back to this blog what comes to me now is that there is no escaping the enormity of our choices and how important they are and that there is no off moment, we can choose to be off but then we need to be in the absolute understanding that this will then impact all those around us every time we do.

209. The choices we make every moment are the foundation of how we live. The energy that makes these choices is also a choice. We can choose to run to the light or back into the safety of our cave that we have built. I know what my choice will always be!

210. “it is my choice…” reminds me of how important it is to be conscious and aware of the choices we are actually making, compared to the times when we recognise we have been on an ‘auto-pilot’ mode and have made choices. It resurrects the importance of ‘responsibility’ to ourselves.

211. With more awareness that I am constantly choosing something in each moment, I feel the opportunity to bring more, to take more responsibility for the way I am living, the way I am moving, what I am bringing, how I am contributing to life …. Serge Benhayon is showing us all, it’s not about self, it’s about everyone, always, equally so.

212. I love coming back to your inspirational blog, Joost …. a gorgeous reminder that I have chosen the life I am living today in every detail and will continue to do so. Each morning is the opportunity to feel the potential in the day and to choose to bring along all of me and allow the magic to unfold, knowing that each choice made from love brings just what is needed in that moment. How divine.

213. When there are choices made in every moment, it is worth considering what is happening when we think that we are not making choices.

214. I love this Joost, very playful and very powerful. Just yesterday I was faced with one of those choice moments while cleaning at work. My mind started to go into resentment while I was cleaning a bathroom, and then I caught myself, and said to myself, “it is never about the doing, it is about you moving so gracefully and tenderly and leaving that imprint in the room. I was enjoying being with myself so much then that when another colleague asked if she could finish it off for me, I felt I was having too much fun to stop now, and simply said, “it’s all good thank-you”.

215. Just goes to show that to be aware of all we do as the ‘how’ of that is determined way before we do, Serge Benhayon is the living example of all of that all of the time.

216. Thank you Joost – there is a choice for us in each and every moment and the quality of those choices can be changed at any time.

217. Thank you for reminding me Joost, not only of how many choices we have the potential to make in a day but the appreciation that another has made those choices before us and lives as an inspiration of how those choices affect the body. It is inspirational to see the work ethic, the deep love and care Serge has for his family, for us, for humanity. Not more no less than for himself. Thank you Joost

218. Thank you, Joost. Your words on choice remind me that we have always had the choice, that through ages there have consistently been those who have represented what Serge Benhayon does now, a simple living way that can be accessed through the willingness to look at our choices and make life about universality rather than the individual.

219. This is such a playful way to write. The repetition of ‘It is my choice’ lightly and persistently inviting us to see the responsibility and power we hold in our hands. Thank you, Joost.

220. The realisation that life is all about our choices and the responsibility this brings to us all is a very empowering way to live if we choose to see this and have only to look at ourselves which takes away blame and irresponsibility and allows the freedom to grow and evolve lovingly with our soul.The reflection of Serge Benhayon and how he lives is the amazing inspiration and choice we have to make for ourselves.

221. Love is a choice away from misery.

222. Every moment we have a choice, so beautifully expressed Joost. This is something that we need to truly understand and to actively make a conscious effort in bringing this awareness into our own lives and feel which energy we actually want to be coming in and through our bodies.The more this becomes the every moment awareness the more opportunity we have of being connected to the Grandness of who we are. Serge Benhayon is an incredible example of what is actually possible when we make it 24/7 about the Love that we are and this as our emanating impulse.

223. Joost it was a good choice today to read your awesome blog again as it reminds me that I have a choice in every second.

224. Knowing that we do have a choice is a power-full realization, and to exercise that choice with true power inspires all who are yet to reawaken that power within themselves, too.

225. How beautiful it is that we have choices, it is something to appreciate that, we can choose in every moment our next step or next choice.

226. We really only have 2 choices in life… to choose the quality of the Divine, our Soul… or not. If we choose our Soul then all choices will be truly loving and supportive of everyone; if not then our choices will be made for us and will serve only the individual.

227. As you present Joost, everything about our lives is from the choices we have made, but what is inspiring about your blog is the detail that is revealed… every single second we are making a choice about something whether we are conscious of it or not. It is not just about the external things like choosing what car to buy, but how we are within ourselves – how we are choosing to breathe, move, think, etc – it all adds up to the choices of our life.

228. It can’t be stated clearer than this, everything we do is a consequence of a choice we make. So we should take the responsibility for all that we do, as nothing happens in our day without us making the choice, the ultimate responsibility.

229. “It is my choice to get out of bed. It is my choice what clothes I wear that morning. It is my choice to eat what I do for breakfast. It is my choice to carefully close the door behind me as I leave the house.” If we consider that we have a choice as to how we will do these small things that we do everyday, as soon as we wake up in the morning and before we have even left the house, this can have a huge impact on how we are for the rest of our day, and how our interactions with others will be. The key thing is to remember that we do have a choice in every moment of every day.

230. The truth about our choices is that we only ever have one and that is which energy we choose to align to. You can see it as having one plug and only two sockets to choose from, a blue one and a green one. Whichever socket you choose, that is the current that will be fueling every choice thereafter. So we make blue choices or green choices, it is not up to us, the energy chooses. The one will keep us in our creations, the other will lead us back to our Soul. The simplicity of this is gorgeous but it comes with a huge responsibility: to know which socket we plug into in each and every moment.

231. The simplicity of this blog reminds me of the simplicity of choice: I used to not be able to make choices easily, I would go over the pro’s and con’s and felt a pressure to ‘get it right’. What I did not understand at that time is that the choice was already made. We think it is us who chooses but the thought process that comes with that is merely a distraction from the fact that we know the choice was already made simply by the choice to which energy we aligned.

232. It has been said by Serge Benhayon that ‘our choices follow us’ and i couldn’t agree more. We are the sum total of every choice we have ever made

233. It really is incredible how many choices are made in an hour, let alone a day or a week or a month.
     The importance is not so much in making the choice but in making it one of Love or not to begin with — for this will determine if our choices are of Love or without.

234. It is very refreshing to read a blog that highlights how empowering it is to forge our own life and not be at the mercy of a life living us as it chooses

235. Never are we victims of life or circumstances for our choices are forever with us determining the next moment.

236. This blog has supported me to be aware of the fact that every single moment there truly is a choice in the quality I choose in how I move, sit, stand and walk, even if my mind is not wanting to know this, there is more awareness of my body knowing the consequence of any apparent non-choice, which in itself, is a choice!

237. Choices are the stuff of life. We can either make them for ourselves, in disregard of the rest of the world, or we can make our choices to encompass all of humanity including ourselves. Oh look! Another choice!

238. It is the most empowering thing to realise that every moment of the day we choose what we do next, think next, move towards. We are never a victim but always the master of our own choices.

239. “What am I choosing?” is a far more empowering question than indulging in being a victim of life or complaining about being at the end of a problem. In every moment and every interaction there is a choice to be made where we can confirm ourselves or not.

240. You make it very clear Joost, exactly the enormity of our choices in our daily lives which a lot of the time we make without a second thought. It’s easy to see, when written like this, how they are stack up so by the end of the day we can feel whether we are still as vibrant, alive and connected as we felt at the beginning. Great observations to make.

241. Joost a great blog that ensures we can’t avoid or hide from the fact everything in life is our choice this means both the stuff we don’t like being because of previous choices but also the great stuff. I’ve also learnt that the more I appreciate the everyday choices that are loving and caring the more I am willing to accept my responsibility for the choices I make when they are not loving.

242. This blog just oozes the responsibility that we have in every moment of each and every day. Every moment presents a choice, and every choice has a consequence and builds a foundation for the next moment. We really do create the type of day we are going to have. What I love about this blog is how loving it feels. Responsibility is ultimately loving.

243. Joost, I love the simplicity of your article, i have been feeling lately that for me staying present in my body is a choice, that i am often choosing to check out and be in my head thinking about something rather than being with my body and its movements, and so im choosing now to commit to staying with my movements and being in my body rather than in my head thinking.

244. Joost your blog reminds us of the plethora of choices we are being presented with throughout the day.
     It is our choice whether we do them or not, and the quality we choose to do them in- with gentleness and from love, or with angst, resentment, stubbornness, guilt or shame.
     Do we live from simplicity or make our life full of complications? Our choice is always ours to make.

245. Do we ever consider that we are making choices for every thing we are doing on a moment to moment basis? I have to say that I am not consciously aware of that fact but in truth I am making choices at any moment, even now while typing this comment, I am choosing the words and letters to type. Everything is a choice and what I can feel in that is that what matters is what quality I do make these choices. Do i make them from me being love and living that in full or do I make the choices from me not being love, as that does make the difference.

246. Great Article Joost, a world of choices, that all add up to life as we know and experience it.

247. “it’s my choice to raise a young child that I love, and support them to be themselves”…I really felt your love for your child and what a gift/responsibility it is to raise them and in a away that supports them to be themselves in the world. I had such an appreciation of the role parents can (and do) play. Thank you.

248. Joost I love the simplicity of your article about the choices you make. There is no room for complication. Thank you for the inspiration

249. I love this blog Joost – since first reading it I am frequently reminded that in every moment I have a choice….does what I am choosing to do support just me, or does what I am choosing to do support myself and all of humanity? The thing that has changed for me recently is that I am now asking myself this question more and more, so thank you for bringing this once again to my attention.

250. It is my choice to live for humanity. It is my choice to allow others to live for themselves. It is my choice to see that we are not different. It is my choice to forever learn and live together with people in constant evolution. It is my choice to always return deeper to love in support to myself.

251. This blog reminded me of a great song by the German band Heaven’s Joy called Messenger and the lyrics go like this. . .
     ‘I have no right to be less than who I am.
     I have no right to be less than a sunshine.
     I have no right to be less than the divine,
     Cause it is your right to get my reflection of true light’

252. The big R – Responsibility, goes hand in hand with the big C – Choice. For with every choice we either take responsibility or we seek to avoid it.

253. Every choice we make is taken with our choice to be fully responsible or not. There is no perfection but an opportunity to read each situation and reflect whether that was loving or not.

254. You choose the energy and you will be what ever it chooses for you!!

255. When I feel connected my choices are simply made and my day flows.

256. I love what Serge Benhayon has presented before about how we are all at any given time at the same time. As in, a marathon runner could have set off at 2pm and finished at 4pm, and you may have begun watching a film at 2pm which finished at 4pm. You and the marathon runner end up in the same place – you are both at 4 o’clock at the same time and how you used your time was YOUR CHOICE. We are always choosing how we are going to live and use the space between 2pm and 4pm.

257. When we stop and look at our days, our lives, this way, it becomes clear how one choice leads to another and so on and so forth. Equally so this one choice does not stop at having an affect on me but everyone around me, and hence everyone around them and so on and so forth. Here then we realise the absolute responsibility of our choices.

258. Choice = Responsibility; just as Responsibility is a constant choice

259. Our choice of quality is what determines our range of ‘choices’ thereafter.

260. It’s my choice but the consequences are everyone’s for my choices do not only affect me but all other too.

261. When a day and or our life is presented in this way there can be no denying that every single action, thought, doing, whatever, is always always always down to what we choose. This is powerful therefore in seeing and accepting there can never be any blame for anything as we know we have a responsibility to make the choices we do as they effect ourselves and the whole equally. Thank you Joost.

262. I too am learning there is a choice to be made in every moment, and that is the quality of energy I choose to be in at that moment. the quality is what then determines every choice I make thereafter – So if we make this first choice true, what follows we be true – and this is the responsibility we each hold – to make life true for all to know.

263. ‘ it’s my choice to study how I live life and to grow my relationships with people’. The choice to be open and willing to learn from whatever life presents to us is a huge gift we give ourselves and something to be appreciated.

264. The choices we make in life are not purely for us, our choices greatly affect everyone we come in contact with, and in fact the whole planet, as we are all deeply connected.

265. The choices we make deeply effect our body’s and life’s, by choosing to try out the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I have in effect been choosing myself, so to speak. I have, after a life time of searching outside of myself, finally chosen to connect to my body and heart and live from there, allowing myself to be impulsed forth from that connection to me. And what a benediction that is in my life and all those who come in contact with me.

266. The photo of you speaks a thousand words Joost, I see the tender, deeply caring father and family man you are firstly, but this is only possible because of your deep self care and love that you treat your body and precious being with.

267. The self appreciation, love and tender regard you hold yourself in Joost, is deeply inspiring for myself and others, I was very touched by your intimate account of you choosing this in your life.

