Where are you going?

“Where are Your Decisions Steering You?”

What was the last decision you made? Was it a big decision or a small decision? Everything you do and everything you commit to should push you further towards your destination. If you aren’t going forward, then you’re moving backwards. Stagnation and complacency can be just as fatal, when that lack of commitment takes over, you lose sight of your goals and you start compromising on things that are crucial to your success. We all set goals for ourselves, whether they’re relationship goals, monetary goals, or physical ones. Without making decisions and choices that actively support our pursuits and help further our achievements, we face the treadmill effect--where we can make efforts, but ultimately we get nowhere as we set ourselves back.

For those of us who are trying to lose weight or prepare for a marathon, is eating that doughnut really going to help our cause? Doubtful. Be cautious of the people you spend time with, because the decision on whose company you keep is just as any other. Those people will either build you up and encourage you to make the best decisions or they’ll let you slack and you’ll fall further and further away from reaching that potential. Your career and education are important things, they build the rest of your life. So, when you make the decision to buy a car or a boat, does that decision bring you closer to your goal or further from your goal? Being wise with your finances and resources is one of the most important skills you can develop.
