“The choices we make today impact the lives we live tomorrow.”
I’ve thought and said that phrase for years. I’m not sure if it is something I came up with or if I read it somewhere. What I do know is that it is true. Our future is influenced by our choices. This is true when it comes to life decisions, career decisions, relationship decisions, and even lifestyle decisions. The choices we make set the trajectory for where we will go. Will we always get exactly where we choose to go? Perhaps not. However, if we don’t make any choices we won’t go anywhere.
Today I’d like encourage you to try something: choose success. It seems ridiculously simple to say this but it also could be life changing. Stop and take a moment to think about this. What things in your life would you like to succeed at? What are the things that you want to do? What are the things you want to change?
Once you have identified these things it is time to evaluate what you want with them. What is the cost of success? What is the cost failure? What is the cost of staying where you are at? Once you have thought about these things it is time to decide the very basic question of is it worth it?
So you’ve decided it is worth it! Excellent choice! Your next choice is to move beyond deciding it is worth it and choosing to actually succeed. Choose success! As simplistic as this sounds, it is a fundamental part of the path to success. Choosing success will not only change your mindset, it will also change your trajectory. When you choose success, you’ve picked a point on the map of life that you want to head toward.
You’ve chosen success. Now it is time to move towards it. Remember why you made that choice with every step you take. Be consistent and proactive about taking a new step forward every day. When you have chosen to succeed and continue the pursuit of success, it is inevitable. It may not end up looking exactly what you imagined it would look like when you do succeed. Often it looks different but even better than imagined. Mainly because the process of achieving success makes the point of achievement that much more satisfying!
So what are you going to choose to succeed at? What choice toward success will you make today? Don’t wait, choose success and succeed!
Love this! Such great wisdom in this post!!