268. Thanks Joost for sharing, and highlighting the importance of our choices, and that through connection, conscious presence and appreciation, we can bring more love and harmony into our lives. All through the simple yet profound way we choose to live. Nice one!

269. I love reading this blog. I sense a simplicity and power which I can trust when someone knows that our choices impact every moment and embraces the responsibility of that.

270. Making the choice to be inspired is opening up to equality between all, to awareness, connection and seeing through the person to who and what they truly represent. It is an ongoing study how not to take on a reality which seeks to enforce that we have to forge our own path, be an individual and do anything but surrender to the truth that we all come from the same source of love and all can inspire each other in our own unique expressions of love. And not only can but that this way of living in harmony is so very much needed.

271. We are constantly making choices all the time as you demonstrate here Joost! So even if we have made a mistake the next choice can be different, can be back to love.

272. Brilliant Joost, not only do we have all these choices every day but they lead and flow from one to another, so the true choice we make to care and honour or ignore and avoid permeates life in a much bigger way. Like a domino effect we can think we are choosing one simple choice yet we are truly being carried in the momentum we have of everything and every day before. This inspires me to truly see what is the bigger choice that is informing me.

273. It is my choice to connect to the truth and wisdom of the Universe and be inspired every moment by the absolute grandness it offers us all.

274. So true Joost – “It is my choice to acknowledge the amazing, beautiful changes I have already allowed in my life by trying out what the teachings of Universal Medicine present to me.” I can say exactly the same and the changes in my life are a living proof of what is possible when we allow true reflection followed by choices that hold us and others in the amazingness that we all are.

275. It doesn’t matter what physical age you are, the joy of choosing to be who you really are is always that: Joy.

276. In me acknowledging I make a choice I also accept my responsibility for the results of each choice.

277. In every moment we make a choice and that choice ultimately determines the next choice. And then there is the question – are we aware of the effect our choices are having on us and others.

278. I love this blog and found myself yesterday saying to myself I choose to ….. all the way to work. Sometimes it is easy to think that when life seems to have got the better of us that we have no choice, but we always have the next second to make a choice and then the next, and so on. Breaking it down as described in this blog really brings it home to the extent of our choices on a daily basis, and the best part if we feel things did not go too well yesterday, today we get to do it all over again.

279. Joost, this blog is very powerful because it helps to break the belief some might carry, me included, that things just happen and we do not have a choice in the making. It’s all about choice. Sometimes it’s easy to think that we cannot possibly have anything to do with what is going on but that is seriously underestimating our true power in making choices.

280. Simplicity reins from the choices we want to make, the complexity arises from the choices we do not make.

     1. It’s as simple as that

281. Whatever we do we have a choice in how we do it and what quality we bring to that choice. Joost it is beautiful to read your awareness and how you honour your choices and how you take responsibility for the choices that you make knowing that every choice has either a direct or indirect impact on another.

     1. And it’s so empowering to live this way

282. Joost, a great reminder that we always have choices and that we have choices to choose. Reading your story I can tell that you choose with respect and a level of awareness and responsibility to self and others foremost. It is when we are under the illusion that we don’t have choices and are a victim to life. This way of being also has a repertoire of choices that will lead to the disrespect of self and others.

283. Understanding that it is all about choice makes us so much more self responsible in how we live .

284. My body leaves me in no uncertainty as to when a choice has been made that does not serve. The discomfort and tension is palpable and brings me back to the fact, it has been some ill-choices that I have made that are being felt. A stop moment to choose to move from a different quality and change this.

285. Our first choice is to choose the energy we connect to; if it is not the light of the soul we have made an ill choice! The ill energy will make a choice to keep you proceeding along a path of it’s choosing that nudges you away from being in divine energy and once this happens we really do not have a choice as we are not shown any different. Re-connecting to our divine essence or soul was never a choice to me before the teachings of Serge Benhayon. Now I choose to consider every aspect of my life to be a choice of being connected to my soul first before any other choice.

286. Reading your blog Joost I can see the thousands of choices I have to be more loving in my day.

     1. How beautiful to choose for yourself the gift of appreciating these kind of choices you are making for yourself, it is a life changing choice

287. Once I got over the ‘ouch’ of feeling my life was a result of all my choices I could feel the gift in self responsibility.

288. There is so much to appreciate about choices we have made in life and the more I do appreciate, the more inspired I am to deepen my responsibility and awareness of my choices right now and what that lays down ahead.

289. Great blog to reflect on Joost. I have come to understand that my life, as it is today, is the sum of my choices; from the most, seemingly, insignificant choice to the most major of choices all have an impact on myself, humanity and the universe. What a wonderful opportunity and responsibility we have to change the way in which humanity lives on earth.

290. The constant question for me is, what am I choosing in this moment?

     1. Yes Lee, as what was the right choice before may not be what is needed now..

291. With the understanding that we are responsible for all of our choices in life; every single choice has a consequence and everyone feels the consequence of our choices right down to the way we move and breathe. This is a huge responsibility to ourself and humanity.

292. There is something very powerful in seeing that in every moment we are making a choice. We can not help but see the immense will and responsibility we exercise in just one day.

293. So true. When we take responsibility for life we can’t operate in ‘victim mode’ – we become very aware that all that happens is due to our choices. Even how we choose to react in difficult situations effects the outcome and all around us.

294. I am reflecting on my own choices today, specifically those which have led to and created the situation in which I find myself today. A situation that I’d rather not be in having arrived here and yet have chosen.

295. It has been my choice to read your blog here Joost and to choose to feel the inspiration and the responsibility that understanding all you are saying brings with it. It is my choice to live as responsibly and lovingly with others as I want to and to choose to feel and celebrate the absolute blessings that come to me by virtue of living this way and this responsibility with myself. Thank you.

296. Every single thing that has happened in my life has been my choice, however much I want to deny it or justify. This brings a huge level of responsibility but is also very empowering as it is now up to me how I live my life and I can no longer blame others, fate or God for what may happen in the future. Thus an opportunity to deepen, become more loving and open; all my choice – to evolve – or not.

297. It is my choice to stop and truly observe what is going on inside of me – or I can pretend it is not there. Like today I have been observing in me a recurring thought pattern. But it has been there for a few days already. I have a sense it comes from a choice I have made somewhere along the line about something, where I felt it was not truly supportive for me. So now I can choose to address it or wait till it reaches a momentum. It is all about choices…..

298. Ever since reading this blog I have been more aware of the choices that I make when starting up my car and driving away – and I ask myself now and again: ‘were you ready to depart, or did you just take off in a rush to get to where you are going?’ This gives me a moment to stop, and sometimes to just feel the raciness in my body as a keenness to get somewhere, or to appreciate how gentle I had been with myself and my body.

299. Being consciously aware of a choice we are about to make, brings opportunity to choose self love.

300. This post shows that how our day effects us is our choice and no-one else is making it happen, even if reacting to another’s behaviour. It is us who chooses how to ‘read’ a situation and respond. To do this, it is often great to have an understanding of why we react, what hurt is it that we carry, that gets triggered when someone acts in this way.

301. Appreciating the changes I’ve made from being inspired by the presentations of Universal Medicine show me who I truly am so that partaking in the behaviours or energy of who I am not makes less and less sense to the point where I choose to live more and more lovingly.

302. When we understand and accept that everything in our lives comes down to what we choose, it turns everything we thought we knew on its head and it all becomes about self responsibility. Blaming others becomes a thing of the past and all that happens in our lives is ultimately down to our own choices.

303. since reading this blog, I now create a stop moment in my car to connect to the quality I am in before I pull away and drive off. Thank you for this little gem.

304. It is my choice to come into this world. It is my choice to be here with purpose.

305. Joost, you have made it very clear that life is one whole, not one choice is more important than another. Some choices seem to be big others small but our quality of living is found in every detail.

306. The choices we make every day, from the little tiny seemingly unimportant ones, to the giant life changing ones all add up to the experience of our life. It is all about choice.

307. The openness to say hello to other people is something that seems to be taken for granted, but I for one have had many times when I have not taken that simple moment to connect and acknowledge someone. This tiny choice makes a huge difference.

308. Being aware that everything we do in life is our choice brings a possibility to take responsibility for our lives and see them as ‘just happening’, ‘chance’ or ‘(bad) luck’. It also presents us with the opportunity to deeply appreciate ourselves for the choices we have made when they were truly supportive for is in every way.

309. Even when we might make a choice that isn’t so supportive of us, in the very next moment we have the opportunity to make another one that is. Love this blog Joost.

310. The choice to be care-ful and conscious is made so simple when the first choice is connection.

311. ‘It is my choice to let myself be inspired.’ – Touche, how often do we miss the opportunity to be truly deeply inspired, because we did not pay attention in the moment, or we dismissed it because we made ourselves ‘lesser or better than’ or – we simply could not be bothered because it was too challenging and pushed all our buttons? To let ourselves be inspired is indeed a choice.

312. This is such a great reminder Joost that we have a choice in every moment of every day, and although somethimes we try very hard to blame another for something that happens to us, ultimatley it happens due to our own personal choices. It is thanks to Serge Benhayon that I have learnt this, and that I am now making choices that are not only life changing for me, but inspiring others to do the same. These choices need to be appreciated and celebrated, as without the divine reflection and inspiration of Serge, I would not be where I am today.

313. This is simple but very profound to realise how many choices we make in one day without sometimes observing that we are making those choices. Without this understanding we can incorrectly think that the cause of something we’re not happy with has come from somewhere else rather than from our own previous choices. It’s all our own responsibility.

314. I am choosing to read this blog again and appreciate the delicate strength and power in it and to deepen my awareness that whatever I do or however I am is my choice all day long.

315. I have found it interesting how sometimes, when I’m feeling the consequences of my ‘unloving’ choices in my body, it has been a pattern of mine to feel the need to ‘punish’ myself further, which I can now see, is a clear indication of the energy I have been choosing. Today, I see things very differently and know that this ‘dis-ease’ is an opportunity to assess what is really going on, to explore what it is that I’m avoiding, what allowed me to dis-connect and it’s an opportunity to choose an energy that inspires me to be the divinity that I know I am.

316. It is my choice to be a Student of Universal Medicine. Serge Benhayon is an awesome man that is a leading light of inspiration concerning my choice to live with love and responsibility. It is great to express the power of choice through this article.

317. With choice, I have felt the next step is responsibility, what I choose brings forth what I experience in life. And so I have begun in committed way to be present and aware of many of my choices. Responsibility for what we choose in life, makes us accountable, this can be uncomfortable if what we see is confronting, but essentially it is deeply healing and freeing.

318. The Power, Joy and Freedom of Choice can not be under estimated, it changes everything.

     1. The Power, Joy and Freedom of Choice can not be under estimated, it changes everything.

319. By being aware that we have a choice in each and every moment we cannot blame anyone or anything for what happens to us. It is very empowering to effectively know we are in control the way we live our lives. Sure outside forces can and will influence us but we can always come back to a simple choice.

320. This blog really helped me out yesterday. Someone I knew was complaining that it was unfair they didn’t get to do what they wanted ever. Your words sprang to mind and I asked them when, they woke up, how they woke up, what they did next, how they did it, etc. They soon got the picture. I completely understood how confronting this can seem because we are fed this belief that we are dragged kicking and screaming through life adhering to its rules and regulations with no say in the matter, when in fact nothing is further from the truth.

321. Thanks for reminding me of the place of choice in our lives, Joost, and of having an awareness of these choices; especially with regard to the most important of these – the choosing of the right energy. Thank you Serge Benhayon for stressing this to us on many occasions as this is the corner-stone on which Universal Medicine is based and on which I choose to live my life.

322. Its my choice if I want to numb myself by overeating or to not. It is my choice to stay in an emotion or not, it is my choice to hold onto something and take it with me all week or let it go. Knowing we have a choice is a big responsibility as there is no room for blame. Its my choice.

323. I love this blog Joost. It is like a wake up call every time I read it. Today I am feeling how often I make choices that go against my knowing, my better judgement and no matter how I try to justify these choices, in truth there is no other excuse for this other than it is my choice to do so.

324. I think what you are saying here is that we have a choice 😉 ?? This blows the blame game out of the water when we realise we have a choice in every single moment of the day and take responsibility for these choices. And if we choose differently one moment with something that is unsupportive, we can choose again differently in the next moment to support ourselves.

325. Your blog Joost is a beautiful reminder that every single moment counts which brings a deeper level of responsibility to every single step we take – that step either being towards connection and love or not. There is no inbetween.

326. To not choose is also a choice.

327. How can it be that most people are living their lives unaware or in denial of the fact that we are responsible for each and every choice we make? Why wouldn’t we make this our number one focus in life?

