A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
You cannot create what you want by moving away from what you don't want.
If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.
The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped.
You want what you want, whether or not you think you can have it.
Creating is no problem - problem solving is not creating.

I've got a lot to download on your mercy and grace. I've always rushed up to You and dumped whatever it was and hurried away, fascinated by my own busyness. I want to turn all this over to You slowly, carefully, examining every fragment as I pass it off, so there'll never be any question about it again. Every time I've dumped and run, I've nearly always run back and snatched it out of Your hands. Help me in this. . . . . . . Right now, I'm certain of only one thing - that You love us, and that's where we all have to begin.
