Choose Your Path
The life that you lead is exactly that, your life to lead. By your actions, thoughts, and choices, you define exactly who you are and you control where you are going. To choose is one of the most empowering things that we do as individuals daily. It is what drives elite athletes, business people, and leaders to new heights. It is what can do the same for you. Choosing allows you to take control. And, choice has the effect of directing where you are going, quite literally.
So, two more ingredients for a prosperous life are:
- Decide what choices you need to make.
- Choose decisively.
Having a prosperous life involves making choices. Here are some of the best choices that you can make regularly.
Choose the way you want your life to turn out. Plan where you want to go. Choose to take responsibility for your actions and your response to the actions of others. Be empowered with the act of choosing. Choose to make fun daily. Don't wait for it to come to you. Choose to be lucky. Your luck is waiting to be noticed. Choose to attack each day and be in control of your life.
One more powerful thing that you can do is to give yourself the right to make a new decision down the road. Choose what is right for you right now and if something happens and you need to make a change in your decision, that's okay.
If you want to magnify the effect that your choices have on your life, be more decisive. This does not mean making quick or rash decisions. When a choice needs to be made, gather the information that you need and then decide. You will waste less time and you will become a better decision maker. People often credit their success not to brains, brawn, money or even desire, but to being able to make decisions. Good luck with all of your decisions!
