Will your life change because of this book? I would never make such
claim, but here is what I know for sure: If you continue to make
choices like this, they will all come together to create the big
picture. After a speaking engagement, my audience always asks me
questions about how I got to where I am. I dont have a logical
answer to that question.
Who I am today is not the result of a single event; rather, its a
culmination of the choices I made in the past. Its the way I chose
to spend my twenty-four hours. Today you have the power to make severa
choices. My question to you is this: Will those choices give you an
advantage for the future?
Exercise
Think for a moment about what you did yesterday. Now think about the
choices you made today. Did these choices help you become a better
person or ensure you will live a better life?
1) Write down the wrong choices you made yesterdaythe way you responde
to a situation or the action you took.
2) Ask yourself: What better way could I have handled the situation
that would make me feel a better person today?
3) Are the actions I took yesterday bringing me closer to or farther
away from my goals?
4) Now write down the right and positive choices you made.
5) Describe how you feel about those good choices.
Take Control NOW To Better Your Tomorrow
Write down what you will do now to right the wrongs of yesterday.
There is nothing you can do to erase yesterdays mistakes. Life is
not like a computer. There are no delete buttons. It makes no sense
beating yourself up. Get over it! You only have control over your
tomorrow. The best way to redeem yourself is to right the wrongs of
yesterday or the last hour NOW.
Remember, our choices define who we are. Make the right choices, and
youll be on your way to your own personal success.
If You Dont Have A Target, You Cant Aim
When I ask most people about their vision or goals (such as where
they will be five or ten years from now), they usually roll their
eyes and blink a few times, but dont answer. I know that feeling; I wa
there. For years I was constantly searching for what I wanted to do
with my life. Like I said before, although I have never met you,
there is one thing I know for sure about you: You, too, are
constantly looking and searching or you wouldnt be reading this now.
We share a kindred spirit. Congratulations!
