Where To?

What are you choosing today? Realize that everyday you make choices on a thousand different things. They may be good choices or bad choices. You may not be making an active choice. If not, you are choosing the default. Is that the right choice?

It may not matter to you. But the bigger question is ‘Should it?’. Many choices appear to have no consequences to you or anyone else. The problem with choices is that they add up to defining your life. Years of choosing not to exercise is going to affect your quality of life. Years of choosing to waste your free time is going to affect your wealth. Years of choosing to neglect your kids is going to affect their life. So, choices do matter.

Your choices steer your life. They define your direction. You may not have made the best choices in the past. You could be going in a direction you don’t really want. You don’t have to continue in that direction. You can make better choices starting at any time. Today could be your day.

So take a look at your choices. Make a choice that puts you in a positive direction. It doesn’t have to be hard. Eat an apple rather than a doughnut. Walk to the mail box rather than drive to it. Read something worthwhile rather than watch that reality show. It’s easy to start a new direction. Then tomorrow do the same thing again. Before long these positive choices become habits. Other positive choices become easier to make. You will find yourself on a new direction before you realize it.

Start the process of getting your life where you want it. Examine your choices and figure out where you are going. Then just start the process. Tony Robbins is famous for saying change takes place with a decision to do something different. You can make that decision too. Chose to be better, stronger, and happier.

Quest On…
