That is how many decisions each of us makes in a day. Think about that…35,000 decisions. Most of those decisions are of little long-term import.
Everything from hitting the snooze button in the early
morning to getting in bed at a certain time. From what you will eat to what you
will say to what you will wear. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Some of those decisions have much more importance. The
trick is to recognize which ones are which. Some of them are obvious…quit your
job? Leave your lover? Move to a new city. Big and obviously important
decisions.
But some small decisions have an enormous impact. You
took a different route to work this morning and avoided being involved in a life-threatening
accident. You went to a different coffee shop this morning and met the love of
your life. Small decisions with big impacts.
Now let us extrapolate all those decisions over your
whole life and all your ancestors’ lives. It is mind-boggling when we realize
how many decisions got made over how many lifetimes for you and me to be
sitting here at this very moment.
Let’s decide, right now, to spend a moment in
gratitude for all those decisions that have come before this. Gratitude for those
daily 35,000 decisions that have created the world we live in right now.
