Why Make Choices for Everything That’s in Your Life’s Paths?

Because when you make choices, you take control.

From the moment you wake up, you’re making choices in and for your life’s paths.

Hit the snooze or get out of bed? Pee or feed the cats? Drink a glass of water or start the coffee? Shower now, later, or not at all?

Though they might seem utterly mundane and insignificant — they still matter. Why? Because they’ll impact everything else you do today.

Hit snooze, and you might doze off and run late as such. Don’t shower? You might find you offend yourself with your body odor later in the day and make choices based on that. All choices accumulate, and all the little choices you make day in and day out add up to bigger things.

What’s more, when you choose not to choose, you cede control. That means that the unexpected can easily sneak up on you and catch you flatfooted.

True, that can happen even when you make choices. But when you don’t, it’s going to be more difficult. Why? Because if you’ve been living by rote, routine, and habit — subconsciously — choices have still been made. They were just passive.

Until a thing occurs that brings them to your conscious awareness.
