The 2 Choices We Get in Life

There are simply two choices in life that every human is faced with at some point in their life. Consciously or subconsciously, our choices define who we are and who we become in the future. You may be wondering, how only two choices? Well, keep reading.

The choices are either to live a life of comfort, doing what you love but never experiencing all the fun things in life. The other choice is living your dream, going after it, and making sacrifices along the way that result in not having as much money or time for yourself. Of course, there are choices between those choices which I will explain later.

“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. The way you dress is really the way you feel, the way you live, what you read, your choices.”

You can’t have a positive life with negative choices.

People generally change their choices when they feel pain, not pleasure. If you want to build your self-esteem and develop the habit of taking risks then do what makes you uncomfortable for 30 days in a row. You might just find that there is more greatness inside of you than you ever dreamed or imagined. That is because there is. We are limitless humans put into a box of limits. But we don’t have to stay in that box, we don’t have to live our lives in that box. We can do, be, and have anything that we imagine in our minds. Yes, it will take work and time, but it is the truth.

The moment you make the choice, the moment you take responsibility for where you are in life, that’s when it all changes for us. We only get two choices in life. Being able to spend our lives doing the things that inspire us, truly inspires us from within, or doing the mundane, average, society accepted way of living? What would you choose?

Continue living the way you are living right now, or change, live better, do more. One of the most important choices you can make for yourself and your life is doing something that matters. That’s where true success comes from — not money but building something around providing value to others, giving them results they want because it helps them have a better life. We all can get exactly what we dream of if we help others get what they want to. The most valuable companies are solving daily needs for people. Think of Apple, Amazon, Google, companies that reshaped the world around us. Heck, you might even be reading this article on an Apple product. Steve Jobs took the risks so you could live a better, more fulfilled life.

Take some time to ponder your choices. Comfort is a hell of a drug. So is success and limitless choices to enjoy life without having to question if you can or can’t afford something.

The choice is always yours to make.
