One of the most exciting things about our path is that we can choose to change it at any given moment. It only takes one proper decision.
There’s an adult student in the martial arts school I teach at, for example, who just a few months ago was only that—a martial arts student.
Today, I just had a conversation with an associate of mine about potentially hiring this student to become an employee.
What caused this drastic shift in their (and our) path?
…A decision this student made to become a leader.
…Followed by another decision to come in early and stay late.
…Followed by another decision to ask to help other martial arts classes.
…Followed by another decision to ask for a job.
…Followed by another decision to earn it.
If it were up to our comfort zone, we would keep running back the same type of day over and over again. We would do the least we needed to do, we would settle for less, and we would rush to get it all done as fast as possible so we could get back to doing more settling and less.
But, if we can keep our highest version in mind… and we can channel the type of thinking that that version of ourself would hold… we can deliberately choose to take a different path… and step into our higher power instead.