328. One choice is followed by another, whether we like that responsibility or not, you make that very clear on the minutest of detail.

329. When we feel we don’t have a choice, we’re avoiding something, maybe being honest and completely aware of the whole situation, or a deep hurt that we have kept buried. There is always a choice and an opportunity to heal or to harm.

330. It is interesting how often we can make choices to stay ‘comfortable’, there can be a dis-ease in leaving what feels safe for the ‘unknown’, yet to do so, we are limiting ourselves, shutting ourselves off from the possibilities which abound in life all around us. Nothing stays the same, life is evolving each and every moment, I choose to be a part of this, to allow myself to be open to my day unfolding, to appreciate the richness of life.

331. What I love about the fact that everything is my choice is that in every moment I can decide if I react to something and if I do, which is also fine, how much time I am going to stay with this reaction and let it influence my whole day. Or not….this morrning I had a reaction on work and felt some hurt. I just observed and then it went away and I made the choice to leave it to that, and now my morning feels great, and in full connection with all those around me. All from making that choice.

332. We are constantly choosing, everything we do involves a choice, and knowing there is an energy behind each choice and what that energy is, and how it manifests, is crucial in our understanding of how our choices affect everything we do, and everyone in our lives.

333. We have a choice in everything and every choice we make affects everybody else

334. I love this call for the real responsibility for our lives Joost in everything we are and do and the appreciation and love this allows and grows in us. The reflection of Serge Benhayon his family and Universal Medicine in the way of livingness is inspirational as is your blog showing our choices and the reflection of the love we are.

335. Joost if everyone read your blog and applied this to their life then blame would be a thing of the past and the choices we make would certainly be considered as their impact is more than life long and benefits almost instant.

336. I love this choice you’ve offered here Joost, “It is my choice to carefully close the door behind me as I leave the house.” It was an observation of Serge Benhayon as he closed the door behind him that first allowed me to understand what it meant to CHOOSE to do something consciously and carry it out with such care. I was inspired! Just imagine then that every one of those choices in our day, is an opportunity for another to be inspired to make an equal loving, care-ful, conscious choice too.

337. “It is my choice to acknowledge the amazing, beautiful changes I have already allowed in my life by trying out what the teachings of Universal Medicine present to me.” I made the same choice Joost too and have never looked back. What an immensely powerful opportunity we are given through these teachings that encourage us to bring our attention to the most simple of choices, the energy we choose to live in, and to re-build our lives founded on this awareness.

338. Love it Joost, so often we feel we don’t have a choice, but as your blog so beautifully reminds us every moment we have a choice.

339. What a wonderful celebration of self responsibility, and the endless opportunities we have to confirm and appreciate ourselves in the lives we have chosen. And when we have made not so good choices, the next opportunity is always there waiting for us, so it is never too late to turn things around.

340. They sure do Ariana, and a perfect reminder for me today!

341. Thankyou Joost for choosing to write this gorgeous, simply, yet powerful blog.

342. What occurred to me whilst reading this blog again was how often we say and feel like we have no choice in certain situations, but in actual fact we are making choices every single second of the day. So if we find ourselves in a tricky situation maybe it would be good to back track and look at our choices in more detail and to realise that we always have a choice. In fact we can never not be making choices.

     1. So true Julie, so often we make choices that end up with us in a situation we don’t like to be part of, to then only shirk our responsibility and say we’re unlucky etc, how ridiculous to even think that.

343. It is my choice to accept and embrace the responsibility that I always have a choice and then be seriously playful about making them!

     1. Seriously Playful, that’s awesome!

344. Our freedom to choose and make choices is a moment by moment way that we evolve constantly moving forward or remain in the primordial soup we came from.

345. Joost what I love about this blog and the authority in which you claim who you are and what you choose is powerful. You know exactly who you are and what feels right for you and what does not. The clarity in which you are choosing to live is inspired by the clarity in which the Ageless Wisdom is presented by Serge Benhayon. With this committed loving dedication from Serge and his love for humanity the clarity in which he is living his life is constantly there for us all to be inspired by.

346. This is a great reminder to depth and width to which our choices reach. It is not only what is chosen but much more so the quality that we choose to do it in. And our choices affect not only ourselves nor only all those close to us but the entire world and the Universe. It is this level of responsibility that has to be brought into every choice we make.

347. the simplicity of your blog Joost highlights the profoundness of what is shared. How often do we feel we do not have a choice, that life is set up in a way that we can only comply to? We have a choice, always, in every moment and it is these choices that make the life we live.

348. Thank you Joost for refreshing my memory of my responsibility to make responsible choices in every moment of my day for I am the one who has to live with these choices.

     1. Yes Roslyn, I made so many unconscious choices in the past and today I am feeling the result of them in my body, mainly the hardness and protection I have chosen. However, my body is supporting me to heal, to let go of these old ways, with very clear messages!

349. We have apps and technology today that count every step we make. But imagine if they recorded every choice we made? How many choices fill up our day, really isn’t the number endless? And if this app added up the quality of them all – what would your own reading look like? Well that is actually my experience of life, that life is constantly reflecting to us through its events just what our choices add up to. It is ever present and with us everywhere in a way that is so far beyond technology. Thank you Joost for this beautiful blog.

350. Years ago there was a time I felt helpless and that I did not have a choice. I now understand the deep truth of how this was still a choice, a choice I was making. With thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine the choices I now make are far more loving, embracing and empowering and no longer hold me in a place where I feel small, helpless or worthless.

351. As you so succinctly share here Joost everything we do starts with a choice. The choice either allows us to remain ourselves, vital, well and living a life of joy, or the opposite… feeling dull, miserable and craving stimulation. Therefore choices can either be a medicine or our undoing. We all feel the affects instantly. Love reading the choices you are making.

352. I love the clarity and detail you’ve brought within this blog – breaking it down, step by step, the responsibility in each and every moment. So simple – I love it!

353. Great choices you have shared. It’s beautiful how you have reflected how simple it is for us to just make a choice and keep making new choices to supports along the way. When we make a choice we just need to be responsible.

354. This blog highlights that we have many choices that we make. Everything begins with a choice but what is crucial is from where do we make these choices.

355. Making choices is saying yes to the connection to our feelings in our bodies and the power within. When we are consciously present the body can work with you in harmony.

356. To make a choice in every moment is to be present with ourselves, not just letting life roll on with out any stop to check the options, patterns or ideals and beliefs that are running the show. These options are often a default where we don’t get to question, we just go along in a fixed way,and life keeps repeating. This cuts out real choices, as Joost did in every moment to have an awareness in life and an opportunity to change patterns that don’t support us, even down to the quality of thoughts going round in our heads and the negative messages we are fed. Choosing to say no to these is choosing the quality you choose to be and evolve in.

357. To make even the simplest choice can be the foundation for the next choice, building a foundation for a life chosen not a life as a victim of circumstance, there is a vast difference. When you commit to supporting every move with a choice that holds your intention and the energy you choose to live you are supporting and saying yes to that quality in return. If you don’t choose it will be chosen for you without your consent, or choose and be responsible for your life and the person you are in continuing to evolve.

358. Self-Empowerment in poetry!

359. Our choice of quality determines the quality of our choices.

360. It’s my choice to be a student of myself if I so choose.

361. Could it be more simple? Could it be more true? We can of course choose to make it more complicated. We can of course choose to deny the truth. Or we can chose to read this brilliant blog again!

362. We all make choices every day in every moment. Whether we choose to make those choices from awareness or from disconnection makes all the difference in how the results of our choices manifest themselves in our lives.

363. CHOICE is the freedom of the moment we all have! Some argue that we do not in certain situations have a choice…but we do, how we are to respond to that situation is still a choice.

364. This is so beautifully expressed Joost as you show there is not judgement, right or wrong, it is simple a choice and in that a responsibility in what choice we make. It can come down to a loving choice that supports us to grow and evolve or a choice that that keeps us going round and round.

365. So many little reminders in this lovely blog and in the comments about the choices that we can choose in any given moment – choices that can either light or dull our expression in an instant.

366. This blog really shows the depth of choices that we make, it is very moment which unfolds the next moment. It’s like constantly coming to a point where we choose which road we will travel down next.

367. Yes Joost, and it was your choice to write this absolutely inspiring blog and present the power of choice in every moment.

368. It may seem like a lot of choices but every moment is a choice, even every breath is a choice – we can choose to breathe our own breath, or we can react to situations and breathe from that reaction… which means in every moment we have a responsibility in what we choose because it is our choice.

369. After reading this blog today I can appreciate the power of the choices we make to determine those to follow. We can change the path and quality of our lives be simply changing one choice and making all other in this light.

370. We do have choice, and it is a joy – it is what allows us to re-fresh our lives.

371. I have found that the most important choice I make is the way that I move. If my movements are gentle then the thoughts I have are gentle, and then the choices I make with food are gentle for my body, and the words that I choose to speak are in line with my gentleness. The quality I move in makes all my other choices easier.

372. ‘It is my choice to acknowledge the amazing, beautiful changes I have already allowed in my life by trying out what the teachings of Universal Medicine present to me.’ – I couldn’t agree more, applying these teachings in my daily life has changed my life to the extent that doctors and other medical professionals say it is impossible… we are living proof that true change is possible if we make the choice.

373. Great awareness on choices Joost – it is indeed your choice, my choice and everybody elses choice, whenever or whatever choice we are all making in our day to day living.

374. I agree, there are so many choices being made in every single moment, its amazing how we can make such a difference to life simply by choosing in every moment what we will do and how we will do it.

375. Yes, it is our choice what we do and how we do it everyday. It is great to be reminded of this through this blog. It also brings to light that there is no ‘following’ going on with Universal Medicine students as every moment we have a choice. This is super clear with this blog. Thank you Joost.

376. It is our choice to be – or not to be – love and to notice what comes next.

377. When I read through the choices I realized, yes and if I would now make those choices even when being in companie of others, when I would make those choices to concious presence instead of letting myself get distracted.

378. Feeling choices and the consequences of choices in our bodies supports us immensly to understand how we can best take care of ourselves and others.

379. It is great to stop and ponder on how many choices we make each day. There are soo many and way too many to count. By choosing how I move in each moment for me helps bring things back to my body. It is much more empowering to know we have a choice rather than thinking we have to go along with what is expected of us. It also means we have to take responsibility for our lives as well – after all we have no one to blame for our choices!!

380. I have been pondering on the significance of our freedom to choose, how we take this for granted. We may spend hours pouring over travel brochures when planning a trip away, but how much space do we allow with our ‘every day’ choices, the quality of how we are in each day, what we are bringing to all those around us, our movements, our contribution to life.

381. As I read your blog, Joost, I became aware of all the moments in my day, where I can feel I’m not making a choice, rather, I’m doing things the way I ‘normally’ do them. It became clear how easy it is to slip into a pattern, rather than allowing the space to feel into what it needed in each moment. Very inspiring, thank you.

382. Simply beautiful expansive and very empowering to read and know Joost thank you for sharing this awesome knowingness from a way of living inspired and lived by Serge Benhayon and it is our choice to appreciate this too.

383. Thanks Joost, that is a LOT of choices made every day… in every moment really there is something we are choosing, beginning with the quality of breath we choose in every breath.

384. So our choices are either a blessing or an imposition on those around us, bringing home the depth of responsibility we have, not only to ourselves but for all others, in the choices we make on a daily basis.

385. It is not only our life that changes for the better in response to the loving choices we make but everyone and everything we connect with throughout our day is touched in one way or another, giving them the opportunity to feel where they are at and to choose differently if need be.

386. Joost what amazing choices you are making, when you read through the choice to be loving, to be caring, to listen to your body, to eat what feels true it shows the power we have to make choices and the real difference they have on our lives.

387. This feels very empowering. No longer to cast blame against ourselves or others for decisions we have made and the consequences of those decisions whatever they may have been. Simply to acknowledge that these were our choices.

     1. I agree Elaine, it is far more empowering for us when we accept the responsibilty for our choices.

388. Free will can be both our greatest friend and our greatest foe, humanity has certainly explored the latter with relish.

389. “it’s my choice to study how I live life and to grow my relationships with people.”
     Studying how we live our life and relate to other’s, being a student of ourselves, is an amazing opportunity to observe without any sense of judgement, behaviours, patterns, ideals and beliefs that we have played out for many years – its a constant evolutionary process.

390. To know we have and can make a choice in every moment is one of the ultimate forms of freedom. Why do we not grow up knowing this, we do deep inside, but why is it not fostered and taught from a very young age throughout society? Could it be that there are unseen forces that want or try to control us to not let us know our true divine truth and glory.

