Decision
Everything you do is a choice. You choose the way you are living today. As we walk on the path of life, we are presented with cross roads and forks. Some are pretty obvious which turn we should take. However, not everything is easy in life. And in the fast pace life we are currently living in right now, we move so fast that we meet many more challenges than before and often, we hastily decide on the choices we make.
You will make decisions in your life. Some of these decisions will be incredibly good and result with you experiencing a much improved quality of life. Other decisions will be poor, yielding little benefit, or worse, cause more damage than good. Yes, whether its right or wrong, it still is a decision you have made that brought you to the “you” today. Its unfortunate that most people I know blame their circumstances or other people instead of themselves every time they find themselves in a tight situation. Oh, dont get me wrong here. I am not trying to gloat that I do not make any mistake or have never made a wrong decision. I have my shares of mistakes that I too once blame my circumstance instead of myself. But after awhile, I began to realize that everyone faces the same thing in life. So why are some people successful and some arent? You see, when we face difficulties in life, we are often presented with many choices to workaround the problem. Its up to us to find out what they are and then decide the best course of action. No doubt, I wont deny that my best course of action will not be the same for you. But thats another discussion altogether.
A friend of mine that I know for years found herself sicked and tired of her current job. She loathed getting up from bed to work everyday. She no longer had the drive and passion of the job as she had the first week she was there. She realized her boss only wanted to squeeze more work out of her. In short, her current job sucks. Thus, she knew she has to move. Thats basically seems like a logical move! But she also reminded herself that the job is quite stable and it pays her pretty well. Moving away from this job means moving away from a stable source of income into the unknown again. So, what can she do? What are the choices here?
As I said earlier, theres is no right or wrong choices here. You decide which course of action is best for you. Here, the one that is willing to take a bit of risk and willing to take on new challenges for a better job prospect will naturally decide to leave for a new job. And the less secure will choose to continue with the lousy job. My point here is, dont blame the circumstances. Blame yourself if you find in a situation that you do not like. It was your decision that brought you to where you are today. Did anyone make the decision for you? Even if someone forces you to make a decision, ultimately, it still is your choice and decision. This is where the successful differentiate themselves from the average. They realize that their decisions today determine their future. So, its not a choice of liking. They deliberately choose to be what they want to be in the future. In short, what you do today defines what you are tomorrow. And all this boils down the decisions you make in life.
With all of the saying, Ive made million decisions since early life, however, there is one decision I made that stands out far above the rest. That decision is to focus all of my energy, time and practice to handle my own investments. I made a decision to take charge of my financial future. I am completely responsible for
