After 80 years of living & teaching others, Tom Brittain shared TEN RULES FOR LIVING and here was the 10th….Remember—in a single second, a simple decision or a single act can MAKE YOUR LIFE or DESTROY IT. Today my youngest daughter had six braces put on her upper front teeth… after only 2.5 hours, she elected to perform a front flip under water at the pool and knocked her knee into her upper lip. Yep, you guessed it…one shiny new bracket dis-lodged. The sitter called and as I prepared myself for the news…found myself moments later thrilled that it was only a loose bracket and wire.
Some of our choices on a daily basis may end up as minor accidents. Some of them may have a greater impact on our life or business. The key is to be mindful of how major decisions could yield positive or negative outcomes. One of my managers made a commitment to wait 24 hours before making any big decision. This helped her evaluate all the angles, take the emotion out of the process, talk to others for feedback, etc. We can’t change decisions made in the past, we can learn from them. We can’t change decisions made in the past, we can learn from them. Face simple decisions or acts with deliberate thoughts to help you choose wisely. Blessings and make it a great day!