391. There is no leeway for anyone reading this blog who wants to choose irresponsibility and deny everything is a choice, or more so first and foremost we choose the energy we align to and allow through us. Unless total denial that is, but still it’s a choice.

392. As much as we want to go into our heads and create complications and stories to distract ourselves from what we cannot help but feel, other planes of life and God’s love all around us, and maybe the unloving choices we have made that create misery, illness or disease in our body and life, the truth of the matter always is and has been, everything is down to our simple choice – to choose love or not.

393. I love the responsibility this is calling us to, nothing is left to chance or luck, that’s simply an excuse to not take responsibility for our lives and every move. In truth it’s sad that we have knowingly strayed so far away from our truth and divinity that we need to be reminded of this by Serge Benhayon, and blogs like this, but thank God we are.

     1. Great point Gyl – that nothing is chance or luck, bringing the responsibility back in every detail of our lives.

394. Having responsibility in life is a great way to get to know our true purpose and give us the time we need to really be ourselves. I am learning to enjoy this responsibility and not to shy away from it.

395. It is also my choice to read and appreciate your blog Joost. It is an amazing reminder that everything we do is about making choices, either loving or non loving.

396. With the understanding that everything we do does matters it is then very apparent that we have an important choice to make each moment, which we either make or not the choice is always ours.

397. Joost you have brought us a new level of awareness in how we live just one day of our lives and the power each choice can have. Choosing to be aware of the quality in which we drive our cars for example, the speed we go at, the awareness and consideration for other road users and so on has a massive impact on the world around us. There is so much we can choose to do that contributes to the society we live in, simple choices that go a long way.

398. Joost with your awesome blog you let us really feel that we have a choice in every moment! I love it as it shows also very simply the responsibility we have.

399. No one can deny the simplicity of what you present here Joost. Even if we don’t get to chose the activity we are about to do for example, we get to chose how to react, or not, to the situation, how to be, or not, with the others around us, how to feel, or not, about ourselves. There are choices to be made always, everywhere.

400. And to appreciate the choices that we make to be in alignment with who we are, rather than who we are only because we haven’t made a conscious choice to be so. To feel that appreciation with our cells so that they vibrate and shine with all the attention they are getting!

401. Dear Joost
     It’s great to explore the subject of choice and therefore, responsibility. The repetition of your writing highlights how we are faced with choices every moment of our days; all those little moments where we can choose from stillness or motion – to stop and feel how we engage with life or to do just do what we do without a conscious thought – make up what we call the quality of our life. And how our consciousness then affects every thing and every one around us. Everything we do matters.

402. We also choose whether we are to be disempowered or hold true to ourselves – and choosing disempowerment is to allow a control and domination of others, people or institutions (of people) to gain a foothold that can serve to perpetuate and magnify evil in this world. Therefore we can choose the responsibility of being aware and saying yes to all that develops greater equalness, greater connection and greater love, – or else we are saying yes to the opportunistic forces that seek to further the darkness and control that keeps so many in misery and suffering..

403. Our choices are our responsibility that for sure, the life we are living is a direct consequence of our choices.

404. Choice is a very powerful aspect of life on earth. Even if we are feeling persuaded to make a certain choice from others or even the thoughts running through our minds – we can always come back to the fact that we can choose. This brings in the responsibility, for we can never truly blame another for the choices we make as it was us who decided and acted on the choice. The power of choice is always with us, in each moment – and we can choose to be ignorant to this and go through life in functionality OR we can make better choices that understand movements, our thoughts and what energy we are choosing to align to.

405. Joost your blog is a powerful reminder of how it is our choice to honour our commitment to life which, in turn, honours all of humanity.

406. And behind every choice is a quality of energy in which we choose first of all. If we are choosing an energy in which we do things from our essence and that is honouring of ourselves and others, than the choices that we make are going to reflect the quality in which we chose in the first place.

407. The responsibility of choice is something we all have in common. Forget interests or hobbies or tattoos and clubs – every race, everyone with a heart beat makes choices in every moment. We don’t need to try and fit in with a certain genre or ‘type’ of person, by the blood running through our veins we have a choice to connect and be in the world, together.

408. Absolutely gorgeous Joost. A beautiful reminder that in every single moment we have a choice as to how we are in our quality of being and how that affects overall how we feel. Every choice builds on the next one, every choice is a step towards love or not.

409. This is a perfect and super simple example of how the last choice impacts the next choice, and that if we’re not present when making the present choice, that has a significant effect on the all. We’re not taught the enormity of this fact, despite it’s simplicity.

410. It is all up to us, each moment is a choice, our life is in our own hands, no one to blame here, Thank you Joost for making the choice to share this blog with us.

411. Choice is the key word – thank you Joost for this great and simple reminder. We do actually have a lot of choices in life, and though we cannot always choose what happens around us, we can certainly choose how we respond or react to it.

412. Awesome Joost. When you detail a day like that, we can’t help but accept that everything is an absolute choice. So inspiring!

413. Thank you Joost for laying this out so clearly that each and every choice is actually our choice and that even if we think we are not choosing or don’t have a choice it is still a choice. Thank you for the appreciation and beautiful reflection offered in this blog and thank you for choosing to share it.

414. I love this. As I read through all the steps in your day Joost, prefixed with your choice in the matter, I saw the power of living in this way. It is so common for us to just drift through the day stumbling from one thing to another without any real awareness of the steps, let alone sensing our choice. Your blog not only adds the possibility of a deeper sense of responsibility in life, but also the fact that there is a greater richness and connection to life when this level of responsibility is recognised and embraced.

415. Joost, your comment about getting into your car and pausing till you are ready to drive highlighted for me how much I can be in autopilot when I think I am connected. A powerful reminder of how deeply we can be in being present with all choices and how far we have to go in making this our way.

416. This blog beautifully presents in it’s simplicity that in every moment we have a choice and every choice is ultimately ours.

417. Sometimes we claim our choices as ours and sometimes we might blame it on another person, an event, the situation, on luck, on life, or on God. We don’t like to feel that what we may be experiencing in life is due to our previous choices… not a judgement, but simply an outcome.

418. It is my choice to read this every day and be reminded that each and everyone of us has a choice in every single moment and that we are then subject to what happens after each and every choice. Once we start to look at life this way, we can then start to choose differently if we so wish.

419. I love this Joost – it is very empowering, claiming your choices without any apology. Everything we do and how we do it is our choice. And your photo which shows such a strength and steadiness is reflective of the quality of your choices.

420. Beautiful Joost. Love is simply and very naturally a responsibility our hearts impulse us to choose.

421. Could it be every-thing we do is our choice?

422. Such a playful and claimed blog Joost, taking ownership and responsibility for each and every choice we make and the impact that it has on us individually but also as a whole. When we look at our life like this and acknowledge that where we are is because of every choice we make we start to realise that sometimes it is time to make other choices that are more loving.

423. I love this Joost, thank you, its very beautiful to read and what you say clearly demonstrates that we all have choices, we are not victims of life, our choices make our life what it is.

424. Wow! As I read this I could feel just how many choices I have in a day – and each one counts! How empowering to feel this.

425. ‘It is my choice to feel as awesome as I feel now due to all my choices.’ I had a huge smile when I read this – it is awesome to feel our awesomeness is due to all our choices.

426. It’s amazing to consider that everything we do is a choice…we often think in certain situations we don’t have a choice but in that we always can choose how to react or respond.

427. There are so many choices we make everyday, so we are more aware of than others.

428. A single choice in a single moment can have such a profound impact on our life – from each moment we build or we deconstruct, the choice is always ours.

429. There are thousands on choices, and one true choice. The true choice is love, and such a choice will lead to many other choices of the same quality.

430. oh how this opens things up amazingly! The choice to walk to what is next in front of us, with the openness and awareness that how we walk is the quality we emanate, and the quality we bring to what we do, this will change the world!

431. The way choices are laid out in this blog empowers us to know our choices are our own, so if they are not what we want, we can change them at any moment.

432. Some choices seem small, like what to eat for breakfast, or what time to go to bed, but thanks to the wisdom of Serge Benhayon I have realised those seemingly small choices add up to pretty large choices that bring purpose and meaning to life.

433. It is such a liberating thing when when we reach the understanding that absolutely everything that happens to us is a direct result of the choices we make and there is no such thing as fate or bad or good luck or coincidence.

434. We forget just how many choices we do make each day, and that we are not at the mercy of some invisible tyrant making us do bad things you our bodies, we actually have the power to choose.

435. It is my choice how I do all of these things – with love or otherwise and I make that choice many times a day.

436. Joost I agree that Serge Benhayon has shown and inspired us by lived example how much choice we actually have, and how every choice affects more than ourselves. He wears this responsibility lightly because his love for humanity brings purpose to each choice. The inspiration this brings is beyond words.

437. Very beautiful blog to read Joost. Yes, everything we do comes down to choice. This is a very empowering understanding to have and puts the responsibility of how we live our lives (choices) firmly in our own hands. Thank you for this affirming reminder that I can choose what sort of day I have each and every day.

438. Joost, I love how your blog invites us to be so much more aware of and responsible for our choices, to consider not just how my choices affect me, but how they affect all those around me, to open the door and become at one with the magic of life, to be inspired and to be inspiring.

439. We are constantly making choices; in every single moment of our lives a choice is being made as to the quality in which we live.

440. Choice is everything, it under rides how we are in life and therefore, how everything is around us. It is easy to take choice for granted, to under estimate the importance and significance of choice. I am now so much more aware of what I’m actually choosing, thanks to the teachings of Universal Medicine.

441. ‘It is my choice to get up when I do. It is my choice to look around the room and make eye contact with people as I’m walking to the exit’ …. love this! Isn’t it interesting how often we say ‘I didn’t see you’, when in truth, we don’t make the space to look. It’s our choice what we choose to see and when we choose to avert our eyes.

442. As I read your wonderful blog Joost I felt as if I was walking alongside you throughout your day and in doing so felt the deep care and love that you put into each choice, and how each choice you made supported the next and so on. You had me smiling and inspired at the same time as you clearly demonstrated that in every single moment we have a choice, and that choice has the power to change our day and change our lives.

443. Love the metaphor in this choice you list Joost: “It is my choice to take the road I’m driving on today.” This is the result of the ultimate choice to choose love, or choose every other route but.

444. Absolutely Joost, there is a choice to be made. Is it love or is it not? It can be fun applying this question to all manner of things and finding the most taken-for-granted things become actual moments of choice: love or not love. Even the way I tap the keyboard or cross my legs. This questioning is a great way to bring awareness back to our body and make the choice from there.

445. We often talk about choice as if we know what we’re talking about, and we often don’t look deeply enough. Joost presents choice plain and simply, there’s no escaping it, but we are responsible for the quality of each movement.

446. My choice – is now – and now – and now…

     1. Now! Now, Alex!

447. While we think we would pursue happiness, well-being, health, love… we actually make a whole lot of choices that produce misery. On one hand we can say that we don´t know better as we otherwise would act differently, but then we might also consider the possibility that we seek misery, not consciously necessarily, nevertheless for a purpose. For our human aspect the notion that there is a part of us, the spirit involved with our process of making choices is hard to grasp, the spirit doesn’t mind the outcome to be pleasure or suffering, it is about identification and thus ‘comfort’, against the constant pull to return to our true selves.

448. WOW thank you Joost, there is real freedom expressed in your blog a freedom that many have said no to. I used to also say No that level of freedom choosing not to see it, but now through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and family am I saying yes and understanding the power I have to choose and the impact of that decision. Great blog thank you Joost.

449. Thank you for so beautifully expressing how we have a choice in every moment and the choices we make flow on from each other so the quality we choose to live each day is our responsibility. It is all down to our choices and having observed the choices that Serge Benhayon makes and so freely shares has been life-changing as I have increasingly started to actively choose to make choices that honour and support me.

450. I know many times in my life I have wanted to point the finger outside of me and blame other people or circumstance or life for my dilemmas but through trial and error I have also discovered that it is the choices I make in every moment and the quality I choose to live in that actually counts the most, regardless of how it might appear on the outside.

451. What I love about this blog is that it lets you know that no matter how long we have been doing something a certain way, or how many habits or behaviours we have collected, we can change them in a moment.

452. So much wisdom and so simple. If we would truly live life knowing that everything is a choice we would embrace responsibility as the highest good and not constantly try to get away with our irresponsible choices looking at the outside for the quick fix or the one to blame. This blog is truly empowering.

453. Not making a choice, is also a choice. So it comes down to that everything in life is a choice. It just shows the level of responsibility we have, in each every moment.

