Whatever success you seek will not magically spring from just one choice. Success is
built upon many, many choices that all support and enable each other. A single
positive choice is one step in the right direction. For that one step to have
any lasting consequence, you must continue to add to it. Choose a healthy,
nutritious breakfast and follow that choice with a nutritious lunch and dinner,
then continue your healthy choices, the next day and the next day.
Choose to show
up on time and do more than is asked of you, then make that choice again and
again. Give power to each positive choice by carrying it with you. As you
follow through with each choice, feel its immediate benefits and envision its
long-term value. Inspire yourself; commit yourself to make those choices
again. But you should be clear about where you are going and why. And the same
time, be focused on where are you and on the quality of the efforts you are
making right now.
Be realistic about what lies ahead, but don’t let yourself become
overwhelmed by it. Give your energy and attention to the work that’s right in
front of you; focus on the details of the progress you can make now. Immerse
yourself in giving your best to the moment. You have done much and today you
can do a good bit more. You have far to go and today you can take some solid
steps in the right direction. Observe and then live the magic of choices.
