This choice is not only day by day but it is moment to moment. <br /><br />The autonomic choice is so much easier, that even after agreeing to the Red choice we tend to fall back into our habitual patterns time and time again until we finally tire of the roller coaster and the longing for freedom exceeds the longing for an easy life.<br /><br />The paradox of course is that the autonomic life only appears to offer the easy life, which can only be discovered by saying yes to the red road and allowing each moment to teach us.<br /><br />Thanks for this post.
