Amber Fox’s Reviews > The Choice: Embrace the Possible > Status Update

“We can’t spend our lives hanging out under someone else’s umbrella and then complain that we’re getting wet.“

“Freedom is about CHOICE- about choosing compassion, humor, optimism, intuition, curiosity, and self- expression. And to be free is to live in the present.”

“We will all have unpleasant experiences in our lives, we will make mistakes, we won’t always get what we want. This is part of being human. The problem- and the foundation of our persistent suffering- is the belief that discomfort, mistakes, disappointment signals something about our worth. The belief that the unpleasant things in our lives are all we deserve.”

“Now that I’ve faced myself a little more fully, I can see that the emptiness I felt wasn’t a sign of something wrong, it was the void I carry with me, even now, the void that no relationship or achievement will ever fill. Nothing will ever make up for the loss and no one else is responsible for my freedom, I am.”

“And if I can keep the noise and urgency around me at all times, I will not have to be alone for even a moment with my own thoughts”

“It’s another momentous occasion that they miss, another happy day made less so by their absence. But I am pregnant and my life is full and I will not let sorrow pull me down”

“ It isn’t my own loss that hurts. It’s the way it ripples out into the future. The way it perpetuates.”

“We cannot choose to have a life free of hurt. But we can choose to be free, to escape the past, no matter what befalls us, and to embrace the possible.”
