The Breakdown
Hey fam!
DEEP DIVE
Don’t beat yourself up if you’re not making the right choices yet.
Our lives are influenced by the choices we make.
2 years ago, I was at a low point. Whilst I enjoyed my first job, I was in bad physical shape, had low confidence and felt stuck without much direction. It felt like I was going through the motions.
Then, in May 2022, I chose to begin my self-improvement journey. I got my first car, hit the gym consistently and improved my appearance.
You see, in life, choices pave the way in building our daily routines and our life direction. They include the small choices (like choosing what clothes to wear for an event) and the bigger choices (like who to marry).
Each day, we make thousands of small choices (many of which we don’t think about) that make up our daily lives. It’s about making the right choices consistently.
Perfection is not the aim, consistency is.
To see massive growth in your life, become used to choosing what you fear (doing, asking or saying something new).
For example, if you’re scared of asking for a raise, make a choice to ask for one. If you do your research, ask with confidence and are willing to negotiate, you never know what will happen.
*Disclaimer: never act on an important choice without a plan otherwise you’ll struggle.
But if you don’t ask, you’ll never know and you’ll keep fearing the worst.
It’s the hard choices that are often what we need to do.
If you feel stuck, tired and confused, start with making small choices to move out of your comfort zone.
Another example, instead of scrolling on your phone when you wake up, choose to open the windows and get fresh air.
Once you make the choice, plan out how you’ll execute it.
