That is just what it is. The next part is to access my desires and so I can put those orders in :) Hey Bliar, like this ” It is the wording used to declare to the Universe that we have placed our orders.”
That is just what it is.
The next part is to access my desires and so I can put those orders in :)

This has been a bit of an eye opener for me also. Like the ice cream example, chocolate or vanilla. Choose! Decide which one I like? Choose which one I want to have? Or... I like that Chocolate Ice Cream, (followed by) now that I like it, "it is mine." (Declaration.) "It is mine!" Said with such determination & certainty. These are the words of comic book villains and children alike. This may be why there are so many negative stories to the choosing part. (Its rude to take the last piece of cake.) Remember that one hehe. As a result, we have a world full of hopes & wishes. We are great at deciding what we like but can be afraid to state that we are grabbing it. Like you said Kathleen, choosing is active. It is the wording used to declare to the Universe that we have placed our orders. It has opened up a huge door on my life too and is helping me to look where I have merely decided and not chosen. Hey Guys,

What an illuminating distinction to make, between "to decide' and 'to choose'. To choose is active. Power resides in the one who chooses. If I think "What do I choose to do today?" I can feel the lift in my energy. And what if it's "the wrong choice"? Too bad - it's MY choice! Ergo, right! Thank you. Hi Wilma, a gorgeous and timely blog!
