Many people think that talent determines the quality of your life. A better voice, more likes, YouTube sensation, going viral, landing a water bottle flip… all these talents will get you fame and fortune. While it’s tempting to believe that talent will lead to a better life, it doesn’t.
It’s a false narrative that many fall victim to. Except for you, gentle reader.
You see, the quality of your life doesn’t flow from sensational ability. Quality of life flows from the quality of your choices. Which choices?
Big ones.
Small ones.
Long term choices.
Short term choices.
Yearly choices.
Daily choices.
Momentary choices.
Every choice impacts the quality of your life, for the good and for the bad.
Make good choices? Have a good quality of life.
Make a bad choice? Have a bad quality of life.
Ability is not a factor in making choices. You can say no to sugar or sleeping in. That choice isn’t limited to the super able. You can say yes to reading a book and turning off the TV. Those choices aren’t kept by only by the most talented.
In the end, every decision comes down to willingness. Not ability.
You can make good choices, but first, you must be willing.
