Your Choices: Is Every Moment in Life Really a Choice?

I’ve been asked by many of my clients: Is every moment in life really a choice? My answer is simple: Yes! And the power of this realization is definitely transformative. Every moment presents an opportunity to choose—not just in your actions, but in what you believe, think, feel, and focus on. Your choices, whether conscious or not, shape the direction of your life and the reality you experience.

It’s not about making flawless decisions at every turn. Instead, it’s about becoming aware of the immense power you hold to create the life you want. This isn’t limited to what you do—it’s also about the mindset you adopt, the emotions you nurture, and the energy you bring to each moment.

Your Choices of Beliefs, Thoughts, Feelings

At the core of your experience are three powerful forces: your beliefs, your thoughts, and your feelings. Together, they act as the foundation of how you perceive and respond to the world. Your choices of your beliefs shape the lens through which you see life—they dictate your expectations, influence your thoughts, and color your emotions.

What you choose to think, in turn, is like a constant stream, reinforcing those beliefs and directing how you feel. And your feelings? They are the signals, the emotional feedback system, letting you know whether you’re aligned with what feels authentic and right for you.

It might sound strange, but you are choosing, every moment, who you are, what you do, and even what you have. In this article, I’d like to dive deeper into this topic because it’s a crucial one for becoming the real you, living authentically and creating a life that truly aligns with your being.

Your choices—whether conscious or unconscious—are at the heart of everything you experience in life.

How Can You Choose Beliefs, Thoughts, and Feelings?

Choosing your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings begins with awareness. You can’t change what you’re unaware of, so the first step is to notice the patterns shaping your experience. Ask yourself:

• What beliefs am I holding onto?
• What thoughts dominate my mind?
• What do I feel most of the time?

Once you’ve identified them, ask a powerful question: Do these align with the person I want to be and the life I want to create? If the answer is no, you have the power to change your choices and choose differently.

Many people still think they are victims of their emotions and feelings. They say things like, “What can I do? I just feel like this.” But that’s far from the truth. You are not a victim of your feelings. You can choose how you want to feel by changing your thoughts.

When you feel down, for whatever reason, choose to think about something beautiful. Focus on a happy memory, a moment that brought you joy, or even allow yourself to daydream about something you’d love to experience. When you shift your thoughts to something positive, your feelings must follow. That’s how it works—it’s a universal law.

Your Choices of Beliefs can be rewritten

Instead of thinking, “I’m not good enough,” consciously choose a belief like, “I am capable and deserving.” Repeat it often, and act as though it’s true.

When a negative thought arises, don’t fight it—acknowledge it and gently guide your focus toward a more empowering thought.

Your Choices of Feelings can be nurtured

If you want to feel calm, think about something peaceful. If you want to feel inspired, focus on what excites you. Your emotions are your response to what you’re focusing on—so by choosing what you focus on, you naturally influence how you feel.

The more you practice, the easier it becomes to consciously choose beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that support the life you want to create.

Your Life Reflects Your Choices

You are the creator of your experiences, and your creation is reflected in all aspects of your life. You are far more powerful than you may realize, and your life is shaped by what you accept as true—both consciously and unconsciously. Every belief you hold, every thought you entertain, and every feeling you nurture becomes a building block of your reality.

How Do You Uncover The Truths You’ve Chosen To Accept?

Your conscious choices are often easy to recognize—they’re the decisions you make with intention, the ones you’re fully aware of. But unconscious choices? Those run much deeper. These are the beliefs and patterns you’ve absorbed over time, often without even realizing it.

To uncover them, simply observe the reality around you. Your life acts as a mirror, reflecting the truths you’ve accepted. Look closely at your relationships, your career, your health, your sense of fulfilment. What do these aspects of your life reveal about the beliefs you’ve been carrying?

Unconscious choices aren’t inherently good or bad—they simply are. Recognizing them isn’t about assigning blame or regret. It’s about understanding how they’ve shaped your experiences and opening the door to the possibility of conscious change.

How To Change Your Choices & Where Does True Transformation Begin?

True Transformation Starts Within

Many people believe that they can change their circumstances by simply taking action. While action is essential, it’s not the beginning of change—it’s the final step. Real transformation always starts with a choice. It begins within, with the beliefs you hold about yourself and your reality.

Consider the example of someone who wants to earn more money. Most people would assume that working harder—putting in longer hours or even taking on a second job—is the solution. But how many people do you know who are working themselves to exhaustion and still don’t achieve the financial success they desire? The problem isn’t in the effort; it’s in the underlying choices they’ve made about their beliefs. If someone has chosen to believe that they are undeserving of wealth or that money is inherently bad, no amount of effort will lead to the results they want.

The key to change lies in choosing to become the version of yourself who believes they are deserving, capable, and aligned with success. This conscious decision is what shifts your mindset, your energy, and ultimately, your reality.

The same principle applies to relationships. People don’t just respond to your actions; they respond to the energy of what you believe and expect of them. If you’ve chosen to believe your boss is difficult or unfair, even if you act politely, that belief will influence your interactions. They will treat you in ways that confirm your expectations. However, when you decide to choose differently—when you shift your attitude and see them as supportive or reasonable—they will begin to reflect that change back to you.

And what about health? It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of illness, thinking, “I don’t have a choice. I’m just sick—that’s the reality.” While the condition may indeed be a fact, you still have the power to choose where you place your attention. When you focus on the idea of healing, on the belief that your body is improving and your condition is getting better with every moment, you activate your ability to align with recovery and resilience.

This principle can be summed up simply: “Your wish is my command.” That’s how powerful your choices are. What you choose to believe and focus on is what you bring into your experience.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes

That’s not a new concept. The ancient Huna Shamans from Polynesia taught us this principle long ago, and nothing could be more true. Your energy follows your focus, and what you give your attention to grows in your life.

What are you choosing to focus on? This is one of the most important questions you can ask yourself. Every moment offers a choice about where you direct your energy. Are you focusing on what you want, or are you consumed by thoughts of what you don’t want?

Where your attention goes, your energy flows! If you’re constantly worrying about problems or fixating on obstacles, you’re feeding them and giving them more power. But when you choose to focus on solutions, possibilities, and what you truly desire, you redirect your energy toward creation and growth.

This isn’t about ignoring challenges or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about consciously choosing where to place your focus in each moment. When you choose to focus on what you want and align your energy with that vision, the path forward begins to unfold naturally.

Each moment gives you the opportunity to choose: to resist or to create, to dwell on problems or to move toward solutions. These small but powerful choices shape your life in ways you may not even realize. The question is, What will you choose today?

Conclusion: The Power of Your Choices

Every moment presents you with the opportunity to shape your reality through your choices. It’s not about making perfect decisions or always knowing the right path—it’s about being conscious, intentional, and aligned with who you truly want to be.

Your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings are the seeds from which your life grows. Choose them wisely. Reflect on the reality you’re creating and recognize the power you have to shape it differently, moment by moment. Become the master of your life-you have the choice advantage!

The question isn’t whether you have a choice. The question is: What will you choose next?
