BOLD Choices

You are only one choice away from changing your life

Think about that. One choice, just one, can change your life forever. Simply put, your life today is what your choices have made it, but with new choices, you can change directions this very moment. For me, that idea alone is highly motivational because it offers tremendous hope, regardless of circumstances, for a better tomorrow.

Your life-changing choice may be to leave a negative relationship, to go back to school, to live a healthier lifestyle, to adopt a child, to start a business, to lose weight, to start a charity...just to name a few. If you have the courage to do so, you could make any one of those choices today and that choice would change your life. Sometimes it's a different kind of choice. It can be to not quit or not to give up in the face of adversity. We've all been put in those situations.

Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen received 77 rejections for their idea Chicken Soup for the Soul. They had to make a decision each time, should they throw in the towel and say enough is enough, or should they keep trying to pursue their dreams? You know the rest of the story. The 78th publisher said “yes” and they went on to sell over 100 million books.

So never forget that you are only one choice away from changing your life. Do you have the courage to make it?
