Good Morning,
What you choose to do in the next three minutes could change your life forever.
'My life change because of a few measly minutes?
I don't think so.' If you're thinking along these same lines, think again. Every action you take, no matter how large or small, has the potential to change your life; even a choice as simple as using the next three minutes to read the rest of this. Making a decision is like choosing which way to turn when you reach an intersection in your car. No matter which way you choose to go, you will find yourself on a unique road consisting of unique twists and turns. Turn left and you'll encounter different circumstances had you turned right. And those circumstances have the potential to change everything because you never know where that next turn will take you.
Routine runs the majority of people's lives. It's a sad truth, but a truth nonetheless. And when you are following a routine day in and day out, your circumstances will rarely change.
You'll think what you thought the day before. You'll feel the way you felt before. And you'll do what you did before. After years of this cycle you'll find yourself far from the kind of life you always wanted to live. I'm sure you know of many people who have let routine run their entire lives. Wake, work, eat, sleep, repeat. It's difficult to see them waste away while routine runs the show because they can never get that time back. Never.
But there is a solution. Making a new decision. One new choice leads to another choice which leads to another unique choice and on and on the pattern goes. Now is the time to make that new choice and break free from the grip of routine.
First, you have to break free from routine. If you're not getting what you want you have no other choice than to stop doing what you've always been doing. You have to make a conscious choice to break the cycle. Think about what you do during the day instead of taking on a zombie-like stare as you follow an ingrained pattern.Take notice of your time and actions and make sure they are bringing you toward the things you want.
Next, you need to start making new decisions and taking new actions. You have to turn down a new road to encounter new and exciting options. Mix it up! Change what you do in the morning, afternoon, and night. Give your brain new information and experiences. And from these two small steps alone your life will begin to take on a new shape. Breaking free from routine and making new choices will create the momentum you need to ensure the changes you want to make last for years to come. But it can't happen if you let routine run the show. A single decision can change your life forever, but it will never get the chance if you keep doing what you've always been doing.
Until next time, always be aware of your decisions that shape your destiny !!
