Choose Wisely

I came across this note, and it really resonated with me. It reminded me that most of what we face in life is hard, but it’s what you choose and the path you choose that really makes a difference.

For example… Being a top producer is hard. It takes a lot of hours of discipline, sales calls, and dedication. Having no loans is also hard. Your actions choose your hard.

Of course, you don’t choose all the hard you face… you don’t choose to get cancer or choose the death of a child. But you can choose how you respond to those situations and how you use them to craft your life. You can choose to stay a victim, or you can choose to work to be a victor. You can let life happen to you, or you can take the reins and steer toward the future you want to create.

Choosing things that lead to growth, no matter how hard they may seem today will make your life better tomorrow. The point is you are constantly making a choice—to move you toward the person you will become. Choose intentionally.

Each morning, you wake up with a blank slate. You choose your attitude, your drive, your discipline, and your habits. Every day is an opportunity to craft the person you’re becoming.

Choose Wisely!
