Every choice you make in life will either lead you closer to your ultimate self, goals, and aspirations, or take you one step further from them.
It’s as simple as that.
If more people thought in these terms BEFORE they did random acts of stupidity or thoughtlessness, perhaps more people would be living their dreams today.
While we have no control over what other people say or do, we can certainly control how we act or “react” to what is going on around us. Someone cuts you off on the freeway – what do you do? Turn it into a full-blown, unsafe car chase or slow down and steer as far away from the fool as possible? A family member lets you down, again; what do you do? Nothing! It’s your fault for expecting anything different from him!
Before you choose to drive under the influence, get in a physical brawl at the neighborhood watering hole, keep feeding the slot long after you already won, post cringe-inducing pics of yourself, gossip at work, morph into a couch, or not do what you say you are going to do – think again. Is your choice bringing you closer to who you want to be or moving you further away?
Opportunity is knocking at your door every day. You simply have to remove your earbuds and get up off the couch to answer it.
