 The Choices we make determine our future!
. I was
told early in my career that “God gave me two ends, one to think with and one to sit on, and my success in life would
be determined by which one I used the most.” While I found this statement to be quite humorous, it
made me think about the reality of its meaning; we all have choices in life and the decisions we make will determine where
we go. Every decision is important. The decision to get married, join the
United States Air Force, move to Florida, and go back to school all proved to be vitally important to my future and the future
of my family. However, the small decisions such as where to attend church, what automobile to purchase,
what neighborhood to live in, what books to read, what movies to watch, who to create relationships with, or what clothes
to wear also have long-term effects. Therefore, every decision becomes important to our future. In
the book, The Three Spanish Philosophers, by Jose Ferrater Mora, we’re reminded by Jose Ortega y Gasset
that we human beings are the only creatures on the planet that are born with the ability to choose. All
the other creatures are born and guided by what we know as instinct, of which they are unaware, and do not have the capacity
to question or change. For example, bears hibernate in the winter, salmon swim up-stream, and geese fly
south. But you and I, as human creatures, are given the power to create our own future and success.
We do exactly that every day of our lives. We put into place actions and ideas that will determine
the shape and form of our future. . What
decisions will you make this holiday season that could determine your future? .
