A Life About Choice
One of the best quotes that you could embody and accept as truth is this one –
“My life is all about choice.”
Why is that so critical? How could something so simplistic be so imperative to creating wealth? Let’s explore that now…
Why Choice Matters
There are many obvious reasons why having choices and options is important. When you have choice you can choose what you want to pursue, what interests or direction of wealth creation you’d most like to explore. But there is an even more fundamental reason why choice matters, and that comes down to the power within you.
Choice Is Power
Having choice, having the ability to choose for yourself, is equal to having power. When you have choice you are not some impotent being who is living life at the mercy of others; you are an omnipotent being who has the power to decide the course of your life.
This freedom of choice is powerful for the small decisions, but it is very powerful in larger matters, too—exponentially more so, all things being equal. But let’s take a look at one of the most basic realizations you need to come to in terms of choice; one that will reveal a whole new world of financial possibility.
The Power To Control Your Money
We’ve talked and alluded to this in other posts. One of the most powerful tools you have is the power to control your money. Now, a lot of people will say that this is a power that they do not have—that their creditors, bankers, and bill collectors decide where their money goes. But that is not true. You make the decisions regarding how to manage those bills and demands. You decide to relinquish your power to the money managers.
This does not mean that you do not meet your obligations, but rather that you find new ways to do that—ways that prioritize your choices and your money. It is a very empowering thing to realize that you do, in fact, have money and have choices and options with it. When you realize that you are really in the seat of control, suddenly all the doors to investment and building wealth swing open to you.
