In life, we always have choices.

But only to the extent that we are aware of them.

We could say:

The only time you don’t have a choice about anything is when other options haven’t occurred to you.

Our choices tend to be made from the options that occur to us in the moment.

Based on what shows up as options is typically what we have to choose from.

If you don’t see another option, you don’t have a choice.

Only if you can see more options do you have the power of choice.

Otherwise, you don’t have that power.

So, in this we can see that awareness plays a crucial role in what options exist for us to make choices from.

Considering that our lives are made up of the choices we make, this is no small matter.

Again: Your choices are limited to the options that occur to you in the moment, that is, the options you’re aware of.

A limited awareness can only reveal limited options which impacts our choices and, ultimately, our experience of life.

Here’s what I mean:

Limited awareness = Limited options = Limited choices = Limited life experiences.

Bottom line: If you want to tap into greater possibilities for your life – such as more fulfilling relationships, happiness, bigger bank account, etc. – awareness is part of the deal.

There’s no way around it.

Expanded awareness = More options = More choices = Unlimited life experience.

So how do we engage in the process of expanding our awareness?

Here are 3 things you can engage with starting today that can help a great deal:

#1 – Work with a Transformative Coach

Working with a skilled Transformative Coach (not a strategic coach, accountability coach, life coach etc. but someone skilled in the art of genuine transformation) can bring on powerful breakthroughs of insight and clarity in your life.

A skilled transformative coach can shine a loving light on your blindspots, show you what you can’t see right now, and say to you what no one else would dare say.

In this way, a Transformative Coach can help you expand your awareness by making that which was unconscious, conscious and thereby giving you more options and choices to take your life to the next level of fulfillment.

#2 – Deepen Your Understanding of the Inside-Out Nature of Experience

We live in a world that is deeply confused about the nature of our experience.

The world – through advertising, news, movies, etc – is constantly telling the myth that your feelings are coming from something other than thought (from the outside-in) i.e. other people, circumstances, events, etc.

And when we believe this myth – that we’re feeling something other than thought in the moment – our next logical conclusion is that in order to change how we feel we must change the people, circumstances, and events that are the cause of our feelings.

The problem dawns on us when we finally do end up moving to another city, with other people, experiencing different events and circumstance… and we still feel miserable, angry, confused, alone and limited.

The truth is, there isn’t an invisible laser-beam coming from people/circumstances/events that’s causing you to feel the way you feel.

The truth is, you’re living in the feeling of your “right now” thinking.

It’s all happening within you, from the inside-out. And coming into a deeper realization of this fact can absolutely transform your whole experience of life in a positive and lasting way.

#3 – Discover the Power of Letting Go

All growth is a process of letting go.

All expansion is a process of letting go.

By letting go, I mean, consciously letting go of all that is causing you pain, confusion, and suffering; letting go of all that is restricting your joy and potential.

It’s like wiping off layers of horse manure that’s covering up the most precious and beautiful diamond.

Suddenly, everything is clear, perfect and unlimited.

And you find yourself to be more than you could ever have imagined (talk about expansion!)

If you would like to engage in a regular practice of letting go with expert guidance, check this out:

Together, they can radically accelerate your ability to create the highest version of yourself and the highest version of your life.

To your joy and freedom,
