One of the most critical aspects of life that is often undervalued is the power of our simple daily decisions. Too often we believe simple choices are unimportant or irrelevant to our big dreams. For example, we fail to connect how eating an unhealthy snack today may contribute to our poor health tomorrow or how our wasted time today will impact our results in the future. It is important to know that small choices accumulate and overtime become our success or our grief.
Everyday small decisions are the road map to our success as they steer us indisputably toward our destiny. If we learn to make good simple decisions daily and consistently, overtime it will produce great results. This is an undeniable fact. Each day we are capable of making small yet exceptional choices that will shape our future in a positive way. As Robert K. Cooper explained in his book The Other 90%, “although we may dream about our future in splendid images, we must live our lives in practical everyday actions, one after another.” These actions are the bedrock for happiness and success.
Our life is not mostly shaped by an occasional large decision that may come our way from time to time, but rather by our daily small decisions. It’s in small decisions where success and failures are won. And as we make good small daily decisions, it will become easier and easier to make good large decisions when they do come.
Indeed it has been said that if we tell a man what we are doing today, he will be able to tell us the person we will be tomorrow. What we are doing right now matters! However small or insignificant right now seems, it matters!
So let’s start today, right now, to be conscious of our daily small decisions and believe they hold the key to our future. For what we do today, right now, will determine who we become tomorrow.
