Volition

I believe that one of the most important things we have on earth is volitoin. If I can't choose then freedom is a fraud. Okay, so if I really have that freedom, then is there anything off limits or beyond me? I'm going with the thought that in the land of the free freedom encompasses everything. Freedom to pray, believe, express, think, learn, expand, grow and so much more. We are living in an age where these freedoms are an exact display of Christianity. One of the biggest things Christ gave us was our freedom to...

So, my friend, if this freedom is real (no one is making you do anything) then what are some of the things we can 'decide?' I can decide if I'm going to learn in school (they make you go but only you can decide to learn while you're there). I can decide if I'm going to further my education after high school. I can decide if I'm going to make my living within the laws of the legal system or if I'm going to hustle for the rest of my days. I can decide if I'm going to respect authority or be a menace to society. I can decide whether I am going to be a positive or negative example. I can decide whom I'm going to love, believe it or not. I can decide on any and everything about me.

Now here is where it gets tricky. The more exposure I have the more choices. That concept seems good but it’s not always so. The more I have floating around in my stream of consciousness the more I have to reject. For example, if I have no idea what it feels like to be high then I won’t crave the drug. If I can’t fathom how good sex is before marriage then I won’t fight off the lonely nights without a HIM.

So, my volition not only affects my lifestyle but my experiences, as well. So now that I know this… what am I going to do with it? I guess make some decision!
