A wise mentor once told me that your life will be made up of 90% choices and 10% unexpected circumstances.  Obviously, the latter is made up of those things that you probably won’t understand on this side of eternity.  This principle, for the most part, has proved true in my life.  Therefore, I would say that life is based mostly on our choices.<\/p>\n

So how much thought do you put into your choices?  Do you spend more time thinking about sports and entertainment?  Sadly, most Americans spend little time thinking about their choices.  Life is a limited-time offer, so we’d all due well to give more thought to something so powerful.<\/p>\n

If you struggle with making good choices, try this exercise on for size:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go cause and affect, think through three major decisions in a day and measure the result of what you choose.<\/li>\n
  2. Examine the results the next day to see how far reaching the choice becomes.  For example, do you rejoice or lament over your choices?<\/li>\n
  3. Do the above for twenty-one days (habit forming).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Remember, life was never meant to be "easy," and growth implies change.  Good choices will produce a good life…that’s very epic indeed.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
