So as my followers know I haven't posted here for quite some time. I apologize, mostly to me. I quit writing a while ago because honestly, it was hard. It was easier to just go read a book or surf the internet instead of writing.
I have since learned something that has helped me make some real progress in life. It is the small, simple, correct choices we make every day that make all the difference in life. Too often we wait for the grandios and spectacular to change us but generally we end up waiting for a lifetime, only to be disappointed in the end.
Success and happiness begins each day when we step out of bed. Do we grumble and moan about what lies ahead? Do we think about how bad a day we had yesterday? If we do we are setting the wrong tone for our new day. If we hop out of bed, pray for a great day, do those pushups we have been promising ourselves that we would do, then we are setting ourselves up for success.
The dividing line between success and failure lies in the small choices. Jeff Olson in "The Slight Edge" says "Making the right choices, taking the right actions. It's truly easy to do. Ridiculously easy. But it's just as easy not to do."Over time, whichever choices we make will bring success or failure. The key to success is choosing the right, consistently, every day. Over time these tiny steps will compound into real happiness and success.
At the end of our lives we will have made many good or bad choices. The ones we made consistently will have determined where we end up. So remember, the past is gone and the future isn't here yet, so today is the most important. Live it like you know you really want to, and you will create a fantastic future.
