You are what you are, thanks to the choices you made

Monday, March 22nd, 2010 at 1:42 pm

You are where you are right now, thanks to the choices you have made (or have not made).

We make choices every day, from the moment we wake up to the time we fall asleep.

We decide the time to rise and the number of times to hit the snooze button.  We decide what to eat for breakfast or we may decide to leave the choice to someone else.

We decide what to wear for work and how to commute to work or we may decide to leave it on autopilot.  We decide whether we want to greet our colleagues or pretend that we are too busy to notice.  We decide what tasks to do and which one to take priority.

We decide if we wish to invite an old friend for lunch or join the guys in the department.  We choose fast food or spaghetti for lunch and coffee or tea for tea-break.

We decide to knock-off on the dot or stay behind to clear backlog.  We decide whether to stock-up groceries on our way home or head straight home.

We choose between catching up with our children and working on our laptop.  We choose between reading a motivational book and sitting in front of the television watching horror movie.

We decide whether to sign up for an interesting course or procrastinate.  We decide how to spend the weekend , family outing or business entertainment.  We decide how we want to sleep, on our back or on one side.

So, after all the decisions, are you happy with where you are right now?  If you are, that’s great!  Continue with your choices.  However, if you are not happy with where you are right now and want to be somewhere else, you have a choice.  Yes, simply by making choices, big and small, that will bring you to where you want to be. REMEMBER, you are what you are because of the choices you made. So, if you wish you change yourself or something in your life, the choice is yours.

    Hi Suhani
    Thanks for the right reminder at the right time.
    So many times we tend to forget that WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.
    So many students, workers, women, professionals are stuck in a boring
    routine, thinking there is no way out. To stay on or to move out– it’s
    a choice.
    Keep up your good work, young lady.

    CHOICE was just an English word for me, but the real meaning can be pulled out if we look into ourself, From the point of our Birth itself a decision was unreveled by almighty, so Taking the right decision at right time is apt. Thanx for reminding me mam.
