The Choices of Lif



Just as you start to think that your life is progressing nicely and going smoothly along a certain path, a big rock jumps up into the road and knocks the wheels right out from under you., but as Nelson Mandela said “it is not how many times you fall down that counts, it is the times that you get back up again that are important”; so here I go again along my merry way.

Many people come into our lives some only touch it, others make an impression and others stay there for a life time, but we learn something from all of them, and hopefully they gain something by our presence in their lives too. Even with people that we feel have hurt us and treated us badly there are things that we learn about ourselves. Creating change in our own life often has a knock on effect on others, they may not want or choose to change, so then we have to decide what is best for us.

Recently I have made changes in my working environment which then involved change for others, some embraced it and are as excited about the future as I am, others had more problems seeing how this change could enhance their future and made their choices accordingly, sticking to what you know is safe but it is also limiting. How many of the inventions that we now accept in our daily lives meant change at the time that they were invented? Not that long ago, mobile phones were the size of a house brick and everybody carried money in their bags or wallets, because using plastic was strange and unknown. Internet access was something that was in an episode of Star Trek, but people with vision saw what most people took years to catch up with, now most of us cannot imagine life without the changes that they brought about.

Change, also brings new people into our lives and the cycle goes on…… Hind sight is very good we can all look back and think of the things that we could have changed, but then we would not have learnt the lessons that we have learnt or had the experiences that we have had, so maybe it was not such a bad thing to go through, after all. There is one thing for sure though, however long we look back and ponder, we cannot change a single thing. All the time that we are looking back we are not looking forward, and the future is something we can change or make as we want it, by planning and setting goals.

Most people are constantly thinking about the things that are not right in their lives, what they don’t have and what is missing, so the more you concentrate on them the less time you have to know what you really want and make your plans to get them. Every morning we wake up with a clean slate of what we can do and make of that day, the choices we make and the actions we do, can lead us towards or away from our own goals. If we sit back and let others make choices for us and give up the responsibility of our own future, why are we surprised when things are not the way we want them to be?

If we are lucky enough to have a tomorrow, why let it be like all our yesterdays? It could be the first day of our future instead…..the choice is ours, what will it be???

Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
