Decisions Over Sacrifice

Make Decisions about your health, your life, your futures.
For two main reasons decisions are the bedrock to our success.

1. Will Power.

Will Power is a tricky thing. When we are rested and not stressed will power seems like a good way to deal with life.

And the thing is we manage our ‘plan’ by dealing with what life throws at us one decision at a time.

In many cases each day we freshly make the same decisions over and over again.

What to eat, what to wear, where to go. Whether to walk or train.
The thing is each time a little bit of will power is used if you try and make good decisions each time.

My suggestion is that you batch make decisions and stick to those decisions for a set amount of time.
Make the decision once for that period of time and you don’t have to waste will power every time you do that activity.
This develops into your Standards.

2. Make a Decision rather than a Sacrifice?

Sacrifices sound grand and purposeful, but they are hard to live with. They suggest you are giving something up or going without.

Sacrifice sounds hard and noble. But sacrifice can also be a drain on the limited will power you have.
It can be a negative approach to living the life you deserve.

Making a decision is decisive.

Not permanent, but a choice that stands up to distraction from the world.

Will power is finite, don’t waste it on random choices all the time.

Make decisions about how you live your life and you will reduce the number of decisions you have to make.

Will Power is Finite.

Make fewer Decisions!
