Decisions Design Your Destiny
by Linda-Ann Stewart
You make decisions every day, such as what to eat, what to wear, what task to do, what to say, and much more. The life you have today is based on the choices you've made in the past. You choose what you want, either consciously or unconsciously. Then your choice leads to making a decision, which then results in some sort of outcome. The decisions you make today will create the life you have tomorrow and beyond.
Have your decisions brought you the results you want? If you don't like your outcomes, your power lies in being able to make different choices. But what is it that really makes you choose what you do?
What Influences Your Decisions?
There are some basic motivations that compel your decisions. Once you understand what influences your choices, you can adjust them.
- Expediency. You quickly make a choice so you can move onto something else.
- Past Beliefs. Old ideas unconsciously drive your choices, which may undermine what you consciously want.
- Habit. You automatically fall into an old pattern of choice without thinking about it.
- Fear. This can prompt you to avoid making a choice, or it can cause you to take action because of the consequences if you don't.
- Desire. You have something you really want, so you choose to go for it.
- Goals. You use your goals as a frame for your choices.
Your Decisions Create Your Life
When you make a choice, you have to abandon other options and possibilities. Once you've chosen your course of action, follow through on it. And each decision brings consequences, or rewards and positive outcomes.
If your decision hasn't brought what you want, reassess your original choice. Is it in alignment with your defined goal, vision or your intention? If not, and you were to choose differently, what would your choice be? Make a different decision based on your new choice.
When your decision leads you to what you'd hoped for, then it's done its work. Each decision, and the action you take concerning it, creates your life. You have the power. Choose your decisions according to the life you want to be living.
