Big decisions and small decisions


A bit of navel gazing:

Life is full of decisions, most of them are small, in fact so small that you don't realise that you are making them (well I don't or didn't)
  • You choose to eat the cake that is put in front of you, you shouldn't let the person offering the cake make the decision on your behalf, it's up to you.
  • You chose to do your homework instead of watching TV (or not as the case may be)
  • You got out of bed to go to lectures in college
  • You do or don't do those extra bits of work that make the difference between OK and good
  • You choose to watch TV instead of training outside in the rain (as a general rule) 

     I am beginning to think that it is these small decisions that have just as much, if not more influence over your life than the big decisions that you agonise over such as buying a house or having more kids. The small decisions make you who you are as a person and it is who you are that ultimately make the big decisions
    If you start to attach more importance to the small decisions, I think you are more inclined to make better choices.

    Or at least, loose weight.
    I agree.
    How about the things that other people decide & affect your life?
    This is not a grandson of mine.

  2. That's something different, but it's still you deciding how to deal with it.

    Consistency is key
