EVERYDAY CHOICES

Everyday we have choices to make that effect howwe will react to others or to different situations.We make decisions sometimes without realizing thatwe even had a choice. We get so tuned in to our"routine" that we never consider alternatives. Didyou know that:It is just as easy to succeed as it is to fail.It is just as easy to bekind as it is to be cruel. It is just as easy to listen as it is to talk. It is just as easy to save your money as it is to waste it
It is just as easy to call a friend as it is to watch television. It is just as easy to take a walk as it is to take a nap It is just as easy to help someone as it is to hurt them. It isjust as easy to have a positive outlook as it is to be negative. It is just as easy to get up at 6:30 as it is to getup at 8:00. Life is determined by a series of choices, each one building on the one before. The significance of each individual choice may not seem thatgreat. When added together, however, it is all the choices you make that combine to put you where youare. Most people agonize over the big choices and don'teven think about the little ones, though the littlechoices are what make the big ones possible. Making the little choice every day to get up early andget right to work, enables you to eventually make thebig choices such as where to live and what kind ofwork to do. Little choices such as what to eatand how much exercise to get will eventually determine how long and how well you live. Every moment of every day is an opportunity. What you do with that opportunity is determined by the little choices you make along the way
