Every day we make hundreds or thousands of choices, some seemingly insignificant.

Those choices, cumulatively, create our future. We make our choices, and then, our choices make us. We can choose our thoughts, mindset, attitude, values, and actions, but we cannot outrun the consequences of those choices, positive or negative.

Good choices lead to increased influence with other people, improved circumstances, more options, more opportunities, and better results.

Poor choices take us in the opposite direction.

“The degree to which you accept responsibility for everything in your life is precisely the degree of personal power you have to change or create anything in your life.” Hal Elrod

Maybe you’ve had the pleasure of having a “Ridiculously Awesome” or “Powerfully Productive” day in the past. A day where you felt fully alive, in alignment, and extremely effective. A day where you got the most important things done with seemingly little effort. A day where you didn’t forget something (or someone) important, had time to exercise or eat healthy, and at the end of the day, you felt completely satisfied with how you spent your time and energy.

Whether you have experienced a day like this yet or not, they are possible. And, they begin with intentional thinking. It seldom, if ever, happens by accident. Start each day with a purposeful mindset, and you will achieve your priorities based on your values. Just a few minutes of intentional thought every morning will allow you to focus your energy, increase your influence, and make your day all that it can be!
