Every day in life people are left to make decisions. This morning when i woke up, i had the choice of black or white socks. Then i had the choice of route to take to work. Then what to eat for breakfast. Ok, maybe not that one, i have a shake at 230am then one at 600am. I use an isolate to replenish what i burn with a slower burning casianate (Max Triple Whey, Max High 5) for both of those. But then the food decisions start. Owning a business, my decisions dont end with food. I have to think what is best for each client and each goal. What products to order, what marketing. Then i have to figure out what is best for my personal relationships.
Some people have hard decisions to make daily. Decisions that deal with pain, addiction, love, hate, religion, etc. Every time things can be looked at from different angles in different ways. Each one looks right and rationalizing what is right and wrong is what makes our society the way it is.
I make a conscious effort to make the right decisions in regard to the things i can control. My workouts: the intensity, duration, quality of exercise. My food: lean meats, veggies, high quality protein, proper vitamins.
The choices you make in your day define who you are as a person. Deciding what your heart truly desires and sticking to it. Making the right decision even when the thing you may want most is a choice away. If you take that choice, you may compromise a few values, a few promises to yourself. But whats a promise to yourself cost? could be morals and ethics. could snowball like the choice to cheat your nutrition. Could cost you your marriage or relationship with a loved on or a great friend. Is it worth that? Those are the tough decisions.
Whatever you decide, the only person who can judge you is you. You always have a choice. There is always a way to keep who you are in tact. its a matter of deciding to do what you believe, knowing that a step back could mean a jump forward.
When i write, i dont intend to preach, i do not judge anyone but myself. No one is harder on me than me. When i have to make a decision, i analyze and analyze and over analyze. I still have made bad decisions. Moving to california was made for the wrong reasons and staying there was made for the wrong reason as well. Both situations i learned from and finally made the positive thought process a way of life. I tell people you dont have to do what i do but take it and make it your own. Thats it. Bend it to you. your choice.
