It All Can Change In A Moment

One of the biggest stressors and complaints about life is the uncertainty of it. The human mind has evolved to view uncertainty as a threat and something to be avoided. But the truth of it is, life wouldn’t be as fun or interesting if everything was known and predetermined. It’s the novelty of our experience that gives life so much meaning. And importantly, on the other side of uncertainty is the ability to create. Our choices and actions shape our future, and our story is yet to be written. 

Our life trajectory becomes determined by two things: What we create and what’s created around us.

Many of us sit in the passenger seat and let society and other people set the direction. This is a life by default. But all of us are capable of taking the wheel and controlling our destiny. This is a life by design. And living a life by design has some serious implications. It means that what we do today matters, and in extreme cases, that what happens in a moment can forever alter the course of your life.

This becomes more obvious on the negative side of life change. One moment of being unfaithful to a spouse, stealing from a store, screaming at your boss, or getting too drunk at a party can permanently shift your life trajectory. Certain things can happen that cause life to never be the same, and in some cases, the wrong action can ruin your life. 

But on the positive side, it’s equally possible to positively shift the course of your life in a moment. People can make a phone call to get help about a substance abuse issue. People can put in their 2 week notice and officially begin being in business for themselves. People can apologize for a wrongdoing and start to rebuild a relationship. 

My friend Timmy Bishop has an expression that goes “Today could be the day! For what? You get to find out, that’s the best part!” I love it! Every day is a fresh opportunity to create more of what we want out of life. It’s just up to us to summon the courage to pursue it. 

Life is uncertain, but it’s also dynamic. It all can change in a moment. And when you realize how you can guide the direction of that change, you tap into your unlimited potential. That’s living by your design. And that’s what I want for you. Of course everyone is different, but If you want that for yourself, then description I’ll show you how I make the most out of life and it'll give you a great place to start!
