From time to time, we all say to ourselves, “From here on out, I’m going to make better/smarter/bolder choices.” Usually, we make a mistake and promise ourselves we won’t do it again.
A good percent of the time, we break those promises. We don’t make better choices, we just find a different way to make a wrong choice. And maybe that’s okay, maybe that still get’s us in the right direction or at least closer to it.
The real trigger to knowing you will make better choices is when you want to go back in the past to make them. It is only when you want to make better choices in your past, that your future choices are guaranteed to be better.
The future, that’s the scary part because the choices you want to make, well, you may not have to make them. The future may have something else in store for you.
To make better choices, you have to break the illusion that better choices come from the past or in the future. The only choice that matters right now is the one you’re currently making.
And if you’re choosing to dwell on the past or fear for the future, you’re not making better choices.