454. Appreciating the power we have to make choices in every step is a choice to embrace responsibility. Thank you for demonstrating this truth Joost.

455. Thank you Joost your blog made it very clear that we are making choices all the time with absolutely every thing. Every moment we have a choice, a choice to be love or not, that really is our only choice and the more aware we become of the choice we are making at every moment whether we are loving or not begins to stand out.

456. Reading this again brings home the importance of every choice we make. We can either make our daily lives about drama and discontent or an opportunity to become more aware of ourselves and how we move through our day. When we focus on the quality of our movements and interactions we afford ourselves the opportunity to disengage with the usual stresses and anxieties in life. It is possible to turn the most mundane task into a living art, it just requires our total presence and immense care, which when achieved brings a light heartedness that can be enjoyed by everyone.

     1. “When we focus on the quality of our movements and interactions we afford ourselves the opportunity to disengage with the usual stresses and anxieties in life.” I love this Rowena, with the emphasis on the word AFFORD. it sums it up so beautifully because it is a choice that supports us moving forward, sometimes and something that we don’t always think we are worthy of, but in truth always are.

457. One day we shall understand the enormity of the power of movement. It will initially have to be taught in schools until we have remembered en masse that it is our movements that govern all of life. Eventually it won’t have to be taught because it will simply be known and what will be known or more accurately re-remembered is that how we move governs all of the choices that we will then be given and so choosing how to move is really our only choice.

458. Actually, “wow” isn’t enough. It is my choice to really stop, properly stop…and to accept this blog much deeper. In fact, I’m so stopped by it that I can hardly write! This blog is like a spark dropped into the middle of infinite field of fire crackers – it spreads across my whole life igniting every single aspect and corner. It is my choice to carry this blog with me throughout the day.

459. The space that this blog opens up in me…..wow!! It is my choice to re-read your blog as often as I feel life getting on top of me. It is my choice to re-read your blog every time I need to deepen my appreciation of the fact that we have it all already, waiting for the invitation, the opportunity…Thank you Joost (and I LOVE your name!)

460. Thank you, Joost, for highlighting how many moments of choice there are every day, that we are forever in the driving seat and absolutely responsible for the quality of our lives. Free will is a beautiful gift when we are aware of the ripple effects of the energy we choose.

461. Joost thank you for reminding us that everything in life is our choice. No matter if the consequence is something great or a disaster it has come from our choice.

462. After reading your article I love to make choices and get a deeper understanding of what I have chosen.

463. We make choices in every moment of our day, from the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep, and how we sleep is the direct result of all those choices. We can choose to be tender, appreciative, and loving and, more than anything, we can choose to re-connect with our innermost selves.

464. This blog really brings responsibility home and the fact that we are constantly choosing, even when we want to tell ourselves that we are not or we have no choice. Fact is we always have a choice.

465. There is no doubt about it Joost we are all the sum of our choices; our lives here today reflect all of our past choices. A great reminder thank you.

466. Poetically beautiful and powerful beyond belief. Life doesn’t ‘happen’ to us, we choose it, good or bad, no matter what. Hard to take for some, if not many, but a fact, nonetheless.

467. Thanks Joost. It certainly is a choice how we choose to express and allow what quality to pour out. It is a great commandment to choose how you want to live reducing the pain and struggle — re-creating just how much love you want for yourself and others around you.Inspiring blog Joost and look forward to part 2 of “It Is My Choice”.

468. The simplicity in this blog is a call for responsibility. To be aware that in every moment we are choosing something and that that something, affects everything, no exceptions.

469. So very clear and simple Joost, thank you.

470. Every choice sets us up for our next choice. This is empowering as we can learn to live life instead of being at the mercy of it.

471. I love the deeply confirming choice to commit to living life with care, love and responsibility, which is so beautifully shared here Joost. Thank you.

472. And it is not that we need to go through life saying it is my choice, but this blog brings into clear context how much choice we do have and the choice is always there to honour ourselves or not. Then, choice becomes a celebration of being alive and the myriad of expressions that we have at our command and can leave in our wake.

473. Thanks Joost. I love all your choices that led you to write this blog. There is something wonderful about the way you have listed all your choices in one day. It shows how we are actually responsible for every single moment of our day, everything is our choice whether we like the end result or not, or whether we are conscious of it or not (also our choice – ha ha!).

474. Joost, you are without doubt, a man who knows himself implicitly and have definitely made true choices for yourself as your photo absolutely reflects to us all. Thank-you for making the choice to share more of you with us all.

475. This blog beautifully shows the ridiculousness of our blame culture in which we wish not to be responsible for what happens to us. This clearly begins to expose how everything in our lives is due to a choices that we have made and are constantly making. Hugely empowering to realise that because of this we can also determine the quality of our own journey back through life.

476. I love the simplicity of this Joost and it highlights the responsibility that we have in each and every moment as to what choice me make, and consequently the impact these choices have on others.

477. Sweet, simple and powerful Joost. It was my choice to read this blog, and so glad that I did. It’s message is a reminder of the love or destruction we each wield in every single moment, with every single movement and choice.

478. Hi Joost, it is so true with every moment we are either choosing to accept love and be fully present with our self or not. It is really our personal relationship with love. When we observe another making choices that are not so loving we need not take it personally as it is their rejection of love not of us.

479. The example of preparing for and driving your car Joost is such a great one. If you were not to do this with conscious presence, then the way you drive would also reflect this, how you arrive at your destination and then the rest of your day, would all be laced with the lack of presence, care and love and vice versa. So every choice affects the next.

480. One choice can have a massive impact on our life and those around us, and so when we make a choice for ourselves, we are making a choice for all.

481. Everything is a choice – how we think, move, act and breathe in every moment. It is important that we consider our choices in each moment very carefully for each choice, therefore every moment, offers us an opportunity to either act lovingly or harmfully – and each choice will return to us an equal measure of that love or harm we chose.

482. “It is my choice to wait with starting the car till I’m ready to drive”….I played with this one yesterday and loved it – I loved the opportunity it created to say, I can choose when I am ready to drive. But I kept forgetting and going into automatic mode and just jumping in and starting the car. Then I stopped it, sat and when I was ready, I started the car. A powerful piece of writing, thank you. I will keep playing with this in all aspects of my life.

483. After reading your blog Joost, “it is my choice” is re-sounding in my head, a continual reminder that there are no true isolated moments — only the flow of energy as one choice leads to another. Viewing life as a continuum of choices gives us a spontaneity and vitality and ability to be present with whatever we are doing.

484. We all deeply know that choices we make not only impact our own lives but also impact all we are with this world. Would it not then mean that the responsibility is ours to bring awareness to all that we do through the choices we make? It is not love that we all truly are naturally at ease with?

485. The momentum of our lives is set by the choice we make in each moment this is magnified in the world = thank you Joost for reminding us all that we do make a difference in our livingness in the world, in our own lives, and in our interactions with others.

486. Joost I love the style of your blog and it is a great reminder that everything I do in every single moment is my choice.

487. Choice is what makes our life what it is, and it is choice that will change it if we so choose.

488. Throughout my life I have often had the sense that we all have a choice, have free will, but just as often did not exercise my right to make choices with this awareness. As now I realise that even when we think we are not choosing or we do not want to choose or there is no point in making a choice, a choice is being made regardless. And that in the world of energy, one that we are all a part of as we are energy, there are no maybes or I don’t know or can’t be bothered or leaving it to chance or whatever’s, there is only ‘yes’. We either choose with awareness to say yes to what feels true or we say yes to everything else that is not of our truth. As with this we allow whatever else other than our truth run our lives. Serge Benhayon in an inspiration to no end through how he lives and with what he presents, of the true fulfilment that is possible for every single person when we make a choice with awareness, from our connection to Soul, from who we are in essence.

489. A great blog, Joost, how very true it all is, it is our choice how we do everything and our choice as to how we do everything. I love this one “It is my choice to let myself be inspired”. Now that is an inspiring choice. It has been said that every choice can be one that either heals or it harms, so how important it is to be very mindful of the choices that we make. So let us be inspired by the choice to do everything in a way that is healing, and avoid choosing anything that will harm us or anyone else.

490. Serge Benhayon lives his life in a way that shows us it is not merely his life but the lives of us all that are transformed when we choose to make love our guiding light and responsibility the ground upon which we walk.

491. This is beautiful Joost, thankyou. Responsibility has never looked nor felt so gorgeous. At the end of the day, it is our choice whether we choose to see and thus live, the truth we each hold deep within.

492. Such a solid reminder Joost that every move we make is a choice.
     This is a simple truth; yet something that is over looked and we miss the connection of what we do is always our choice and our responsibility. The simplicity of what you share would be a wonderful way to share with children from a young age, that what they do is always their choice and then they would be able to feel and appreciate what the flow on affect of their choices are.

493. Joost this is super cool, thank you and it is my choice to read it and connect to the claimed Love that you are choosing on a daily basis which is a reflection of what I am choosing too. It is my choice to choose Love and live this in all that I do with everyone and the Universe. The best choice I have ever made and keep choosing. It is my choice to make my choices and be inspired by Serge Benhayon and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom.

494. Gorgeously said Joost. In every moment of the day we all are making choices, whether we are aware of it or not. What you have highlighted so beautifully is that it is only ourselves that holds the responsibility for the quality of the lives we are living. When we choose to connect to ourselves we then make choices with the awareness of what supports us to live who we are with all we are with and what does not.

495. Gorgeous, Joost, you just gave a practical day-to-day meaning to the word responsibility.

496. One of the very powerful life changing things that I have learnt from presentations by Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon is that I have a choice in every moment, that I am not a victim of circumstance and that where I am at today is a result of all of my choices. Some days I sit is such appreciation of my choices and where they have led me and other days I sit and think to myself, oh whoops, somewhere along the way I must of got distracted and took the scenic route or the road less travelled and I need to get myself back on the track that feels right for me. The wonderful thing is, every track is right and there is no wrong or right, just what feels right for me at any given moment and that is just another choice.

497. We have choice after choice after choice all day long and so often we check out, and are not present enough that we are actually making choices even if we are not aware. Not choosing is still a choice. It is a choice to be irresponsible and their is a level of then saying I didn’t realise or I wasn’t aware but even that is a choice.

498. In life everything is a choice – from the way to move and breath to the way you talk, eat, dress or sleep. When someone chooses to make these responsible, loving choices they not only support themselves but also provide a reflection of those choices to the majority who make unloving or irresponsible choices.

499. Thank you Joost, life is all about a choice we are either align to something greater within or we don’t. it is just our choice.

500. So true, my life can only be as it is by the choices I make. Whether they are great or not so great choices is solely up to me.

501. I have learned that how I relate to life absolutely comes down to the choices I make in each and every moment. When I build a rhythm that is consistent in terms of gentleness this supports with how I see every situation and gives me the space to look at it and read it for what it is rather than go straight into reaction. Creating space helps me to be consistently steadier and not get so pulled about by life. So yes every choice counts from the way I choose to move my body in the morning when I get out of bed, to going about my daily tasks and interactions and the way I choose to put myself back to bed at night. it all builds a momentum that can take me either one way or another depending on the quality I choose to do it all in. This of course can be felt by every single person I have contact with and so is a responsibility not just to myself but for everyone else too.

502. Simple and so true – no escaping the fact that our life is a culmination and outplay of every choice we have made, no one else, and really it comes down to us choosing love or not.

503. So really what you are saying is everything in every moment of our lives is a choice, and if we don’t make that choice who does, because it certainly isn’t us.

504. Joost I love it, it is your choice, it is my choice and it is all our choices. The choice of the way we live, the choice in the way we are with ourselves and others is down to us. We can choose things that help us expand and enjoy life or we can choose things that destruct our lives. Your story shows how its possible to choose a full loving life in every sense.

505. Joost – the choices we make are everything. This is just beautiful and reflects again how what we have in our hands at every moment is choice. We cannot be the victim or circumstances or the controller – because it simply comes back to a choice. Is the choice supportive or not. Black or white. How very simple life is if we live to this purpose.

506. Many of us live as if we are a victim to our circumstances and the world owes us when in fact we are making choices every moment which determine the type and quality of life we live. Most of us do not want to know this simple truth as we are not willing to take the level of responsibility that comes with it.

507. It is my choice if I get sick, as this is the end result of earlier choices. Imagine if we take this level of responsibility for every choice we make knowing that it will always have a consequence even if not immediate.

508. Not a day goes by where I don’t appreciate Serge Benhayon for reminding me that I am constantly making a choice. If I am not making choices that support my soulful expression, I am turning my back on God, love, and a truth that unites us all.

