The Life You’re Living Is the One You’re Choosing

“What you’re not changing, you are choosing.” This quote hits deep. It’s easy to stay in situations that don’t serve us—routines that drain us, environments that no longer feel right, or habits that keep us stuck. Change is hard. It’s uncomfortable. It forces us to acknowledge that we have the power to shift things, and sometimes, that’s scarier than staying the same. But here’s the truth: every day we don’t make a change, we’re actively choosing to keep things as they are. And that’s okay—if it’s a conscious choice. Not everything needs to change. But if something is making you unhappy, unfulfilled, or restless, what would happen if you took one small step toward something different? For us, moving to Bali was a massive life change. Selling everything, uprooting our kids, and stepping into the unknown was terrifying, but the alternative—staying in a life that no longer felt aligned—was scarier. We weren’t willing to choose comfort over growth. And while not every change needs to be that big, it’s a reminder that small shifts can lead to huge transformations over time. So if there’s something in your life that feels off, ask yourself: Am I changing it? Or am I choosing it? And if it’s the latter, is that a choice you’re happy with? #WhatYoureNotChangingYouAreChoosing #LifeLessons #MakingChanges #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset
