Choices Determine Destinies!

Think about the next line for a minute: Everything you can see, touch, smell or feel is a result of your own choices. Every aspect of your life from your home, clothes, food, type of car, what work you do and how you feel about your job, relationships or financial situation – all are the results of choices you (and you alone) made over time. If you look at your car and think: “that car was not my choice, my wife chose it”, then you chose to allow her the selection of the car. Similarly, if you look at the job you are doing, and it’s your parents who wanted you to become a lawyer/plumber/whatever: you are still the one who chose to become it. There really is nothing in your life over which you had no control or no choice if you think about it objectively.

We are constantly putting out fires - reacting to daily stresses and frustrations as they present themselves. We actually make most of our important choices while caught up in the emotional fall-out of the symptoms, without the  without the benefit of assessing our options objectively. Without objectivity, we cannot identify the real cause of the problem - so we never address the issue to resolution. While in this mode, we will forever chase our tails. This is like eating soup with a fork - lots of effort for virtually zero gain!

Learn how to objectify and assess the situation, consider options, plan & execute your resolution in my upcoming book called Project Life. This book is simple to understand, but teaches powerful tools and skills to help us make better choices. Because our choices determine our destinies!
