Leigh St John Will your Future Self Thank you?.........
Many years ago when I was going through a really rough time, I read the phrase, “you are where you are in life
because of the choices you have made”.
Obviously, when things aren’t going well, the last piece of wisdom you want to hear is that it’s somehow of your own
making and so I did what many do, I said that wasn’t the case ~ my situation was different ...
Move forward to now and I am a firm believer that where we are in our life is exactly where we asked to be because
of the choices we make (or don’t make) every single day.
Think about it ... do you have the financial situation you want in your life? Consider how that could have been
different if you had made different choices ... Do you have the fitness level you want in your life? How have choices
you’ve made brought you to the body you do have today? Do you have the relationships you want in your life?
“Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.” Barbara De Angelis
I’m not saying your choices are right or wrong ones....what I am saying is that your current life is a direct result of
those choices and your actions in you past.
So, whether or not you agree with me, let’s just imagine for a moment that what you do today, the choices you
make today, have a profound effect on your tomorrow...
“Leaders live by choice, not by accident.” Mark Gorman
What is one bold, inspired action you can take today that you will remember fondly for years to come? What can you
do today that your future-self will thank you for?
What is one thing you always wanted to do, but never made it a high-enough priority in your life to decide to actually
DO it?
“Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse
to change any and every part of your life in an instant.” Anthony Robbins
This day – today – matters! This moment matters... Are you going to read this page and do something you will be
grateful for in days and months to come, or are you going to say that your situation is different?
Every conscious action is a choice and you are where you are right now because of the choices you have made.
“Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Decide what you want and go for it with all your heart ... Make daily choices that take you closer to your goal ...
There’s an old saying, “a year from now you’ll wish you started today”.
Stories abound of now-famous people who have overcome incredible obstacles because they decided not to quit, not
to listen to the critics - they decided to make moment-by-moment choices that were in the direction of what they
wanted in life ~ choices their future-self would thank them for ...
“When you make a choice, you change the future.” Deepak Chopra
So, will your future-self look back on today and be grateful for what you did today, the choices you made today and
the actions you took today? The choice my friend, as always, is yours to make ...
