So often, we circle and circle, research and research, maybe even incorporate a little bit of trial and error; yet we never seem to truly DECIDE what we want to, or are going to, do; really DECIDE who we will BE.
Yet our lives are made up of hundreds, maybe thousands, of decisions every single day. We decide to hit snooze one more time, or to get up 5 minutes early. We decide what clothes to wear; to brush our teeth first, wash our face second; to drink our coffee while rushing around the kitchen or to enjoy a leisurely breakfast; to turn on the radio to music, or the news; to check Facebook or turn on our smart phones; and that's all within the first 15 minutes of waking up!
Many of these decisions happen (almost) without our realizing. They've become habits ... the things we just 'do'. Mostly because they are the things that move us towards other goals: waking us up, getting the kids to school on time, getting to work on time, all without embarrassing ourselves by doing it all naked.
Quite frankly, most of these decisions are happening on a subconscious level -- they've become habits. And one thing that habits are is comfortable. We get up and go to work at our J.O.B everyday, not because we love it, not because it's the best, most efficient, or the most enjoyable way to earn a living, but because it's a decision we made abouthow we would (should?) live so long ago that it's now habit.
And any habit, good or bad, can be hard to break!
What? Good habits are hard to break too? Great news!
Take a look at your life. What habits (decisions) are driving your every day activities? Are those habits (decisions) creating a happier, fuller life? Are you achieving your dreams, or dreaming of an escape?
The choice is yours. The power lies within you. You DECIDE every day who you will be. What decisions are you making today?
