The most important skill we can develop is the capacity to make good choices.

The choices we make about food and exercise influence our physical health. The choices we make about how to respond to life’s adversities affect our success and psychological wellbeing. And the choices we make about self-improvement direct the very course of our lives.

One of the best ways I’ve found to make better choices is to remember the impact my present actions will have on my future selves. It also helps to keep in mind that, although I may not enjoy doing what’s best for me, I won’t regret it.

Digging deeper, I realized that awareness of your ability to choose is paramount. You have to remember that you always have the power to choose. This prevents you from being a passive victim of whatever happens to you.
