Feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of making some Big Choices? Here is something you can try today to take some of the discomfort out of the process:
First, recognize just how many little choices you already make in an hour, in a day.
Then work on focusing your attention on making as many of these little choices as possible with positive & expansive thoughts in mind (rather than fear-based autopilot feelings).
Simple, but surprisingly effective. Give it a try!
People often complain that they have “no control”.
But this doesn’t always accurately reflect what’s really going on.
In fact, quite often the reality is that people do indeed have at least some measure of control, but they are simply not choosing to exercise it.
Many people are actually smarter than they think. Unfortunately, they never find out because they refuse to think.
Some people, once they’ve started exercising more, find it easier to improve their eating habits.
Others, once they’ve started eating better, find it easier to improve their exercise habits.
I think you’ll find it surprisingly useful to figure out which type you are.
Hope belies confidence in a desired outcome.
And without that confidence, you’re not sincerely motivated to try.
And if you don’t really try, you don’t really expect your outcome.
To rely on hope makes you timid, uncertain and passive.

Don’t hope – just believe in yourself.
I respect individuals who take personal responsibility for their own lives – who take full responsibility for everything they Think & Feel, as well as all the Effects & Outcomes of what they themselves Think & Feel.
People who choose to live this way cultivate self-respect rather than self-righteousness, and are a credit to humanity.
P.S. What are you cultivating?
