You Ultimately Decide

You will ultimately decide the direction of your day. You can reject this concept or use it to your advantage. What is your fate?

You will ultimately decide the direction of your day. Whether good or bad, the day that lies ahead is yours to create. You can reject this concept or use it to your advantage. You ultimately decide your fate.

Accepting this as truth will empower you and enable you to have a better day. Fostering this type of reality allows you to consciously be in the director’s seat of your life, which will dramatically impact the story that will unfold for you as you move throughout your day.

We often forget the significant role that we play within our lives. We get caught up in the daily grind and drama of life, along with the fear, dysfunction and negativity that rises in our minds. We forget how influential we are and that we have the ability to lead ourselves in a way that will elevate us.

Rather than seizing the opportunity to be a conscious creator and director of our life, we settle for what turns up, sigh and relinquish our personal power. Sometimes we do it knowingly, and sometimes we do it out of ignorance and pure habit.

Undoubtedly, you can decide to blame and make excuses, and be a victim of circumstance. You can decide to be miserable and live in fear. You can decide that you are unfit and will fail. You can decide whatever you wish. You have creative license because you are the director of your life story.

Today, I want to remind you of the power that you innately possess, which positions you perfectly for experiencing whatever you want. You have the power to decide. You decide what you will do and what you will choose. You can decide to change and have a different attitude. You can decide to feel better about yourself. You can decide to be more objective and constructive.

This week give some serious thought to what kind of director you are and what is showing up in your daily life.

  • Are you leading or being mislead?
  • Are you being sucked into dysfunction or are you rising above it?
  • Do you value your role and understand your influence in your life’s story?

 

If you really would prefer your life to be different, proudly take the director’s seat, grab your megaphone and drown out any negativity, fear, excuses and blame that come your way. Lead with self-assurance and love. Decide that you are important (which you are) and constructively direct your day. Create a story that suites you and your desires, one that empowers—one that you ultimately decide.
