The path we choose

Life is a series of choices that we make.

Often we allow others to control or influence that choice, but when that happens, rarely does it go well. We feel that we are trapped or forced and that makes us unhappy.

It takes time to find the right path that will work for us and it does not matter which one you choose. However, we need to be the ones making that choice and doing it because it fits with our values, our why and what matters to us.

If you have chosen a path that is not inspiring you to jump out of bed in the morning, or if it is not making you happy, then the good news about life is we can always change the path.

Sometimes it just needs a slight change in direction and other times a big bold change. No matter how much of a change it is, the sooner you start down another path, the better.

We all have our own unique pathways in life, we are here to make a difference in some way and the right path will lead to a happy and fulfilling life. Taking that path will often require being brave and willing to be vulnerable.

The decisions don’t matter

The choice that you make does not matter, it is the actual making of the decision that is important.

If we all took even 1/2 as much time to come to a decision on something, then we would get so much more done.

Then the more you get done, the quicker you learn which outcomes work for you, and then the next time you come to that choice, you’ll better know which way to decide.

So the habit of making faster decisions and eliminating over thinking, is so much more important to focus on building.

Do not waste too much energy on what to choose. Often the first instinctive thought is the best one.

That does not mean running your life like you’ve just rolled a dice to choose what next, but the longer you wait, then the less likely it is that you will do anything.

Equally, you do not know whether the decision will bring about the desired outcome yet, so just get on with choosing. There is never a right or wrong decision, because if the outcome is not as you want, then learn and do something different next time.

Decide whatever.
