Old or young, life is truly just a game of inches. The margin is so small indeed. Don't get me wrong...there are times when you can make some really stupid decisions that can derail you instantly.
Trust me. I know.
However, the lives we live are ultimately a composite of our daily decisions: in life, in business, in love, in friendship, in everything we do. Every decision we make is either a slight edge decision or a slight error in judgment. They add up, and where we are today is a merely the composite.
However, the beauty of being human is that we can choose to make better decisions. All I, you, we have to do is commit to becoming better. The results may not manifest immediately, but know this. You must first commit. Commit to making more slight edge decisions rather than errors in judgment. Get better at making better decisions.
Commit. Commit!
Until I, we, you look up one day, and fully enjoy lives of satisfaction. Getting up in the morning is not enough. Breathing is not enough. You have to be willing to commit. Choose to live. Really live. It requires enough action. Otherwise, you're simply choosing a slow death. And who wants that.
Choose sastisfaction.
