You Are One Choice Away From Your Dream
The life of an individual can be summed up as a product and collection of their individual choices. As the day breaks, it will deliver you with its choices - like the purpose to pursue, the step to take, who to become, the relationships to make, how to respond to the challenges of life, etc. People tend to overlook the power that is embedded in a single choice. Just to let you know, one single choice that you make can change, to an unimaginable extent, the course of your life. You may not know how just one choice can alter and transform the course of your life. The power that is contained in a single decision cannot be underestimated. One step that is taken, whether consciously or subconsciously, can influence a lot of things in your life.
Throughout history, there are lots of people who, at some points, took bold decisions that changed, not just the course of their lives, but humanity at large. Even in our contemporary times, one decision that you make can lead to a ripple effect of results. For example, a student that makes the decision to always wake up at night instead of sleeping to read for minimum 2 hours daily. By the time exam comes and they pass with flying colours, you may not know the reason, but he took a decision and made a choice that changed his academic life. Even in your relationships with people, you can make a decision to leave a toxic one, so as to find time to heal mentally. Even in your career, you can decide on the path to follow and the discipline to pursue.
Some people may tend to think that change requires some really massive step or a very big event to trigger it. But what they fail to realise is that some of the amazing transformation that has ever happened in the history of humankind started by just a single decision, which, sometimes began quietly. There are moments that can shift one's destiny and can create amazing impacts. For example, the moment you make a choice to say "yes" even when fears may tell you otherwise, the choice to try again where you had failed, the choice to speak up in the face of injustice even though you may not be the one directly involved, etc. All these choices can set a precedence, not just for you but for others too.
One of the beautiful things about life is that it does not matter how many wrong turns that you have made in the time past, there is still a possibility of a right u-turn. That is, it is not late, no matter how long you have been on the wrong decision, to take the right decision. The power of a single choice to rewrite the chapters of your life is without question. Everything that happens, no matter what they are, will always leave you with choices to make. Your choices may seem small, and may even appear to be inconsequential to someone else, but in the long run, the effects that may be birthed by them will be unimaginable.
In order to make crucial life's decisions, you will need clarity of mind and courage. By clarity; I mean having an in-depth knowledge of the dream you want to fulfill, or the destination you want to arrive at, or what you want to do. Then the courage part talks about taking the daring steps to put actions to your choices. One of the reasons a lot of people hesitate to take steps is because of fear - majorly fear of the unknown. However, the truth is that life will continue and will not stop with or without you. So it is in your utmost good interest to take that step and make the decision with courage. It does not mean that you are immune to failure, but it means that you are not scared of failure. Your decision in the face of fear will determine if you will be bound by the fear or if you will break lose from it.