509. It’s so empowering to acknowledge that everything we do comes from a choice we make, bringing it to the smallest detail as you have Joost. We are the masters of our own lives, not the victims of it.

510. That we are each making choices in every moment, even if we think we are not, brings a huge level of responsibility to our lives. Choices always have consequences, good or bad, the lives we lead are a result of our choices – life does not happen to us. The responsibility while huge, is also empowering as we do have a choice.

511. All of this is true and I can feel how this has helped me refocus on things that I was allowing to slide rather than knowing it is my choice. Thank you.

512. I love every single word of this blog. I love it because I can feel you in every word Joost and the love you have for yourself and others. Love is taking responsibility for our choices because as you say so correctly, it is our choice to do what we do and live as we do.

513. Your extensive list really makes it clear that we have a choice every moment of our lives and it also means that we have an enormous amount of responsibility for what we do and how we do it.

514. There is an absolute stillness in your blog Joost and when I was reading it I could feel my shoulders dropping. There is complete acceptance and simplicity in the understanding that everything is a choice. Reading this made me feel that each moment is one that we can choose, how beautiful is that.

515. It is my choice which kind of energy I choose, which then will guarantee the following choices.

516. I love the simplicity and spaciousness this blog offers. Thank you Joost.

517. Thank you, Joost for sharing all the opportunities we have in a day to make loving choices or not. It is all about self responsibility and this is the same for everyone so really there is no blaming of another if the results are not he desired ones. When we do not make a choice , we are still choosing something.

518. And without connecting to the fact that we have a choice in each and every moment, it then feels as though life happens to us – like we are flotsam in an ocean out of our control.

519. And it is my choice to read this super simple but oh so powerful article – thank you so much Joost for expressing so clearly how in each and every moment, we have a choice.

520. There is no choice other than one’s own choice. To believe otherwise is to consciously or unconsciously live disempowered and under the thrall of another person, a system or the ideas and beliefs of another.

521. “It is my choice to appreciate the amazing, beautiful example of living life the way Serge Benhayon lives his life and how this is for me.” Such a beautiful blog – thankyou Joost. I too am inspired by Serge Benhayon and all he offers – and he leaves it up to us to choose how to live our way.

522. Why choose re-connection, and why have we chosen to live a life in re-connection, or why choose to be re-connected to love, because if our chosen choice is to choose love then by lovingly choosing by choice love, it will build by magnetic pull bring more love, what a choice! We are love and saying yes to be re-connected to ‘who we are’ is such a great choice. If we are not saying yes to love then we are saying yes to not being ‘true love’ by default.

523. Love, love, love this Joost. We all make choices constantly- but what is it we choose? To harm or to heal ourselves – and others?

524. So often we go through life thinking we don’t have choices, which in my own experience gives us a reason or excuse to blame others or our circumstances for things that we experience in life. The thing I’ve found is how empowering and freeing accepting responsibility for my choices really is!

525. Do we really have a choice… Are you sharing with us that everything is indeed a choice Joost? I like your writing style Joost, it makes me smile. Over the years I’ve been experiencing the same. That indeed we’re the masters of our own life. For me the most interesting part to learn is when a choice is made from Love or when it isn’t. The end result might be the same, behaviour wise, but the quality of the result is very different. One fullfills me and the other one is actually draining. And the wonderfull thing in life is that the choices keep refining themselves. It never ends.

526. I remember when I was struggling with being a mum and someone said to me it was my choice, as it absolutely was and it helped me to take responsibility for that choice instead of wallowing in my struggle.

527. It is curious that it so often doesn’t feel like a choice that we are in the flow of something that makes that choice for us which is in fact true the real choice is the energy you flow with, be that love or be that not love. Universal Medicine is sharing why we make the choices we do with such clarity and love that it really does unlock the universal love that is there waiting to be tapped into.

528. This is powerful. As I was reading I could feel I was re-claiming something back deep within me. My choices. I have made in the past very unloving and disregarding choices, with deep appreciation to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, who you rightly say are where they are today by the incredibly loving choices they have made, and have helped me change my disregarding and unloving choices to ones on love. The ripple affect of these loving choices is now very tangible in my life. However, there are always more loving choices to be made, this is ongoing and for true evolution. Thank you for writing this and stating very clearly how we live is our choice and no one else’s!

529. There have been many times in my life when I have complained that I did not like some part of it, believing that it was happening to me and that I was a victim of it, not realising that actually I was contributing to it by all the little choices I was making in my day. Universal Medicine has reminded me that I am the one responsible for the quality of my movements and the quality of my choices every day which means that I am the one ultimately responsible for how my life turns out.

530. What a simple and beautiful reminder of the choices we make in every moment which lead to every action, reaction and or thought. How in control are we? Absolutely we are and your sharing here Joost confirmed that so powerfully.

531. This blog reminds me of how often I can slip into auto-pilot and just move and behave in a way simply because it is familiar without really stopping and checking the quality of how I am moving. Life is a series of movements and we always have the ultimate say in the quality of these movements which then add up to what we call our life and the quality of our overall life.

532. It can be challenging to consider that we have the power, the will to choose, in every way. Regardless of our current circumstance or situation, we can chose how we respond to it, express, move and breath, all of these and more have a significant impact on how we feel and so what comes next can be deeply altered. My life and experience of it has deeply changed though building choices of love and self-care.

533. Thank you for this Joost, it brings a sense of ease and an acceptance that you have with the fact that everything is our choice. The world is geared as such to have us not be aware of our choices but live however without ever stopping to question it’s quality. But blame doesn’t get us anywhere but going around in circles, only by taking the reins of our life through these everyday choices does anything truly change.

534. I usd to think that I was a victim of circumstance, my emotions, my childhood, I have become aware that everyday in every moment, I am making choices to either be responsible or not. This has utterly altered how I live and experience life. This is a profound gift that I feelI received when I first heard Serge Benhayon present, Universal Medicine is deeply inspiring.

535. How powerful our choices are as your blog clearly shows Joost. Thank you.

536. The liberation of knowing we have a choice, I have not been the same since I truly considered that I have a choice in this life.

537. It’s the classic ‘human condition’ to feel that things happen to us, that we’re the victim when things ‘go wrong’ … when in truth, there are consequences with every single choice we make, it’s that simple. A beautiful reminder for us to bring awareness to what we are really choosing.

538. Having our daily choices explained to us by our relationships with our bodies has become a very humbling way to live, and having the teaching and presentations of Serge Benhayon has been an amazing and very eye opening experience that is very much something I will always continue to develop forever.

539. Just love how empowering your beautiful blog is, Joost, thank you. There is such a gentleness in the way your write, how you show the canvas of life stretches before us, full of potential and it’s absolutely and completely our choice what path we walk, how we walk it and what we can bring to our walk, always.

540. If we really stopped and consider this article we can never blame another for anything ever as we would know that we are always responsible for every single choice and movement we make.

541. You’ve emphasised just how many choices we make in the period of one day Joost, and it’s very interesting to consider and appreciate the difference between making all of those choices in issues, exhausted, in disregard, comparison and so forth, and making them to support ourselves and others.

542. Wow powerful article and powerful message that I totally agree with.

543. You are so right Joost, every moment of every day with everything we do is a choice. The choices made will either evolve us or leave us in a false illusion of comfort.

544. The power and acknowledgement of our choices brings amazing appreciation and responsibility in every moment. This allows a freedom and space in our lives lived as who we are in full. Thank you Joost beautiful.

545. Everything is a choice – that leaves no space for not being responsible or said differently, being irresponsible is also a choice we are responsible for.

546. Incredible to read Joost…how in fact every moment is our choice and actually how seldom we acknowledge or appreciate this fact.

547. So what you are saying here is that every moment of everyday we have a choice.

548. It is indeed all about choices upto the detail, if….you choose it. What we might say or think, it is in the end our personal responsibility to choose whether we want to get a deeper understanding of what is said here or not.

549. Dear Joost, thank you. This is like a prayer for me in honour of myself and my connection to God and my love and care for everybody, my fellow brothers.

550. It was my choice to read, smile and enjoy your gorgeous blog Joost.

551. Joost I so love how you have made the choice to bring to us the awareness that everything is our choice, right down to the minute details, and I am so glad I made the choice to read your blog this morning – it brings home where the responsibility lies. Thank-you.

552. This is very simple but very profound to highlight everything is in our hands Joost, when we understand that everything has been a result of the choices we make.

553. I loved reading this blog as it really brings home the responsibility of being present whilst going about our day and the fact that we have a choice every step of the way, and that nothing is left to chance.

554. By the look of your picture Joost, it is undeniable the positive impact these choices have had on your life trying out what the teachings of Universal Medicine present.
     I for one have also experienced first hand the huge impact Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon has had in my life from choosing to live more of me in full which forever will be a work in progress.
     I never knew what true love was until I chose to know and forever I will deeply appreciate the reflections of the Benhayon family that I choose to have in my life.
     Thank you Joost as claiming yourself here in what you choose in your life has helped me be more wiser what I choose in every single step.
     Everything is in fact a choice which our bodies clearly demonstrate this truth.

555. “all the choices Serge Benhayon has made to be where he is today.” Serge is the ultimate example we have of what it means to make that one initial choice, to be true to himself and all that he is. And look at the enormity of what this one man has brought to humanity, from all those amazing choices thereafter.

556. Joost I love the way you’ve written this blog, it leaves no doubt to any reader that every single choice, is what we make our life to be. A very powerful illustration, thank you.

557. I love how this blog is a great reminder that we actually do have a choice in every single moment of our lives. Faced with a very annoyed and frustrated person yesterday, there was some tension that instantly came into my chest and my breathing felt quite constricted. Simply making the choice to feel the tension and choose to be with my own breath allowed me to choose to remain open rather than choosing to be in reaction, which would have magnified further reactions. One choice changes everything.
     Prior to attending Serge Benhayon’s presentations I chose to shut down and not feel (although not knowing this was a choice at the time) and the anxiousness then stored away in my body.

558. Cracker Joost. Such is free will.

559. Joost, what a very simple, brilliant article, I love how you show that everything is a choice, so there can be no blame of anyone or anything – it is all down to our choices. This is very empowering for us knowing that we can make our life how we want it to be and we can feel amazing if we choose to.

560. When absolute choice is taken in to consideration, then perhaps we also need to look at all the choices we make which lead us away from the truth of who we are. And, without judgement or a need for perfection, slowly start to increase those choices that confirm you, saying yes to the opportunities they present, so that when life seems hard and full of distraction, you can honestly say that that is not you, and begin again with small confirming choices back to yourself once again.

561. Thank you Joost for claiming that every decision you make in your daily life is a deliberate, purposeful choice. I never really appreciated the choices that are available to me every day until I met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Up until that point I felt I didn’t have a choice, I felt weighted down by the monotony of daily life and the state of my health. Through his living example and wise presentations, Serge encouraged me to experiment and create options for myself. These options can support or sabotage me – the choice is mine. Thankfully I have become aware of the choices that support my health, my well being, my marriage and my friendships immensely, so I make these choices the foundation of my daily life with astounding results. Every moment of our lives we have a choice, even in the times when we feel we do not. Holding true to our tender, innate wisdom and loving hearts is a forever choice.

562. This writing comes with so much fullness, it nourishes me. And the way of living you reflect, Joost, leaves no space for emptiness. Feeling how responsible we are and appreciating the freedom that goes along with it, is the key.

563. The ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ mentality ignores the fact that every choice we make has an impact, and we will be less likely to be bothered tomorrow if we were not bothered today. All the little things that we dismiss as not mattering actually do.

564. It is indeed all about choices. We dis-empower ourselves when we say we have no choice, but we always do.

     1. We are not taught the detail of what our choices are in life. We are not reminded that the way we open a door or make breakfast or speak to another is all in fact our choice. It is the quality of how we are in these choices that dictate our steadiness in making the bigger choices.

565. What is presented by Serge Benhayon for us to consider is that we have a choice between two energies, prana and fire, spirit and soul. Interestingly this choice is not made by our minds, as we commonly would think but with our bodies – that for me is a paradigm shift and a challenging proposition as we do not get taught how to choose with our body, but only how to select from the choices in our minds.

     1. That is the amazing thing about Serge Benhayon, that he teaches us a completely new way of how to make a choice. Something (previously to meeting him) I had not even considered, is that I could make a choice from my body rather than the mind. All the techniques Serge Benhayon introduced me to support me back to the wisdom of my body and its amazing ability to choose energy.

566. Nothing is just there, it is a freedom to get to see that we have this choice in every moment, as so often we are told, and think, that life is just happening to us. While it is in truth very different, we need to make a choice to live the life we like to live, and if it is miserable we should take the responsibility to feel that we are also choosing that.

