I believe the greatest attribute that separates us as children of a Heavenly Father from animals is Choice. Our agency is inseparably tied to our self awareness. Our little I AM and the power to choose is the only thing that is truly ours. Whenever we react to circumstance, other peoples choices, our own scripting - we give our agency to that event or person, even if only for a brief moment. We disempower ourselves and empower that something else.
Conversely, I have found I am greatly empowered when I respond to circumstance and others. I find I am more powerful, resourceful, and creative when I accept responsibility for my choices. I am by no means perfect at this but I am striving.
