Four Simple Keys to Transform Your Life

The Power of Choice．Every one ofus makes countless choices every day．Every choicewe make has an impact on our lives．Eveninsignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel．When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy,nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food．The more important the decision, the greater itseffect．For instance, how do I act towards thatperson who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I activelyset clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make,however big or small, affects us in some way．

How Do You Make Choices? If you are interested inliving a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base allof your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also forthose around you．This foundation is to choose based onwhat's best for all．Imagine a world where every parent, spouse（配偶）, friend, teacher, business person, and politician trulydid their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision theymade. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world．

It's the Intention．"But howdo I know what is really best?" you might ask．The answer is simple．Itdoesn't matter．What matters is not the choice you make,but rather the intention beind your choice．What mattersis that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosingbased on what's best for all．If it later turns outthat you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there's no need for guilt．Knowing that you did your best to choose with asincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open．This then allows you to more easily learn from yourmistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind．

What's Best for Me, Too! Choosing what's best does notmean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others．An overly(过度的) exhaustedmother can lose her temper easily．Some time offfor this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to bea better mother to her children．So as we move througheach day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our bestto choose what's best for all．
