No matter what the situation: Our situations sometimes can make us feel helpless and worthless. These situatiosn represent our despair, feeling like a victim and sorry for the situation. But these situations don’t go away on their own. The best thing we can do is to act on this feeling. Although it demands a fight, this is our choice. Whether we decide to sulk, feel bad or be inspired to make a change, it all starts from a choice.
No matter what the situation, remind yourself, I HAVE A CHOICE.”
Deepika Chopra
This quote asks us to find this source of strength and conviction. Maybe it even asks us to find the strength and resilience to fight and keep moving forward. No matter what the situation – we all have a choice. This choice is about what we do about our situation.
No matter what the situation we have a choice meaning
It talks about our perspective and approach to life. If we feel helpless, it makes us think that we have no choice but to suffer. However, if we think that we can control how we react and find a way out of our situation – then maybe we have hope. The challenge is about moving away from a problem and victim mindset to a problem-solving mindset. This mindset will help us think about moving forward beyond these problems and carving a path forward in life.
No matter what the situation, we all have a choice. We might not be able to change the situation immediately, but how we react to the situation is our choice. We can do something powerful about this right?
I don’t have a choice but to suffer
I’ve seen myself ask this question in most of my desperate situations. Do I have a choice? – I could hear this question ruminating as I wondered how to get out of the messy state of mind. This messy state I’m referring to is a survival mode where your mind loses the ability to think about yourself. It is almost an act of desperation because apart from survival, you’re unable to think of anything else. Naturally, this is accompanied by self-pity, feeling sorry for myself and a sense of weakness. You can easily see that this is a downward spiral that demands massive action. The trouble however is that the mind feels weak enough to take that action.
The only solution to answer the question – Do I have a choice is to dig deeper into your motivation. This is usually in your reasons for your personality, character and vision for your life. Just because you’re going through a tough time, it doesn’t mean that these have faded. Your values still define who you are as a person. Don’t underestimate the power of this introspection because it can tell you amazing things amidst all other noise. The noise in this scenario might be the feeling of weakness or hopelessness. We can’t lose the ability to listen to our thoughts just because we’re in a state of mind that keeps dragging us down to inaction.
