Force or Choice

We all know how we hate it when something is being forced on us, by someone else or ourselves, and trust me thats worse! But why do we hate it so very much? Do we look at choice as the opposite of force! As in I am being forced to do something because I don't have a choice there. But what can we really do about this! Being a science student I would really like to convert it, put some chemicals on it, heat it to an optimum temperature, basically process it to transform it! But can I chemically treat force to become choice!
YES!
Not in the lab but in my mind, yeah, using a tool called "Attitude"
Why cant I choose the situation that I'm being forced to be in!
For instance, this morning I was already running late for work and to top it I was waiting for my colleague (as we car pool) who calls me at 9:15 am and says that he is going to work out of the other office! When I discovered this, I was clearly being forced by the situation. I was being forced to get late. And what did I do? I chose it! Yes, I chose to be late!
Similarly, apply this to facts that you cannot change in the significant areas of your lives. As soon as you choose, you will stop wasting your valuable emotional and mental energy in resisting it! Through this attitude you will create space for newer possibilities! Do this in your head for sometime, if you have digested this you will discover something very new in you today:
examples
I choose my fat wife
I choose my smoker husband
I choose my diabetes
I choose my special child
I choose my paralyzed parent
I choose my Disease

Happy choosing! I hope this reaction will be irreversible!
Have an extra-ordinary day!
