Agency - from Words of Wisdom
Every Monday there will be a new "Monday Motivator" article written on the Music Motivation® blog. Every Wednesday there will be a new "Wednesday Words of Wisdom" article written on the blog, and on every Friday, there will be a new "Friday Freebies" article written on the blog (and posted in the Music Motivation® Freebies library: Music Motivation® FREE PDFs).
Here is the "Wednesday Words of Wisdom" for August 4th, 2010
(below where it says "Agency")
Every Wednesday, I will take a word or a few words (many times a word used in music teaching, but more often motivating, inspiring, and compelling words of action and empowerment, etc.) and create a "Words of Wisdom" self talk paragraph or two to hopefully inspire and motivate you as you continue motivating others. After a year or two, I will compile the "words of wisdom" into a book. Here is the one for today:
Agency is the means by which choices are made on a daily basis. Agency gives us freedom, but also enslaves us to the choices we make – whether good or bad.
I will learn everything I can about Agency.
Agency is a gift. With it I have so many choices. I can go where I want to go, say what I want to say, do what I want to do, and be who I want to be. But, although my agency is a gift, it is given to me on one condition – that I alone will be accountable for my choices. No one can take credit for the choices I make, both the good and the bad. They are my choices and I have chosen them. I will be rewarded accordingly.
Agency is freedom, and it enables me to have the lifestyle I want to have. No man can tell me what I will or will not do or accomplish in life because I have the choice to do what I choose.
I choose to make the best choices in life. I choose to be accountable to those choices because I want to take ownership for my actions. Everywhere I go and everything I say and do will be done after examining which choices will be the most profitable for me and others. Who I become will be the direct result of my day to day choices.
There are so many choices to be made on a daily basis. There are good choices and bad ones. There are big choices and small ones. All are important because I am responsible for the outcome. I will make my choices with the end result in mind. I will think of my destination and determine whether my choices are taking me in the right direction.
I choose to improve the condition of my life. I choose to dream big, to set realistic goals and achieve them. I choose to be an individual. I am unique and I will be myself. I choose success. I respect my agency and with it I will make the best choices. I have chosen to choose the best.
