“Every choice you make on the ride determines how much joy you take from the journey.”

Life is a series of choices, and each one shapes the way you experience the ride. On this third Wednesday of June, let’s reflect on how intentional decision-making can lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Imagine being on a rollercoaster. You can choose to grip the safety bar in fear, or you can throw your hands in the air and embrace the thrill. The ride is the same, but your choice changes the way you experience it. Life works the same way.

Every day, we face decisions—some big, some small. These choices might seem insignificant in the moment, but together, they create the life we live. Choosing positivity, gratitude, and courage, even when it’s difficult, allows us to find joy in unexpected places.

Think about a recent decision you made. Did it bring you closer to joy or pull you away from it? If it’s the latter, what could you do differently next time? The beauty of life’s journey is that we always have the power to course-correct and make new choices.

This week, focus on making choices that align with the life you want to live. Whether it’s choosing kindness, stepping out of your comfort zone, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the present, let each choice add joy to your journey. Remember, life’s rollercoaster is unpredictable, but you can always decide how you respond to it.
