Choices are Your Stepping Stones Into the Future

 “Your choices are your stepping stones into the future.

They will determine the path you follow and

the destination that you arrive at.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Choices are your stepping stones into the future

 

Your choices . . . . will make you the person that you become.

 

Your life and your future are created in the choices you make. When there is a choice to be made . . . .  make it. A choice that’s left unmade is made for you by someone else. In those circumstances you lose control of making the choice . . . . and being in control of the outcome.

 

The choice of no action is the choice of procrastination. By procrastinating you’re accepting what is happening . . . . and allowing other to make decisions for you without your input.

 

The choice of procrastination . . . . leads to frustration.

 

Not making a choice is also a choice . . . . A choice of deferring your decision, to others to make the choice for you . . . . and living with their idea of what the results should be.

 

Once you decide not to make a choice you have lost control over your choices . . . . and surrender your decision making.

 

When you look at successful people they have a common trait. They will make tough choices . . . . when they have to be made. They will also establish what they are expecting as a result of their choices.  Successful people will step up to the table of life . . . . and make the choices that they have to make.

 

Successful people will also risk making an occasional mistake in order to succeed . . . . but they will take action and make a choice. They believe that their choices are correct . . . . and they will move forward with confidence to carry out their choices to create a successful results. 

 

When there’s a choice to be made . . . . make it . . . . and move forward.

 

Choices are your stepping stones into the future . . . . and you create your future one choice at a time.

I agree with William that no one can make me choices but you and that you are not a tree: if I don't like where I am I can leave and move on to something else.

Back in the 1980's I watched a mini series, The THORNBIRDS. Through the years the following lines in the movie have remained with me.

"I don't know and never will how much of our lives we're allowed to choose and how much is decided long before we're born. But looking back, I now see choices I could have made - and didn't."

Life is about choices.

It may take me a little time to make a decision sometimes, but I always make it.  I've never been a procrastinator! Everything we do is a choice, including not making a choice, LOL!

Regarding choice,and decisions, my dad always said, "If you don't know what to do, don't do anything at all."  Making hasty decisions can be bad.
