others, but we all made it here—adults.

If we are not in the practice of intentional, powerful choosing, we end up becoming casualties of our lives and can take on the perspective that circumstances get the better of us.

This is often referred to as “victim mentality.” Whatever you want to call it,

it is ultimately, again, a choice that you get to make.

But before you write me a hate letter, I want to point out again that it’s truly only a choice when it’s made in awareness. If you weren’t aware before, you are becoming aware now. You’ll thank me eventually.

Why is this important for my clients (and you and me and everyone)?

Because this is where we are in our power. This is where we are the creator of our experiences and our lives, including our relationships.

Here’s the rub:

When you acknowledge that you have a choice and become intentional about staying aware of your choices—starting with your thoughts—you also gain another power. Responsibility . Now you can’t blame someone or something else for your life, your experience, or your relationships

Pro Tip:

If you’re like me, you may need to allow yourself an occasional round of the blame game or a small pity party you throw for yourself—very occasionally.

And then, stop stomping around, swap out your best frown for that stunning look of determination while you take back your power (i.e. your responsibility).

With your big-girl panties pulled all the way up, and a smile on your face, hands on hips Wonder Woman style, you are the creator.

You are The Chooser. You are in charge. It’s very grown-up, don’t you agree?

Because you are reading this magazine, I know you have big plans to impact the world in an important way. And how we stand in our power from the position of The Chooser keeps us above drowning waters of our prevailing culture of victimhood. I know you’re a strong swimmer!
