It’s About Choices

One of the things I’ve done each morning for the past few years is listen to something motivational, especially on weekday mornings as I am driving to work. Two things that been a true blessing in my life are YouTube and Bluetooth. Currently, I drive a Kia Sorento. While I liked this vehicle when I purchased it, I totally fell in love with it when my coworker introduced me to its Bluetooth capabilities. The car I had prior to this I bought brand new in 2006 and apparently Bluetooth capabilities were not as popular in cars then. Even though I truly had no idea what Bluetooth was when I purchased my Kia in 2017, within a few months, it changed my life for the better.
Les Brown says that what we hear within the first twenty minutes of waking up in the morning is essential to how are day is going to go. You want to know how I know? I heard him say it as I listened to one of his motivational speeches on YouTube through Bluetooth in my car on my morning drive to work. Mr. Brown often encourages his listeners to make conscience decisions to do things for the better. Whether that means strategic goal planning, listening to motivational ‘tapes’ or attending a seminar that interests you. In all that you do, it’s about making choices.
There are some choices we might make that we are absolutely certain about and everything about that choice may go south. We may end up completely devastated that things didn’t go our way however, the great thing is that as long as we are still breathing, we can make a different choice. We must keep moving toward that goal so that we are in even closer proximity to our dream. What we hear, what we say and especially what we say to ourselves can go a long way in helping us to become and be that which we want to be.

So you see, it’s all about choices. Something else Mr. Brown says is that while a dog can’t be anything but a dog and a tree can’t be anything but a tree, you; you can be anything you want to be. You just have to make the decision to start living the life you want to live and work each day to achieve it. Try not to focus so much on how much you can get done toward your dream each day but rather on what things you can get done.
I have said it before that if I could stay home and do the one thing I enjoy the most and get paid for it, it would be writing. I may not be able to post a blog everyday, which I would absolutely love to be able to do, but I am writing something every single day. Writing is life to me however, until it is able to make me some full time money, I must keep my full time job and make the choice to work on my dream every day.
By the way, a few others that I listen to in my car thanks to YouTube and Bluetooth are:
Eric Thomas – Now if you need some fire…this is the man to listen to because he will bring it each and every time
Willie Moore, Jr
Priscilla Shirer
Sarah Jakes Roberts
Michael Todd
Basically, find what works for you and make a decision every morning to work your plan. Listen to or read something motivational or of interest to you each day. Trust me…it helps!
It doesn’t have to just be a dream. It CAN be your reality…:)
