BusinessManUnicycle.jpgIf is to be it is up to me, you have heard this phrase said once or twice in your life I am sure. Yet we do not fully comprehend the magnitude of it's meaning. The direction of our lives, businesses and careers is deeply impacted by two very powerful things that we do every single day- Choice and Action.

Where you are right now is a result of the choices you have made over the years that have led you exactly where you have landed up, OUCH! All you need to do to change your life then is to focus on these two things the choices you make and the actions you take.

Everyday we are faced with thousands of choices and decisions, like whether to get up in the morning or not, what to eat and the list goes on. Most of the choices we make have become automatic because they have become habits. Habits are like a pre recorded choices that your body makes automatically due to the frequency with which they are made. A good movie to watch is CLICK acted by Adam Sandler, in it his decisions startclick.jpg to go on autopilot until he is no longer in control. Lesson here is that we need to choose carefully what habits we develop and what habits we avoid. Let's look at the power of choice and action in some specific areas of your life:

Relationships:

In all our relationships are dependent on what we choose and what we do. You can choose to put more value in those you love and are in relationship with. This will be seen in your actions and your words everyday. Choosing to value your loved one might mean making time to connect with them, encouraging them with your words and  putting them first in some things.

Career:

We can change the direction of our careers by choosing carefully where we want to be in the future and asking ourselves what we need to do to get there. The lift to your career success is out of order you gonna have to use the stairs and get there one step at a time.

Finances:

The same applies to your finances, you can choose financial freedom today and start pursuing it. This will mean choosing to have a financial plan for your near and long term future. It will also mean choosing to eliminate unnecessary debt in your life, you can choose to adopt a debt free or minimal debt lifestyle. Finally you can choose to invest in the best way possible for you and sticking to that. By investing a R100 to a R1000 a month you can greatly change your financial future.

So there it is! The power is in your hands. The power of choice and action. Choice alone will get you nowhere, action alone without carefully thought out decisions will lead your to disaster. So the two remain Choice and Action togethe
