There is a commercial that
shows teenagers deciding where to hide. They choose the garage full of chain
saws. We might see that commercial and laugh but there are people who go
against their gut instinct and pay the ultimate price.
But I’m not writing about
television commercials or those decisions that end so badly. I’m sharing a
truth from my own life and observations.
Even simple choices like
what to eat or whether to go for a walk have an effect on our tomorrows.
Whether we write today or
procrastinate?
Whether we do due
diligence with my research?
Whether we read the fine
print in a contract?
Every decision we make
creates what our tomorrow will be. In some cases, it may not literally be “tomorrow”.
Unless we’ve a particular sensitivity or allergy to a particular food, let’s
use dairy for an example, the ice cream or whipped cream, whole milk, cheese we
eat today or even this week most likely will not show up as a problem.
But if we
continue, it is possible that in the future we will have health problems such
as
heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes and being overweight.
Short term gratification
can create long term health, financial and other issues because we don’t see that
there is an immediate price. Because there isn’t. If we are healthy, one piece
of cheesecake is not going to kill us.
What is helping me make
some lifestyle changes is reminding myself that the little decisions I make
each day, over time, can create problems.
To me it is clear to me
that My Choices Today Do Create My Tomorrow.
What current choice are
you considering changing so your future is better?
