Loyalty is a Choice
November 9, 2019

Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice.
Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Happiness is a choice,
Respect is a choice. Integrity is a choice. Whatever choice you
make, makes you. Choose wisely and you can not go wrong. Some
people aren't loyal to you. They are only loyal to their need of you.
Once their needs changes, so does their loyalty. Trust is one of the
most Dangerous Games! Be Careful In This Game.

Being in the world at this time is ‘your choice’. It’s the best time in the history of the world to
make the best choices for a choiceless choice of the best of life and love. Are you too busy to
see the truth, and put it off like all the other values instead in pursuit of nonsense that you think
makes sense compared to an inner life of the highest qualities? 



Go for what you want, but always question if that’s what you really want even if it
means giving up life’s inner treasures. Life is filled with choice, and at this time
more than all times in history put together. No one has the time to pursue all the
outward choices with vigor. Look into your inner conscience and you will see, if
you take the time, what is really true is in you! Look into your heart and you will
find that nothing matters more that the inner peace and love of self.
Most spend life chasing the ‘butterflies of fleeting happiness’ from
the outside. 

It’s a moment before midnight where you turn into what you likely
will never upgrade from your best inner potential. This is your life,
and nothing should hold you back from seeing the
superconsciousness that waits hidden within you for your
discovery. What seems like a few short years ago during a market
crash, I sat on my 40th floor balcony over looking the New York
skyline and Central Park on a cold morning the day after Christmas
and looked at where I was headed. Living a life of accumulation
and monetary success was alluring, but serving two masters dilutes serving
both. The ‘master within’ was a choice, or the one of accumulating riches. I
chose to get on a plane a few weeks later for California and follow a life of
accumulating inner experiences which I happily do to this day.

You are the ruler of your life of choices irrespective of your past. Your ‘real career’
is your personal life, not the one most choose. Any impediments to that ‘success’ are chosen
by you and no one else, nor does life care what outer success you have made or not. The
world needs a positive shift to the ‘high road’, but it begins with each individual!
