174: Decisions Determine Destiny
In my Inner Circle Mastermind, we are currently studying The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. The second chapter is very relatable to things we’ve been discussing on this podcast for a long time.
“Decisions Determine Destiny” Thomas S. Monson
The Compound Effect
Chapter 2: Choices
· The life we end up with is simply an accumulation of all the choices we make
· Everything in your life exists because you first made a choice about something
· Choices are at the root of every one of your results. Each choice starts a behavior that over time becomes a habit.
· Every decision, no matter how slight, alters the trajectory of your life
· [Elephants Don’t Bite] It’s the little things in life that will bite you (mosquito)
· For most of us, it’s the frequent, small, and seemingly inconsequential choices that are of grave concern… the decisions you think don’t make any difference at all… It’s the little things that inevitably and predictably derail your success
· [Owning 100%] You alone are responsible for what you do, don’t do, or how you respond to what’s done to you.
· The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful people are not
· To get results, you have to take action
· It’s not the big things that add up in the end; it’s the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary
· The key is to start NOW!
· Your life is the product of your moment-to-moment choices – which means you have incredible power to change your life by changing those choices. Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits, where practice makes them permanent.
· Losing is a habit, so is winning… Now let’s work on permanently instilling winning habits into your life.
