I recently wrote about the stages of learning. As I was writing the article, it reminded of the importance of making conscious choices and how these choices can change our lives.

- “an act or or the possibility of choosing” – Cambridge Dictionary
- “involves mentally making a decision” – Wikipedia
- “an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities” – Google
