When you wake up in the morning, what you have before you is basically an unlimited number of opportunities.
Opportunities... why am I obsessed with that idea? More on that later, maybe.
Anyway, the moment your brain reaches consciousness, you embark on a labyrinth of decisions that ultimately determine your state at the end of the day. The first choice you probably make is whether or not to open your eyes. Then whether to get out of bed or try to fall back to sleep for a few more minutes. Then what to wear, and so on and so forth.
Think about the idea that, due to the number of possible decisions you could make during the day, there are virtually unlimited possibilities available to you by the time you reach bedtime. What if one of those possibilities was a strengthened relationship with your family? How about a more secure financial situation? Maybe a combination of things? What if there was a map you could follow that said "At choice B, turn left, and then make a quick right at choice C," showing you how to end up at a desired point at the end of the day?
I've got a theory on how to do that, but I'll save it for another post. I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

That is my problem...there are so many roads that I like. I'm never sure what to do!
ReplyDeleteI'm learning that your daily routine is the greatest factor in determining who you are. May feels like it was just yesterday! But there have been more than 73 days since then. I have a daily routine that keeps me growing, and I keep track of it on a white board in my apartment. (I have one for business and one for myself) I deduct points for missing any tasks, and look at the month's total as a true reflection of my potential and stewardship. It's not a pretty picture sometimes, but it keeps me on track. I may not know exactly which actions to take to go a certain direction career-wise, but I know EXACTLY what I need to do to become the person I aspire to be. Boyd K. Packer has said, “If you don’t know where to start, start with yourself." (I believe it has application to more than just genealogy.)
