We do this sometimes consciously and many times we are not even aware that we have done this ONE action because it has been ingrained in our physic since we were infants.
- and that one thing is "Making DECISIONS!'
This mental action is our internal mental wand that is powerful yet sometimes so subtle we are not even aware we have taken action, For example:
"It's early morning and your eighteen-month old baby, Julie, wakes up Next thing you know ...Julie is standing next to your bed looking you dead in the eye. "What just happened?" Well, little Julie made a decision upon waking and standing in her crib. She wanted to see 'Mommy and Daddy', so her thoughts entertained the decision to climb out of her crib. That decision drove her into a action and her goal was achieved.
Julie is now with Mommy and Daddy."
Now, Julie was not consciously aware that this was a decision she made. However, as we get older we absolutely do become aware of what 'decisions' are and the role they play in influencing the quality of life we have. You see, in our lifetime we make endless decisions which affect the things we do, words we speak and thoughts we entertain. Some are incidental like making a decision on what type of pizza we want, Other
decisions are life changing ones like the decision to 'go to college, or not.'
Life experiences over the years has a hug impact on your 'next decision' because we come to know how that one split second thought to take action based on a decision can impact our life immediately, next week or perhaps years from now. Life allows you control over your thoughts, your words, your priorities and all funnel into the type of action you eventually will take. Those actions based on an initial decision determine one day the type of
retirement you will have. The type of lifestyle you will live for the rest of your life. Everyone's 'decision' on the quality of life they have in retirement will be different, Know why? ..because goals decided in the early years based on the decision..."this is the lifestyle I wish to have in retirement," were supported by your prioritized actions, thus your goals were achieved. Choose wisely because your quality of life in the retirement years
can only be enhanced by redirecting or enhancing your decision choices in these pre-retirement years.
