What You Do Today Determines Who You Will Be

You are the most powerful person in your world today. What you do today determines who you will be. Your choices today have a massive impact on your future. Your thoughts, words, and actions create your life’s path.

What You Do Today Determines Who You Will Be

You already know that the best predictor of future events is what happened in the past. What happened today has the greatest, most relevant impact on what lies ahead because it could shift the entire future. Gandhi said, “The future depends on what you do today.”

What You Think, Say, and Do

Your thoughts are so powerful; they are what you spend most of your waking hours doing, and their effect on your life is immeasurable. Largely, the world influences what you spend your waking hours thinking about.

Change Your Thinking

Consider this: If you could change what you think about, you could improve your life.

The most impactful action you can take is to start at the biological root of your life’s energy systems. The more attention you pay to your thoughts, the more you can take action to immediately (or as soon as possible) choose a new thought, replacing a negative thought with something very positive.

Change Your Words

Your words are an expression of your thoughts that run so deep. Your thoughts are based on impulses you are exposed to every moment of every day and are hugely influenced by every moment you have lived to now.

The words you speak are very powerful, and your voice box is the doorway to your heart. A negative thought greatly influences your biology and your life, but speaking of the negativity opens the pathway to your heart, which can affect your entire being and the life surrounding you.

Making a conscious effort to guard your words and consciously deciding what words you will speak will change your life accordingly. Talk about the good things you want in life, and do not dwell (overthink) about the negative things in life, those things over which you have no control.

Change What You Do

When you take any action on something you think about or based on some influential ideology, whatever you do takes time. Time is a good measurement of all things. Suppose you are doing anything that does not align with your desired future. In that case, you will be miles ahead in having the life you want by finding ways to spend less time doing the things that do not serve the future you would like to see for yourself (possibly eliminating them if you can) and doing more of the things (ideally only the things) that will direct your path to live a better life, your best life, and make the world a better place.

Today, what you think, what you say, what you do, determines who you are tomorrow.The good news is that today is a new day.

How You Do It

It’s not only about what you do but also how you do a thing. T. Harv Eker has coined the phrase, “How you do anything is how you do everything.”

As you become aware of what you think, say, and do, you might learn how you do things. Indeed, there are things that you do in your life that you could do better. If you work for a company or any organization, management is looking at what you are doing and how you are doing it. Skilled managers look at how the staff handles various tasks and always look for ways to increase performance.

You might want to consider applying this strategy to your life as well. Look at how you are doing things in your life.

Review

Before you turn in at night or throughout the day, evaluate what you do from an external perspective and ask yourself, “Could I have done that better?” Then ask yourself, “How could I do that better the next time?” Allow for the possibility of not doing anything.

If some action is not serving your higher purpose in life yet must be done, think about delegating the task to someone else to whom it is better suited, outsourcing it, or eliminating it if possible, replacing it with a task that will draw you closer to your desired life, thereby maximizing your potential.

Your Choices = Your Future

Those things that you choose to think, say, and do today

Dr. Tim Madding says,

Tim Madding

It’s known as the principle of the path. The path you take today will lead you to a destination later. You should never be surprised where you end up since it is based on a series of decisions made.

“Why am I in so much debt?”

Because you purchased stuff you have chosen that you could not afford.

“Why is my marriage so horrible?”

Because you chose to marry someone you didn’t know and chose not to develop relationship goals to overcome differences.

“Why am I getting divorced?”

Because you chose to flirt with that woman at the office, then go out of your way to see her, then started hanging out and then started sleeping together.
