YOU HAVE A CHOICE

January 4, 2012

We have a billion choices everyday. What to eat. What to wear. What time to get up. What TV shows to watch. The list could go on forever.

Of all the choices that we make, most of them seem pretty small and insignificant. Wearing a red shirt instead of a blue shirt hardly seems significant. But what if our little decisions actually made a huge impact? What if the little choices we make ended up being huge?

When it comes to changing the world, of all the people that I’ve studied and interviewed, one common theme is that they all had a choice.  They had a choice of how to spend their time, how to invest their money, and how to treat people. They could have spent their money on something else. They could have invested their time in other activities. They could have treated people completely different. They had a choice. And so do you.

Changing the world is a choice. It is not reserved for the few. It is not reserved for only the rich. It is not reserved only for the creative or brilliant. Changing the world is reserved for those that make the choice.

Today you have the same choice. You can choose to invest in things that will make a huge impact. You can choose to execute on that idea you dream of starting.  You can choose to put it off (again) until tomorrow.

You can choose.

You have the choice.