567. It is so simple, we always have a choice, in every moment of the day.

568. For years i lived feeling like i was the recipient of life, that i was its victim.
     The living responsibility that is presented by Universal Medicine is hugely empowering, i am no longer the victim of circumstance but the lived mass of my choices.

569. What you write Joost is very empowering as there are so many people in this world that feel they do not truly have a choice and ended up in circumstances that they, “could they choose again” would change. What you are offering here is that there is a way to “choose again differently” however we also have a responsibility to bring balance to everything that we have done due to previous choices and that we do need to accept and that is why sometimes we feel like we do not have a choice.

570. There was a time when i used to think that responsibility was savoured for different compartments of my life, my role at work, the way I look after my children, paying the bills or driving my car but today thanks to the life changing work of Serge Benhayon is see that we are responsible for every breath, thought and movement there after.

571. It is my choice to read these words and be inspired to appreciate all the choices I have made as I reconnect to who I truly am in The Way of The Livingness presented by Serge Benhayon.

572. Every move, every step, every thought is a choice. Knowing this gives us the choice in what quality we want to do everything. There is no ‘just happened’ or ‘bad luck’ or ‘chance’. I found that how I choose to move every moment of the day impacts greatly on how I am feeling in every moment of the day.

573. ‘Make today a day of love, for tomorrow is but a mere momentum of what today is for you.’
     A quote from Serge Benhayon that beautifully sums up the momentum of our choices – thank-you Joost for delivering this pure and simple fact in your own words.

574. What this blog reveals is that we make so many choices in just one day that we can choose to change gears at any time regarding our choices. Knowing this works in our favour if we feel that the choices we have made so far do not really work for our evolution.

575. What Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon teach us about choices is absolute priceless. It is pure gold. There is a whole science behind something we do all the time without even being conscious of it.

576. Thank you. The little choices done in appreciation and considering everybody else are making a huge difference.

577. Humanity has a deep down understanding that we are actually solely responsible for everything which happens in our lives and in our world and it is a tension each one of us lives with each moment in each day; the anger and many emotions we see are a result of reacting to that understanding. Great blog Joost – to deliver us from this tension, anguish and misery.

578. Our choices do make a tremendous difference. They create a momentum that can help us or not as we walk in life and bump into new situations that require further choices.

     1. So very true Eduardo. Our many many finite choices add to either support us or not when those larger ones come our way. But the only choice at the end of the day is are we breathing our own loving breath or are we breathing what the world imposes on us.

579. We make decisions/choices all the time. This is out of the question. The problem arises when the decisions we make do not make sense from the point of view of our entire wellbeing. We can make decisions in one direction only (wellbeing for example), and we can also make decisions in the opposite direction. We can mix as well. Since our choices are only a reflection of the quality of our state of being and the real intention behind them, this is where we have to work on.

580. You highlight and deliver with power and grace how we are responsible for all and everything in our lives.

     1. This is very clear from this blog. That all the small choices in their detail actually contribute to the whole picture of how we feel and are in life and what takes place for us.

581. This is beautiful reminder of how powerful we are. We are making decisions/choices all the time.

582. That is truly inspiring Joost, to just nominate that all the choices you make are made by yourself and by no one else. I can feel the power of confirmation and appreciation for oneself in that, and that makes it so beautiful, as beautiful as you are.

583. Every single movement we make is a choice and each one lays the foundation for the next. We are absolutely responsible for the quality of our lives.

584. Making loving choices is a daily exploration of living life and one I am deeply inspired by, appreciate and enjoy everyday. Simply beautiful Joost thank you.

585. Joost choices are an every second aspect of our lives as you share, they are the detail and threads that make up the pattern or fabric of our life. The issue so many of us have, and are in need of dealing with or working on, is acceptance of the emerged pattern on the ‘cloth’, since many of us don’t enjoy the pattern created for ourselves, and even more, may want or force another person to change and have a different pattern based upon their own which they themselves don’t like (!) In comparison there is never any ease, only tension. Self-acceptance brings the ease, to allow an easyful way to be with our own and another’s choice.

     1. That is an interesting way of presenting the choices of others and how we often don’t like anothers choice. At the latest Universal Medicine retreat in the UK it became very clear that we are making choices either to reject love or saying yes to love in that it is impossible to be rejected by someone else’s choice as it is never personal it is always about their relationship to love, not you. Through our own ability to say yes to love will give us the acceptance of when we say no and be able to observe those around us also.

586. Indeed Joost, choice is personal, and lays the foundation of the subsequent choice to rest on, to build a platform. When the choice is a quality choice or a considered one, that platform or foundation becomes solid. When it’s not (of quality) then so too becomes the foundation that eventually starts to wear. This quality and foundational aspect is what I find Serge Benhayon has taught me, and presented through the way he lives his own life and that the solidness in foundation for oneself allows that to be with another too. Choices define the type of life we end up living and leading, and their impact upon the physical frame too as well as vitality levels.

587. It just came to me that I have been sucked into an ideal and belief that as part of life we have to drag around a heavy chain (called responsibility) and our mission is to loosen and drop off a few links along the way until we are left weightless and free. The big question is why don’t we stop seeing responsibility as a heavy chain and just let that belief go? The choice is ours!

588. Joost I love this – “It is my choice to feel as awesome as I feel now due to all my choices.”

589. Even though Serge has been forever presenting the importance of living life responsibly and that we are, in fact, responsible for all our choices, that with every choice we make we have two options – we can choose to heal or to harm, I have found it is much easier said than done. BUT I do know and understand that this simply boils down to me making the choice to go for it and stop dragging the chain!

590. It is our choice whether to accept the teachings of Serge Benhayon through Universal Medicine – thank goodness there are people who have chosen to, as the world feels to be a greater place for it.

591. Thank you, Joost. I can never be reminded enough that I have choices and am making one constantly, at every moment, even when I am not aware – which in itself is also my choice.

592. Everything in life involves choices. The choice to breathe our own breath or allow an outside energy to breathe us forth, and from here the quality of how things are done and what will be done is already chosen.
     It all has a consequence. I am deeply appreciative of Serge Benhayon who teaches that everything is made up of energy and therefore everything is because of energy. I now know I have a choice which energy I choose in every moment.

593. You have so beautifully shared the ‘secret’ elixir of life Joost – simply by accepting and claiming that every choice is ours – so simple, so full of love and so profoundly powerful. Very inspiring, thank you.

594. The power and truth that everyday we choose everything. We can think that either life is happening to us (and maybe feel like a victim even though it is actually a choice) or be empowered by our choices. There is really no moment we do not make a choice.

595. Our lives are full of choices. I can relate to this .” It is my choice to rest my body, go to bed and fall asleep when I do.”. I have been more aware of the choices I have been making and how they can support my truth.

596. Joost- what a lovely blog pointing out that we have so many choices in each day moment to moment and depending on the choice it has a consequence – one that expands and evolves us or one that dulls, protects and holds us back.

597. Joost, such a lovely blog to read, highlighting that EVERYTHING is a choice that WE make in each moment of our lives. We are the initiators of our lives and everything that happens to us is because of our choices, and there are no victims.

598. I love it Joost. Before Universal Medicine I never really felt I had a choice, that life was the way it was and it was not possible to make changes. Now I know this not to be true, through loving choices that you talk about we naturally begin to make changes first within ourselves and then like the ripples on the water this can then inspire others to make different choices in their lives.

599. We are presented with series of continuous choices in life and we are therefore responsible for every single one of our choices. When you break your day down showing us everything that you do is a choice is very exposing and highlights our level of responsibility in our every movement and how that can impact ourselves and others. To be aware of how connected, loving and gentle we are with every single one of our choices is key to living with love and expressing truth. It is incredible to know we are responsible for all our choices because it leaves no room for blame or irresponsibility.

600. Love it Joost, so many small choices along the way, we can’t run from our responsibility.

602. There are a million choices every day, and I make every single one of them – this is what defines the way that I live… each and every moment.

603. When broken down like this it really highlights the responsibility we have in each moment to choose and the power to create the life we want…. and it is gorgeous to be reminded of how deeply empowering this can be.

604. Love it Joost! Very clearly showing that every choice we make is ours and we can either choose differently or continue to choose the same. I also love what Serge Benhayon reflects and presents as he does, from a body that has lived the loving evolving choices he has made.

605. It is the quality of the choices we are making that makes the difference to how we experience life. Every choice we make has an effect on ourselves, others and our environment.

     1. Very true Victoria, it is not just about us: ‘Every choice we make has an effect on ourselves, others and our environment’.

606. Joost, beautiful, confirming and very powerful – it is our choice always. What I love about what you share is it clearly shows how each choice builds the next and the next, and no matter what is going on around us, we have a choice in what and how we are.

607. Joost your blog really highlights the fact that in every moment we have a choice and the responsibility we each have in the choices we make.

608. There are no victims everything is a consequence of our choices it is us that make the choices that precede the consequences we sometimes complain about. We are responsible for making choices every moment of every day. Thankyou for the reminder of this Joost.

609. It can be both ridiculously confronting and ridiculously freeing to realise that we have this amount of choice. Confronting in the fact that you can’t blame anyone or anything (and we do a LOT of that in this world – speaking from personal experience) but incredibly freeing when you realise that you do have a choice and can choose to support or not. Great blog Joost – thanks for taking the time to write this.

610. Love this Joost – ‘It’s My Chioce’ – simple and beautiful, one choice leads to the next.

611. “It is my choice to acknowledge the amazing, beautiful changes I have already allowed in my life by trying out what the teachings of Universal Medicine present to me.” Absolutely, and wonderful that you have chosen to try out what these teachings presented. I too have chosen to try out choices that have been presented, have made such changes to the way that I now live my life in such a positive loving way, but it has purely been up to my choice to do this. I have learned so much through taking full responsibility in how I choose to do everything that I now choose to do. I have become aware of the fact that I am making choices, rather than just living in the reactive way that I had previously been living.

612. Just profound Joost! We make so many choices in a day! We don’t give a second thought to things like closing the door when we leave the house, locking the car, putting our shoes on, and there are many other choices which we make which we may not be aware of, how did we choose to walk? how did we choose to love ourselves and our partners?

613. Love it, Joost, as you say, everything, absolutely everything that you do comes down to your choice. No one else is telling you what to do. And whatever way in which we choose to live, comes down to all the moment to moment choices that we choose to make. A great sharing here, and food for thought for all of us to realise how important it is to choose wisely when we make all these myriad of choices.

614. Thanks Joost – I made the choice as I was reading to enjoy and appreciate every word of your blog! Choice is always there – even when we are feeling miserable and caught up in complications, it is still a choice. It brings responsibility right to the forefront as there is no one else we can blame or pass the credit to for things that happen to/with us. There are consequences for every decision we make.

615. Every choice we make has the possibility of inspiring another – I’ve felt lately how when I walk and cross the road, cars are driving through and people are following the way I’ve walked…if I’m present and connected with myself, they get to feel that, which can inspire them to do the same. If I’m checked out, then they get exactly that which keeps them disconnected from themselves and others.

616. The power of a choice is to choose, rather than be chosen.

617. Everything does come down to a choice, doesn’t it Joost. Often people say ‘but I have no choice?’ in relation to something that seems challenging or difficult. But there is always a choice if we are willing to see that, and be prepared for the consequences or possible fall out from that choice. Saying we have no choice is falling into being a victim to circumstances and not wanting to see how we are responsible for ever thing.

618. I am so glad you chose to write this blog Joost and remind us all that there is no facet of life we are victims of. We are constantly constructing the world we live in with our moment by moment quality. So we choose the way of the world ultimately. This gives a whole new sense to the idea of construction work – for we are all builders in this world.

619. Appreciating the consequences of choices is something I am bringing into my life more and more. Consequences are either truly supportive for both myself and those around me or they are not.

620. Life is all about choice and even being willing to take responsibility for our choices is a choice. When we are aware of this fact, there is no possibility of blaming anyone or anything else. Great blog thank-you, Joost and thank-you too, to Serge for all his presentations and words of wisdom that come from his own way of living and that we have the opportunity to consider and choose as our way of living or not.

621. There really is a choice in every moment, even if it may not seem apparent at first. Great to bring awareness to this and how we are constantly shaping our lives.

622. Brilliant Joost, because it is real, this is true – we make choices every single split second and it is ‘my choice’, so it must be ‘my responsibility’ as I am the one who has been choosing. Therefore if you look at the world – all we need to say : It is time to take responsibility for our choices, not only the choice practically itself, but also the energy that comes with it.

