Tiny Decisions Add Up!

We all try to make good decisions, especially when the decisions are big ones. The problem is that most of us don't pay enough attention to the tiny ones!

Every day we make at least a thousand tiny decisions. Whether we realize it or not, those decisions add up to define who we are. I believe that if you can make more good decisions than bad for any extended period, then you will see big positive changes in your life.

Here are some tips on becoming a better decision maker:

1. Start each day with 20 minutes (or more) of quiet time. Get alone with God and ask Him for direction.
2. Ask yourself who you want to be as a person, mom, dad, husband, wife, boss, employee, friend, professional. Start making decisions that back up who you want to be.
2. Listen to your conscience; it will keep you on track if you allow it to.
3. Make a list of non-negotiables (things you do each day without exception!)
4. Keep a mental tally of your good vs. bad decisions and make sure the good side is always winning!

Remember, at any given moment you can start fresh and decide to start making better decisions!

Today is your day to become the person you want to be!
