A Point of Choice 

Life is a grindstone. But whether it grinds us down

or polishes us up depends on us.”

L. Thomas Holdcraft, Author   

 

 

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

A point of choice

 

When you encounter a fork in the road you have reached . . . . a point of choice . . . .

 

You can take the fork to the right . . . . or you can take the fork to the left. Both paths will move up forward . . . . You have to make the choice . . . . of which path to follow . . . . and to step outside of your comfort zone. Both paths have an element of risk attached to the choice  . . . . and both paths would contribute to your success.

 

But at the same time there is a third choice . . . . the path of no choice . . . . Or the one of procrastination. The third choice initially seems to the safest because there seems to be no element of risk . . . . and you feel comfortable in what you been doing.

 

Traveling on the first two path . . . . has both risk and uncertainly. But as you make the choice to take the paths . . . . you move in the direction of goals and grow as a person. As you travel on the paths your uncertainly will melt away . . . . and you minimize your risks as a result of your actions.

 

The person that decides to take the third option of not making a choice or to procrastinate . . . . They has made their choice . . . . and the choice of inaction.

 

That person will not go further then where they stand today . . . . and in all likelihood will begin to drift backwards . . . . and further away from achieving there goals

 

The life you lead is your choice . . . . and the path you decide to follow is of your choosing. Be willing to follow your dreams . . . . and take the calculated risks that will put into the winners circle of life.

 

Your life is a point of choice . . . . the choices you make will make your life.

So very true, Lou!  I read another quote today.  It was from the Dalai Lama - “Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”

Good morning, Lou Ludwig ... another great post from you.... some folks make such bad decisions and consistently make poor choices.... that's what makes the world spin, I guess!!
