WHO’S THE MASTER?

“The self is not ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.”

Are you in control of your future by the decisions you are making?  Are they strategic and calculated?

The choices we make today will have a direct impact on where we are and who we strive to be in the future.  Remember the college application process…URGH!  Not only were your parents on your back telling you how important it is to choose the right school; you too were hard on yourself (I know you hate admitting it…but you were).  You knew that choosing the right school would be vital for setting the foundation needed to “succeed”, especially in competitive corporate America. 

And guess what?  It didn’t stop there…

You stressed about choosing the right major, getting into the best classes, and let’s not forget stalking that professor that you, without a doubt, had to have.  Shall I even mention the internship arena?  LOL, it was like a blood bath.

Back then, we were so focused and driven to master the decision making process because we refused to accept anything less than the best outcome.

What happened? 

Today, we are inundated with decision making on a continuum.  Every second of every day we are making choices:   where to live, what to eat, who to friend, what to wear, how to treat others, how to treat ourselves, where to work, what to drive…  We are mentally exhausted and no longer feel empowered by the decision making process.  We have also failed to pay attention to the outcome; if any.

Basically, we’ve based our decisions on getting it out of the way and moving on… (How lazy of us)

Moving forward, let’s decide to start making calculated decisions so that the outcome impacts our life in a meaningful way.  We will be conscience of the decision making process and continue on our prosperous path to a future with outcomes that we controlled; ultimately, becoming the master’s of our own life.

Seriously, try it for a week.  I think you will be surprised to see how this little detail can make a big impact on your life.  Let me know if it worked for you…hit me up.
