Every choice alters your path—sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. Your dreams don't just come in a neat package handed to you with a pretty little bow. They arrive through the twists and turns of decisions you make, overlaid with new beginnings and old endings. And in those moments, your dream resurfaces, asking, Is now the moment?
Is success just by chance? Or by choice?
You can't control everything life throws at you. But what you can control is how you show up, how you feel in your days, and how you respond to each challenge or opportunity. That's not just by chance. That's by choice.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose wisely!Your choices create your daily journey. And that journey can be one with joy, even when hard choices need to be made. Or it can become a time of fear where no choices are made.
Regardless of where you are, choose wisely!
3 Ways to Choose Wisely While Going After What Your Heart Desires
-
Slow Down to Reflect Before You React When an opportunity knocks or a problem arises, your gut might urge you to leap or shut down. Instead, build the habit of pausing. For example, say you're offered a new project that promises growth but demands a huge time commitment. Don't say "yes" immediately. Take a moment to reflect on how it aligns with your bigger goals. Does it move you closer to your dream? Or just distract you? This pause creates space to choose with intention, not impulse.
-
Set Boundaries That Protect Your Priorities Your dream isn't going to live in the nooks and crannies of your day. It needs space—mental and physical. Consider a single parent working a full-time job who dreams of launching a business or going back to school. Saying "no" to extra shifts or social invitations lets her guard that sacred time to write and plan. Protect your time like currency. What you say "no" to determines what you say "yes" to.
-
Seek Out Mentors or Trusted Voices Choosing wisely doesn't mean going it alone. For instance, an aspiring artist might struggle between accepting commercial gigs fast or waiting for gallery representation. A mentor who has navigated that path can offer clarity grounded in experience. Mentors challenge your blind spots and inspire courageous, informed decisions. Don't just listen to anyone—choose who reflects the kind of success you want.
Nothing ever unfolds solely by chance. It's a carefully choreographed dance of "YESes" and "NOs," clear intentions, and unexpected lessons that guide you toward the lane that only you can walk—one divinely designed to fit your unique purpose.
Don't sell yourself short by waiting for luck to strike or for opportunity to "just happen." Be diligent and determined. Prepare yourself for the turns ahead, ready to face them with the understanding that your life is shaped not just by chance—but by choice.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
