"Life Is The Sum Of All Your Choices"
-Albert Camus
Welcome and thank you for returning to the Straight Up Mindset Blog. This is the April edition of the blog. This month's series is the Legacy Series and this week's topic is Choices.
In our previous topic Create Your Legacy we talked about leaving a legacy for your family and others to follow and build off of. Well in order to create your legacy you have to make the proper choices that lead up to that. We are all presented with choices at every juncture in our lives. Big or small each choice we make guides us down a path that leads us to another choice.
You cant escape it and you cant just ignore it. If you are not at the place you want to be in life, you can easily back track to each decision you have made in your life to determine where you went astray. Now remember, some choices are harder than others. In order to create the legacy you want you must make some hard decisions. Sacrifices must be made, but are you willing to make those sacrifices? See, these are the type of choices that need to be made. Are you going to lay in bed and watch TV or are you going to go to the gym and get your workout in so you can live a healthy lifestyle? That choice can in turn influence someone else to start working out and eating right.
Will you go out and party with your friends? Or will you stay home, put in the extra effort to study so you can pass your exams to graduate and get your degree? That can also influence someone to go back to school and finish their degree because they have seen you do it. You sparked a fire in them to complete that goal. We said it in the previous blog, it's the ripple effect that we are after. What you do and the choices you make not only effect you but it can influence others to make a change in their life for the better.
Not every choice you are presented with is a crossroads moment, but each decision big or small can change the trajectory of your life. It can open one door and close another. It can lead you to a dead-end or take you to the promise land. So be cognizant of the choices you make and be sure that helps and not hinders you from achieving your goals and creating the legacy you want to leave behind
