Any day we wish

Today I want to share with you a few lines from Jim Rohn. I often go back to read it and this week as I read it… I realized that you might enjoy it.

"What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life.
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all.
Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge.
Any day we wish, we can start a new activity.
Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.We can also do nothing.
We can pretend rather than perform.
And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are.
We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence.
The choices are ours to make.
But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves."
We created our circumstances by our past choices.
We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today."

Cheers,
Jephtée E.

Ahh! These words are so true, and they make me feel good and bad at the time kinda bad, that yea i brought this upon myself. And the fact is am in the middle of making so many important life decisions that i wonder whether am going down the correct path. Having said that, I will certainly think harder to ensure i make the right decision.

thanks J'tee
