Decisions

A previous post discussed the importance of wise decisions; however, today, I would like to briefly discuss the simplistic (but, often overlooked) fact that we make decisions nearly every second of the day.

When your alarm clock woke you up this morning, did you decide to get out of bed or hit the snooze button?
When you opened your closet, did you decide to wear the red shirt or the blue one?
When you looked in the mirror, did you decide to iron that shirt?
When you were running out the door, did you decide to grab a breakfast bar, or purchase something at work?
When you saw that light turn from green to yellow, did you decide to stop or speed up?
When you saw the speed limit sign, did you decide you were running late so the sign didn’t matter?
When you saw the police car on the side of the road, did you decide to slow down?
When you got a break at work, did you decide to call your spouse and say “I love you”?

We may never be able to count the number of decisions we make in a given day, but one thing is certain- “The decisions we make directly impact us and those around us.” Whether we realize it or not, we show the world what is valuable to us by the decisions we make, and we determine the destination of our lives by what we decide is important.
