Have You Made Your Choice?

by Latif Thomas

You see the difference between success and failure, in anything, comes down to one simple word.

Choice.

You have the ability to *choose* the way your life is going to be.

Your situation right now is the sum of the *choices* you have made in the present moment.

And the choices you continue to make in the present moment will dictate your level of success.

Because nothing exists but THIS moment. There is no later. No future. No ‘when the economy gets better’. No ‘when I have more free time’. No ‘if I had better talent.’ No ‘if I had a bigger team’. No ‘if I was smarter’.

Success is a *choice*.

The only difference between you and the people you want to be like is simple:

They’re not afraid to die on a treadmill.

Why not?

Because they made a *choice*. They decided who they wanted to be. What they wanted their life to be like and they made a *choice* to do it.

They didn’t make the choice in some undefined ‘later’. Or ‘tomorrow‘. Those things don’t exist.

They never will. They will never arrive. Ever.

Living life is all about choices. We decide whether we succeed or fail in life. It's completely our repsonsibility.
