The
Power of Your Choice
Choice
- it's what separates greatness from mediocrity. Greatness
comes
From
recognizing that our potential is limited only by what we
choose, including the barriers we choose. It takes confidence
in ourselves to make choices that are right for us. While
mediocrity is neither good nor bad, it's a choice to be average.
We each have the freedom of choice, and we are the product
of our choices and determination.
What
does this mean? Greatness is in the myriad of choices that
we make everyday. Such as what to wear, what project to handle,
which team member to hire, which stocks to invest in, etc.
It's the simple and tough choices that define our greatness.
Some are made through unconscious habits while others require
focused thought. When we feel stuck it is usually because
we do not trust ourselves to make the 'right' decision. Focusing
on one choice and taking action provides power and momentum.
Think
about it. We are the same as Donald Trump, Bill Gates and
Madonna...except for the choices they make and the choices
we make. They have a vision, stay focused on their vision
and trust themselves in making choices that are right for
them. They have confidence even when others doubt.
It's
been said that we are each just one choice away from greatness.
Where do you choose to place your focus? Here are some options
that give you power: |
