“The ability to choose cannot be given away or even taken away — it can only be forgotten.”
– John Maxwell (b.1947), American author, pastor, leadership coach, as quoted in Greg McKeown‘s book, “Essentialism”
Pretty heavy stuff for Monday morning, right?
One of the challenges comes when we try to choose pertaining to stuff that already happened. That’s impossible.
It’s about what we do next. And the ability to choose in that context can’t be taken or given away.
The stuff that just happened, or the stuff that always seems to happen can make us forget. But the ability to choose is always ours.
