The Simplist Things have the Greatest Impact


Have you ever been asked by someone to choose between ‘A’ or ‘B’?   And, being the ‘nice’ person you are, you threw it back at them and told them to choose?  Well, here is something to consider.  When someone is being ‘nice’ and asks you to choose, they are actually saying, “I honor you.”, “I appreciate you.”, “This is my small way of serving you.”  In accepting their ‘you choose’ gesture you are empowering them, simply by accepting and honoring their gesture!  Furthermore, you are telling your soul that you are, decisive, and standing in your own power, which in turn empowers you.   This is a win-win for both parties.  
When you throw it back at them the opposite occurs.  You make them feel bad about themself by saying you don’t accept their gesture of kindness towards you.  And, you tell your soul that you are not worthy.  
Try an experiment for yourself with a friend or whoever.  Pick two objects (movies, books, treats etc.) and ask the other to choose one and notice the feeling each of you get when the choice is made.  Now do the same experiment again only this time throw the choice back, what is the feeling now? 
It is always the simplest things in life that create the BIGGEST impact.  The next time someone gives you a choice... Think... would you rather empower or deflate?
