We know objectively that we are going to die; that we don’t have unlimited amounts of time. Yet we spend our time as if we unlimited amounts of it. The reason for this is that the consequences of what we do today is deferred so far into the future that we can get away with it.
People have so many opportunities in life. Think about bucket lists and to-do lists. But how many of these opportunities that you have had to date in your life, have you completed?
Most people want to be successful, whatever their definition of success is. The problem is that most people don’t have a definition for what success for them looks like. In the absence of this clarity in your life, you add onto your lists, and settle for what you get. You are a passenger in your life, letting those around you decide for you.
Don’t believe it?
Where will you go next year for vacation?
Will you go where you want to?
When will be the next weekday that you take off?
What are you and your life partner doing for your next date night?
Do you have an absolute say on what you will be doing next year this time?
The answers to these questions depend on one thing only. Your choices.
And there are only two choices –
Decide what you want and go for that.
Or.
Settle for what you get.
Either way, you will get what you decide.
How do you know what you want? What success looks like for you?
Ask yourself this question every day, till your last breath – “What does an ideal day in my life look like?”
Now. In 5 years. When my kids are in high school. When my kids are out of school. When I’m 65. When I’m 80.
Remember, you will get what you decide.
