"You are always only one choice away from changing your life."
~ Marcy Biochowiak
Think about that. One choice, just one, can change your life forever. Simply put, your life today is what your choices have made it, but with new choices, you can change directions this very moment. For me, that idea alone is highly motivational because it offers tremendous hope, regardless of circumstances, for a better tomorrow.
Your life-changing choice may be to switch careers, to leave an abusive relationship, to go back to school, to stop drinking, to adopt a child, to start a business, to lose weight, to start a charity…to name a few. If you have the courage to do so, you could make any one of those choices, or others, today. And you would change your life.
Sometimes it’s a different kind of choice. It can be to not quit, to not give up in the face of adversity. We’ve all been there.
Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen received 77 rejections for their Chicken soup for the Soul. They had to make a decision each time…should they throw in the towel and say enough is enough, or should they keep trying to pursue their dreams? You know the rest of the story. The 78th publisher said "Yes" and they went on to sell over 100 million books,
So never forget that you are only one choice away from changing your life. Do you have the courage to make it?

sometimes it doesn’t even have to be major…I decided recently that everytime something ‘negative’ arose I would find a way around it.
just yesterday I got onto the bus and found that the aircon was up soooooo high that I was rapidly chilling. someone asked the driver to turn it down and she said it was set by the company! (I must ask my local bus rep).
so what to do? I decided there and then I could either sit there for 40mins and feel cold OR I could over come it. I chose to overcome it by taking out my latest library book and getting stuck in.
yes I still felt chilly but it wasn’t soooooo bad and the trip went fast as I was engrossed in the book.
Just happened to come across this article. Today I posted an article with a similar thought. Mine was on change and basically how it is the fear of the unknown.
Great view for what is happening to many people in today’s economy. Many are losing jobs and do not know where to turn. It only takes one choice for them to make a difference.
Thanks for such a compelling article.
