The Power of Choice Rule #3—Ignore it if you dare
So thus far, we’ve talked about The Power of Choice in two
rules; It’s yours and It’s always there. No matter what, you have a choice. Easy
or painful, joyful or excruciating; it’s always there and within your reach. I
use the word “Power” to describe choices because that is exactly what you have in
your hands at the crossroads of a decision!
Much like any other power you have, the way you choose to
wield it or not, can have huge implications on you and your future. With this
rule, I say Ignore it if you Dare. I put it that way, not to scare or frighten
you, but to highlight to you the importance and impact of our choices. (And sometimes
the lack there of!) We’ve all heard it from time to time that the worst
decision you can make is no decision at all. And that is more times than not,
true. Not taking action or initiative will gain you nothing in the end. You only
have the ability to lose something when you don’t make your choice. And do you
know what you will lose when you don’t make a decision? Power. You give away
your power over your decisions and your future actions, with your current lack
of decision and action.
So again I say, with the power of your choices at hand,
you can ignore that power, if you dare.
Take control of the power you have. Make the choices that
will prove to be beneficial for you, your career, your family and your health. Take
the opportunity given to you and squeeze every little drop of power you can out
of the situation and turn it in to electricity to run your life for a while.
Use that power and continue to drive yourself to do things you never thought
you could. All with the power you have and what you can unleash with the power
of your choices.
