Lets go back 10 to 15 years ago. Think for a moment. Where were you then? What were you like? Who were your friends? What were your hopes and dreams? If someone had asked you, "Where will you be in ten or 15 years?" What would you have told them? Are you today where you wanted to be back then? A decade can pass quickly, can't it?
Most importantly, maybe we should be asking ourselves, "How am I going to live the next ten years of my life? How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to? What am I going to stand for from now on? What's important to me right now, and what will be important to me in the long term? What actions can I take today that will shape my ultimate destiny?
You see, ten years from now, you will surely arrive. The question is Where? Who will you have become? How will you live? What will your contribute? Now is the time to design the next ten years of
your life - not once they're over.
The most powerful way to shape our lives is to get ourselves to take action. The difference in the results that people produce comes down to what they've done differently from others in the same situations.
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
What precedes our actions? What determines what actions we take, and therefore, who we become, and what our ultimate destination is in life? The answer is the power of decision.
Everything that happens in your life- both what you're thrilled with and what you're challenged by - began with a decision. The decisions that you make right now, every day, will shape how you feel today as well as who you're going to become in the future.
