The Importance of Decisions
Today on Key to Success I would like to talk about how the decisions we make now will impact our future.
Every moment of every day we are making decisions. Whether we are aware of this or not the decisions we make now will set us on a new course for the future. Even deciding not to do something is a decision and will somehow leave it's mark in the future. So, why then are our decisions rarely questioned when they have such a lasting impact? It's because our natural tendency is to go with the flow and follow the same decisions we made in the past. What we are actually doing is choosing the easy option over the better option!
When we choose the easy option we stay in our comfort zone, whether it's good for us or not. But, do you realise this is why we don't escape our current circumstances? The only way to become successful is to make decisions that take you down the road of success. It's just that these decisions tend not to be the easy ones. They often require effort and discipline but I'm afraid there is no other route. If we are not willing to change what we do, then life will not change for us either.
We simply have to question every decision we make. Is it the easiest option or is it the best option? The more you choose the best option the more successful you will be.
How do you determine the best option? You have to know where you're going. When you have made clear targets for yourself you will know what the best option is. The easy option will lead you away from your target or will take the form of a distraction. The best option will take you to your target quicker.