623. Joost, thank you for confirming with such simple clarity that, the life we live is the result of the choices we make. The answer to all these choices can and is felt in the body first. Our choice means we either choose to heal or to harm with each choice we make. Serge Benhayon through the way he chooses to live his life and through the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom has shown how to be true to ourselves through the choices we make – I deeply appreciate all that has been shared.

624. Joost, you so beautifully explain the responsibility we each have in every moment. We are not victims of life and there is no such thing as luck. Our lives are based on how we live, the responsibility we take and the choices we make.

625. Each moment is a choice and each one is quite powerful. Each choice is powerful as it paves the way for the next moment.

626. And whats also true is that it’s my choice to agree with you and choose the same for myself.

627. Absolutely true Joost…’It is my choice to acknowledge the amazing, beautiful changes I have already allowed in my life by trying out what the teachings of Universal Medicine present to me.’

628. I love to read your choices and the fact that they’re all absolutely yours! It is confirming and revealing that we are actually choosing! Choosing the level of love and care in our own life. And in the end, choosing to align to the Love of Our Soul and Our Father. Which can only be felt and requires a certain movement through life. The exquisiteness of that movement isn’t for a or the selected few. It is for everyone! It is only… our choice. Thank you Joost Blom.

629. Reblogged this on florisvanderschot's Blog and commented:
     Het zijn onze eigen #keuzes. Wanneer op te staan, wat te #eten, hoe te #rijden, hoe te #leven, etc. #Prachtig en #inspirerend. Joost Blom​ Serge Benhayon​ Universal Medicine​

630. Thank you Joost, it is so true how everything we do is a choice and bringing awareness to that gives us so much responsibility but also power to own that everything is therefore a learning. It doesn’t have to be perfect, or right, it equally doesn’t have to be bad or poor. It is what it is, and an opportunity to learn. Next time round, because it all comes back again, a different choice may be made or a choice confirmed. Either way, simply another lesson and another choice,

631. I love the clarity of your blog Joost, choice is a matter of fact. Choice is in everything before us.

632. Our power comes from our own authority over our life and as you say this comes back to the choices we make in every moment. There is responsibility in our choices as you have expressed and without taking that responsibility we will not see or understand why things happen – that there are two energies that we have a choice between. When this is felt and understood then we can discern which energy or authority we are giving our power to and hence the choices that are a result of this.

633. Great your choice to write this blog. Therefor I can make the choice to read it and choose to post a comment how important it is to understand that the way I live and everything I do in live is always a choice.

634. Sometimes we think we are at the mercy of life when we are actually the ones to create how our life is.

635. At first I was thinking whats this guy going on about, of course it Our Choice, My Choice, Your Choice but then I realised that there is more to it….the more I read the phrase ‘my choice’ the more I understood how powerful and important it was to keep up the repetitions. What has been falsely implied by some Media outlets and a small group of cyber bullies that Universal Medicine students are unable to make decisions for themselves. What is this blog says to me is being a student of Universal Medicine only reveals just how many choices we have and how important all of them actually are. Thank you for reminding me of this importance.

636. It’s my choice to be inspired by the moment by moment appreciation you have chosen for yourself Joost. It’s my choice to connect to the delicateness in my fingertips as I type and t adjust my posture so i am supporting my body fully. And its my choice to thank you deeply, from my heart for your tender and graceful blog.

637. Absolutely Joost. Our life is a result of the choices we have made and the choices we continue to make each and every day. It is our life, it is our choice.

638. The blessing and responsibility we each are offered by the choice we have in every moment is something quite profound, and exquisitely simple.

639. An awesome, inspired yes to that Joost! Every step of our way is based on choice – whether aware of that choice or oblivious, every one of us are choosing our every move every moment.

640. We cannot but take responsibility for our life being the way it is when we appreciate the multitude of choices we make every single day, in every single moment.

641. This is so simple, yet oh so powerful. We underestimate the power of simple words, but indeed it is ALWAYS a choice no matter what we do even if it is an unconscious one. Whether we like it or not, we ALWAYS have a part to play in EVERYTHING that happens to us

642. Wonderful choices Joost, thank you for sharing your day in such a playful way. The choice of participating, appreciating and being a Student of the Livingness as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine is also my choice. A choice that offers amazing blessings in life and is equally available for everyone to choose.

643. Joost, I love your blog, so so beautiful, taking responsibility, loving and full of appreciation for yourself, Serge and Universal Medicine, your awesome choices and your clarity and love. Thank you.

644. In every moment we have the choice to be love, express love, move in love or not. Understanding this has brought new possibilities in my life. Living this is what makes the difference.

645. Hello Joost and it’s amazing to see just how many points we have to stop and make a choice at. Often a day will be a day whether named Tuesday or Wednesday but as you are showing whatever the heading in each moment there is a choice and it’s important ‘you’ are in that choice. We can either be awake to see the choice we have in each moment or be asleep and these choices will be made for us. Thanks Joost.

646. I had an understanding of choices in life before meeting Serge Benhayon but this was more on a level of the more major choices in life. Now I see clearly, and it is highlighted in this blog, just how many choices we are making through a whole day and can change the whys and hows of these choices at any time. The one choice that I really appreciate I made was meeting Serge Benhayon as then showed me the responsibility we have to make true and loving choices.

647. Choice equals responsibility and what I have found is that I actually love the fact that when something happens I know that it is not down to fate or luck or circumstance but a choice that comes from the energy I choose to align to. I can pick well or I can pick badly and it is all from and for me and the way of life that I make happen.

648. It is my choice to heal and clear from my body all the choices I have made and all the steps I have taken that led me away from love….. It is my choice to go there and feel it all no matter how challenging it may seem or appear for we are so much more than our physical bodies. We are divine beings and as such our beauty and wisdom and intelligence all reside within, just waiting our activation by our commitment and consistency to feel and express our truth which is the path back to reclaiming our awareness.

649. The Gorgeous and tender man that you are Joost shows in your picture, obviously from all those gentle choices you’ve made to live the fullness of the beautiful man you are.

650. Very simply put – we are constantly making choices and what Serge has supported me and many others to feel is the quality of those choices and the responsibility we have in making them – and so it has become my choice to be love.

651. I love your blog Joost it certainly exposes all those that think life just happens to them and that they do not have a choice.

652. This is a very simple and great blog about what Universal Medicine brings to people. That life is about choices. I have never met before any company or professional that so clearly presented what out true responsibility in life is. Very empowering and for me the only way forth.

653. Life is all about choices, we are responsible for our choices and with this for how and what we live.

654. I have also chosen to be open to the beautiful reflection of the way of the Livingness that Serge Benhayon and his family live 24/7 and…..it has been my choice to make changes in my life to learn to live from honesty, thus supporting true wellbeing and a return to living from love. Thank God for choosing to attend presentations by Serge Benhayon.
     “It is my choice to appreciate the amazing, beautiful example of living life the way Serge Benhayon lives his life and how this is for me”.

655. And thank you Joost for the choice to be a student of life, your picture shows very clearly you are making the choice to feel awesome due to all your choices. I appreciate and celebrate your choice.

656. It can be ever so tempting to blame the world around us for our choices as when as you beautifully point out Joost that we are responsible for all our choices in every moment.

657. Great awareness of your choices Joost.

658. Before I made the choice to breath gently I had no idea I had a choice to live me, the being I am. This was the start of the choice to be inspired by Serge Benhayon and all he brings forth. The choice to live knowing I have a choice in every moment to take responsibility to live love more and more or not.

659. What an appropriate read on a day when I am not choosing as loving steps as I could be choosing. Thank you for spelling it out Joost.

660. It is my choice to read this blog. It is my choice to totally agree with all that is written.

661. I love this Joost. Today, as I was putting on my top I thought wow, it’s my choice to put this top on delicately – as it was my choice in the past to put on clothes roughly. And just now it was my choice to put on the little bit of make up I felt would be just perfect for my outing (as it was in the past to not bother at all and have the niggling knowing I was doing myself a disservice by not celebrating me). These choices can be joy-full celebrations of who we are and how simple and lovely is that? No-one can take these choices away from us and that’s profound.

662. My daily choice is to choose to be a part of the forever expanding universe, and this is what is on offer from the presentations by Serge Benhayon.

663. You make it almost ridiculous simple: we always have a choice and every choice we make has an effect.

664. And it is my choice to read this blog and be deeply touched and inspired by it, appreciating now all the choices i have made so far that has lead me to this very moment. Realizing that how wonderful I feel right now, enjoying myself at work, is all my choice.

665. Out of all the choices I have made this life, choice after choice after choice… my choice to have Serge Benhayon in my life has only led to one amazing choice after the other as I begin to understand the responsibility of every choice and what is possible when love is my only choice.

     1. Yes Kylie, this choice, to have Serge Benhayon and his family in my life has changed the range of choices I choose to choose from – and life has taken on a natural grace and grandeur whilst living very simply and lovingly.

666. This captures so beautifully the unfolding of the realisation that it is us that are making choices every momenet of everyday and that even if we feel like we don’t have choice there has always been a choice preceding the ones we are now making that have directed us to be in the position we are. How very humbling

667. Awesome choice Joost 🙂

668. Thank you Joost, This is strong sharing in that it makes it very clear that we have a choice in everything we do and most of all we have a choice how we do it, what quality we decide to bring to our every move. Beautiful.

669. It sounds silly but before I came across Universal Medicine I had no real sense that I did have a choice – I was given up, cynical, just another body stuck on life’s hamster wheel – Serge Benhayon and the teachings of Universal Medicine have shown me that I absolutely have the choice to step off, and that how I live my life is the greatest medicine.

670. Beautifully expressed Joost. We have an opportunity to choose love in each and every moment and you show that each loving choice leads to another.

671. So true Joost Blom. It is ALWAYS our choice.

672. Beautifully confirming of the fact Joost that in every moment we have a choice. There are no mistakes or wrongs and rights simply choices and we are responsible for the choices we make.

673. Love this blog, so true, so succinct that everything we choose in our life with how we are, feel, do, hear, see, eat etc is simply all our choices. Thank you for writing it the way you did. It’s beautiful, love your expression.

674. I have to agree with you Joost, Serge Benhayon is inspiring. The presentations and workshops that are offered through Universal Medicine are offerings that allow me to question my own choices, which have been amazingly life changing.

675. This blog empowers me to know l am not a victim of circumstance. We all have a choice.

676. Thank you Joost for giving me the choice to read and comment on this inspiring blog. I love that you have reminded me to be aware that I am the only one in my life who makes my choices for me and the freedom that offers me.

677. Well written Joost, we are where we are because of past choices.

     1. Wow, this throws out the bad luck and ‘victim’ mentality. True healing can only occur once we start taking full responsibility for our choices. Not so loving choices have not so loving consequences; and it’s the same for everybody on this planet.

678. A profoundly uniquely written blog. showing how every moment is a choice.

679. It is as simple as that – it is all a choice. Thank you Joost.

     1. Absolutely Vicky, very simple, just one choice after the other.

680. It certainly is our choice in each and every moment how we move, how we speak, how we interact, what we choose to eat, how we choose to treat ourselves and others. Every little choice has a part in what we create for ourselves, be it misery or be it love. It is our choice absolutely. Thank you Joost..

681. The point you’ve made in this blog Joost is very important – we ALWAYS have a choice of how we are going to move, be and interact with others throughout our day. Letting go of the doubt or the blame that our choices are determined by what happens around us is extremely empowering, as reflected in your blog.

682. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have opened my eyes to see that every single thing I experience in my life and my day are the sum result of every choice I’ve ever made. I now know I have a choice in every moment to live a life that is full of love and simplicity or one that is loveless or lonely and full of complication. It comes down to the quality I choose in every moment.

683. How we live life can be done very much from two perspectives, either in reaction and feeling like a victim or in response by being empowered through the understanding that everything comes down to personal choice. I have lived life from both angles and know that when I respond rather than react space is generated where I can look at any issue objectively and not get hooked by it or drawn into drama. The more I am aware of my choices and why they were made the more I can make them from a foundation of loving appreciation. This has been life changing.

684. This is lovely Joost. You are highlighting gently and with grace that every moment is a choice as is the quality in which we do anything – not just for ourselves as all our choices can be felt by everyone too to be affected by. In this awareness there is deep appreciation not just of the opportunity to make those loving choices but a deep appreciation of those choices made so far building a momentum that allows for that gentle grace to be lived daily; deep appreciation as well for the inspiration to live this way offered by Serge Benhayon. I echo all of this. Thank you for writing such a gorgeous blog.

685. Our lives really are made up of lots of little choices everyday, with every choice having a consequence.
