The direction of our lives is determined by the choices we make

every day. They accumulate and add up to our ultimate destiny. Here are

eight choices you can make - choices that will create for you a life of

abundance and prosperity in all areas of your life.

1. Choose to grow personally. This sounds simple but many people only wish to grow

personally. They never choose to grow by taking action, such as

actually exercising, saving more money etc. Make a decision today to be

a person who is on the never ending journey of personal growth.

2. Choose to always treat others right. We come across all sorts of

people, many of whom will treat us poorly. We can choose to treat them

right, no matter how they treat us. When the lie, we will tell the

truth. When the cheat, we will play by the rules. We may get the short

end of the stick some times, but in the long-run we will win. And most

importantly, we will be able to sleep at night.

3. Choose to break a bad habit. Take the biggie first. Tackle it head on. If you

don't know what it is, ask a friend. Then spend every effort you can to

break that habit. Forget about the others, as you will get to them

later. Stop smoking, get out of debt, lose your excess weight. Exercise

the power to choose!

4. Choose to work smarter. Many people works with a feel like they are out of balance.
One of the first things they
should try to find out is how much time they are wasting at work, which

makes them work longer, which throws the rest of their life into chaos.

Getting your work done by diligently working in the time you have will

free your life up extraordinarily.

5. Choose to see your work as

a way to help others, and not a way to make money. If you put your

heart into helping others, the money will most assuredly come. Spend

time helping others grow and your finances will grow with it.

6. Choose to become balanced spiritually, emotionally and physically. Our

lives are best when we have these three major areas in balance. Spend

some time cultivating your spirituality, becoming emotionally healthy,

and physically fit.

7. Choose to sow more than you reap. There

are many takers in this world, but our lives will be better as we

become givers. The world will become better as we become givers. Give

away your time, give away your money, give away your love.

8. Choose to get home for dinner more often. The family is the most

important group of people you will ever belong to. Make a decision

today to grow in your relationship with your parents, siblings, spouse

and children. This one choice you will never regret.
