There is always a choice

I believe that no matter what situation we find ourselves in, no matter what difficult predicament, we always have a choice of what we do.

Even if the choice is to either do something anyone would do without hesitation, there is always the option of doing something unthinkable, detrimental to our best interests, or even dangerous. We always have the option to make that decision.

The next time you feel powerless, think about all the things that you could do but would never consider, like running away, for example. Take comfort in knowing you do make some choices, no matter how small or seemingly obvious.
