. Choices -- Choices -- Choices All day long every day, each one of us is constantly making choices -- choices that create our personal lives. It's literally impossible not to make choices. We create our lives by these these seemingly insignificant choices. Most of us make these choices by accident, by default, mechanically (without conscious thought), or we let others make our choices for us. Which Choice is the Right Choice? Choices always have consequences, sometime trivial, sometimes profound. For example, choosing between wearing blue or black socks usually has little significance or consequences. However, many decisions that seem small and trivial, can and, all to often, do have a significant impact on the person making that decision. For example, how many times have you been driving down the street, and, as you approached an intersection, the traffic light turned from green to yellow. What did you do? Did you stop? Did you speed up and continue through the intersection? That instant decision changed the time at which you reached every other point in your journey. It also changed the traffic you encountered on the remainder of your journey. Decisions as simple as that, although seeming trivial, could be, and at times have been, a pivotal point in drastically changing the rest of a person's life. We commonly make these types of decisions daily, usually blindly and, occasionally, with arrogant impunity. Unknown Consequences: In the traffic-light example, if you passed the intersection safely,you have no way of knowing whether or not your decision altered your life in any significant way. Other decisions are not so unknown. For example, if you chose to study the personal-transformation pages on our websites, that choice could alter your life dramatically. Here's another example: Your decision to support or to participate in our work could impact the world in ways that none of us can even imagine at this time. Deciding by Default: You should also be aware that choosing not to make a decision is, itself, a decision. It's deciding to let someone else make your decision for you. It's similar to how a computer works. It has default setting so if you don't choose the computer chooses for you. Decisions made by default have consequences equal to decisions made consciously and intentionally. A decision's consequences are in the choice itself, not in how or by whom the choice was made. Still Another Choice: So, here you are now, about to make a decision that, regardless of how simple it may seem in this moment, is about to affect your life beyond your wildest imagination:
