A Decision Away

Life is a series of decisions. The life you live today is exactly the result of the decisions you made in the past, and the future you hope for will be proof of the choices you make in the present. 

Everything is about choices. From the moment we wake up to the time we lay our heads down, every action we take is born out of a choice. Some decisions seem small, like what to eat, what to wear and what route to take to work, but they aren’t insignificant. 

Other decisions, however, are monumental, like what career to pursue, who to marry, or where to live. But the truth is, each choice, no matter how trivial it may seem, has the power to shape the trajectory of our lives.

Think of your decisions as vehicles. Every choice is a car, and you are the driver. Where you end up depends on how you steer. The good news is, no matter how many wrong turns you’ve taken, the power to redirect your life is just a decision away.

It’s easy to underestimate the impact of our decisions, which is why people often trivialize things that influence them. However, if only we knew the power of our choices, we wouldn’t be swayed easily by things and people, or even our emotions in decision-making. 

James Clear, writes, “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” This means that every choice, no matter how small, is an opportunity to move closer to your goals and purpose.

For instance, choosing to attend a seemingly insignificant event could lead you to meet someone who becomes your business partner. Deciding to apply for that job you felt unqualified for could open doors to opportunities you never imagined.

Equally, neglecting to make a decision or making one carelessly can have ripple effects. Your choices hold power. With every decision, you are shaping your story, building your legacy, and aligning or misaligning yourself with your purpose.

No matter where you find yourself today, remember this: you are only a decision away from changing your life. So, therefore, don’t rush into decisions, especially major ones. Take a moment or several to pray, reflect, and seek counsel. 

Whether it’s the decision to let go of a toxic relationship, pursue a long-held dream, or simply take better care of yourself, you have the power to steer your life in a new direction.

Don’t take your choices lightly, else you could watch the key to your breakthrough slip right through your hand because you failed to be intentional about a simple decision. 

Treat each one of your decisions as seeds you’re planting. With time, the harvest will reveal whether you chose well or poorly.

So, as you read today’s post, take a deep breath,  lean on God, trust His leadings and remember: the life you dream of is just one purposeful decision away and it is found in the daily choices you make, the small steps you take, and the intentionality you bring to every decision. 

So, take the wheel with confidence, and drive toward the life you were created to live.
