Think of the biggest accomplishment you’ve had in your life.
Getting hired for that dream job.
Overcoming a huge hurdle.
Starting a family.
Running successful business.
It was a pretty big decision to say “Yes”
To that job offer
To changing your life for the better
To growing your family
To risk in return for a successful business
But was it actually just one big decision?
Or is your destination simply the sum of its parts?
The result of the compound effect of many small decisions?
You are constantly making decisions in life.
When to wake up.
What to wear.
Which food to eat.
What to work on.
Who to speak to.
Where to go.
What to focus on.
What to say.
What not to say.
And so on.
You’re always in “decision-making mode”, even if the decision you’re about to make seems insignificant.
Or seemingly unconscious.
But ask yourself…
Is this small decision actually insignificant?
Or is it a fork in the road of my life journey?
And will the compound effect of all of the resulting decisions veer me off in a direction far from where I originally intended to go?
Therefore, the small decisions you make every day
are leading you further in a particular direction.
Where might that direction lead?
How will this decision affect further decisions down the road?
You didn’t just say “Yes”
To that job offer
To changing your life for the better
To growing your family
To risk in return for a successful business
You’ve made countless decisions that lead you to this moment.
