There is always Two Way
Do
you remember the old movies? in which there will be two best friends/two twice.
They both play together, study together in the same school, have common
friends. But when they become elder, one becomes 'Police Inspector" and
others become "Thief". Have you seen it...? I hope yes..
I
mean from this story is that they grew up together in the same environment, had
the same facilities, had the same friends circle. Then why one became 'Police
Inspector" and others became "Thief." One became 'Extremely successful”
and others became "Extremely failure."
Do
you have any idea.....Why one became 'Extremely successful” and others became
"Extremely failure?(Comment in the box)
Now,
just think that the two boys from the story are you. There is a big possibility
that you end up like one of friend (successor or failure). What are the reasons
behind it? What decides that you become a successor or failure in your life? It
is nothing but just the choices that you make in daily life.
Let's
assume that you take roughly ten choices in a day and each choice takes one
step forwards in the two directions. It may take you to towards your ideal self
or the worst self.
Example:
you have a choice to wake up early morning and late morning. If you choose to
wake up early morning then it will take you towards the ideal self and if you
choose to make up late morning then it leads to the worst self.
As
I assumed that you make ten choices per day, which takes you ten steps, either
direction. But there is a possibility that your choices do not lead you to any
of the direction "Neutral". Maybe you make your choices in such a
way. You stand in middle, not a successor or a failure. Many of us are in that
range.
Example: Suppose that you make choices that lead you towards one direction and also the same amount in opposite direction. Five good choices and five bad choices. Basically, each choice canceling each other out. If you are in this stage or any of one "successor or a failure." Don't worry. Just be with me till the end then you will know what to do to solve your problem.
Let's
imagine if you were making five good choices and five bad choices. If you can replace just one of the negative choices from your daily life. Now, you make six steps towards your ideal
self and 4 steps back to worst self. Here, we observed that one positive choice
leads you 20 percent towards your ideal self.
Suddenly
you reached a completely different position. Definitely, there will be a
different picture if you make better choices every day. But this is highly
unrealistic because no one can constantly do this. However, it is not necessary
to do it constantly. Just make good choices more often than bad ones. Here the
only one thing that matters the most that you are heading forward to your ideal
self and the correct path.
Here,
I will tell you how to make good choices more often than bad ones. Just keep in mind, next time, you jump on the
sofa/bed to watch Netflix/Amazon/T.V or play a video game, then just think for
20 seconds and ask yourself. It is the best choice or there is something better
which you can do instead of watching Netflix/Amazon/T.V or play a video game. I
do not about you. But I try to think about what would the ideal version of me
do in this kind of situation? I can assure you that questioning ourselves is
really helpful. It allows us to pause our behavior, and readjust our actions if
required.
Furthermore,
we have to understand if we desire to become an ideal version of ourselves, we
have to do it now, what our best version would. Not later, not next time, not
tomorrow, not next week, but now.
I
know many of us love to delay our actions. They feel that in the future they
will somehow become more energetic, more motivated, and work harder and all
will be well. But they do not know that this habit keeps them away from their
own true potential capacity. Most of them do not have any idea that in the
future, they will not become magically different human beings. They will be the
same person as they are today if they do not take any actions to become a
better person as required. By the time it is detected, most people have spent many
years on the wrong path. Because they always kept thinking that they will
change in the future, but in the end they never did. Now they have to make many
good daily choices just to return on track.
That
is why questioning is very important if we desire to become an ideal version of
ourselves, we have to do it now, what our best version would. Not later, not
next time, not tomorrow, not next week, but now.
What
we will become in the future is mainly based on the choice-making process in
daily life. So make sure you should ask yourself what your best version would
in every situation.
Choice
has the power to impact our future. We may not able to see the importance of
our choice today, even not tomorrow. We will notice it when our choices already
affect us adversely over time.
So,
as of now we able to understand that if we make good choices more over time, it
will lead to the path of success "Ideal Self", or when we repeat
continuously bad choices over time it will lead to the path of failure
"Worst Self". I hope now you
understand the power of choice.
So,
the question is to you that which version will choose to be "Today"(Comment

Here, I want to understand how the
choices lead us to the way of success or failure. So, I have asked in the form
regarding ten common choices which we will take in our daily life. I kindly
request you to please answer correctly and unbiased. The link is given below.
