What “little decisions” are you going to get right today?

“Life is all about the little decisions you make every day. You can’t change the decisions of the past, but every new day is another opportunity to make the right ones.”

There isn’t a single decision you have ever made that you can redo. It is done; there are no “do-overs.” Sure, you can make decisions to try and undo bad choices or to change something when the outcome of a particular decision wasn’t favorable. But you never get the time back; you can never make that specific decision again.    

The average human lifespan in the United States is 79 years. Let’s break this down a bit.

  • 79 years X 365 is 28,835 Days + 20 to account for Leap Years = 28,855 Days
  • On each of these days, we all have the same 24 hours.  
  • We are sleeping for 8 hours (on average), so that means that we have 16 hours each day to focus our time on making good decisions that affect the rest of our days GOING FORWARD.  

There is no looking back. Every decision you make in those few and precious hours will determine how your future life is defined. Not every decision will be perfect, but every day we each have a new sixteen-hour slate by which to form and create the life we were born to live.  

Knowing this, what decisions are you going to make today?
