Rule 1: It's Yours!
The Power of Choice, it's not a new concept, but one I want to highlight for you. You have the opportunity with your decisions to positively or negatively effect your every day life and your future.
The greatest thing about choice is that it is always in your hands. It is always there, and no one can take it away from you. Yes, you can give it away, but there again--it's your choice!
Now to speak to this a little more, I must speak out against one of the most over used, and annoying sayings in pop culture:
"It is what it is."
Oh my goodness does that saying drive me nuts. If you say, or accept this saying, you have given your power of choice away. You always have a choice, it's there. Sometimes it's a simple fix like, you don't like the offerings at lunch. Simple fix: Pack your own. But there's always a choice in bigger situations as well, don't like the way your boss speaks to you or treats you? Big fix: explore your options and make your move. It's tough and it's scary, but you have the choice!
Big or little, every day or life changing--your decisions are just that: YOURS. Seize the opportunity and take advantage of every situation presented to you to better yourself and better your life.
