The distance between who you are now and who you want to be is separated only by your choices
The choices that you make now eventually make you.
We are the end result of the choices that we’ve made.
We are faced with making choices every day, sometimes we go through the day making spontaneous choices and other times intentional and purposeful choices, but whatever choices we’ve made… we’ve made them, no one else.
Remember…
While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.
[S. Covey]
It’s important to always consider the consequences of your choices.
There are times when you may feel like life is just happening to you and that you have absolutely no control over your circumstances, but remember, you may not have control over all of the circumstances in your life, but you have plenty of opportunities to make wise choices in the midst of those circumstances.
If you choose not to make a decision, you’ve made a choice.
By doing nothing, you’ve still made a decision.
So…
When you choose to ignore a particular situation or circumstance you are still making a choice.
It is very important to recognize that doing nothing is still a choice.
We determine our destiny by the choices that we make every day.
The distance between who you are now and who you want to be is separated only by your choices.
But don’t despair…
Your story isn’t over yet, so make the decision to choose wisely.
