Choose a Better Life

Recently there have been a few things I am adamantly pursuing.  One is the publication of my book the other has to do with a life change.  As of this moment, neither of these is a “done deal.”  Neither of these things I am after have I completely achieved.  I am still striving.

But yesterday, as is often the case, as I was driving to meet with a client I was singing along with my iPod and thinking about the coming days.  As I anticipate the publication of my book early next week I am excited to see all the hard work finally pay off.  I am thankful for all the people who have helped me get to the point where Choose a Better Life: Common Sense for Uncommon Living is finally coming to fruition.  And I am positively overwhelmed with the thought of sharing it with others.

I then began thinking about the life change I am pursuing and the excitement and anticipation began bubbling over.  I have no idea when I’ll be able to say this goal has actually been achieved, but in just thinking about it I am amazed at the possibilities life has to offer.  I find increased joy in dreaming about the great things that can be accomplished; the fun things that I can do if I choose too.

And that is when it hits me again, life really is a choice.  We are given the opportunity each and every day to choose how we will spend that day.  Will we spend it being grumpy and wishing circumstances were different, or will we take steps to change our circumstances?  Will we choose to live with regret or will we choose to do things differently from this moment on?  Life is full of choices.

Choose a Better Life by choosing to take steps towards an exciting future.  Spend time anticipating the great things that await you and put a plan into place to achieve them.
