HOW TO HAVE A GREAT DAY..... part 1

Life is a product of choice. I mean the way we live our lives. In fact, the impact every single encounter with certain circumstances, whether favourable or not, have on us, strictly depends on our overall reactions to such circumstances. Indeed, nothing happens to us without our awareness or permission. This permission may be willing or unwilling; but we permit all things to go the way they are going, all the same. Now, lets consider how to have a great day.

1. PLAN YOUR DAY
Without concrete plans, you are bound to have unfulfilled day. Bouts of mix-ups, blunders here and there. But a great and deliberate plan of how your day should go, will guide you into doing only the things that are worthwhile and devoid of regrets.

2. FOLLOW YOUR PLAN
It is one thing to plan, but another to follow it through. Discipline is necessary to actualize any set goals. An amount of assertiveness is also required. Learn to stick to your plans, no matter what comes up later. However, this demands that you take out quality time in planning each of your days.

3. LEARN TO THINK BEFORE YOU ACT
4. APPRECIATE PEOPLE WHO HELP YOU
5. FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTH
6. FOCUS ON PEOPLE'S STRENGTH
7. ATTEMPT TO LEARN NEW THINGS OR DO NEW THINGS
8. AVOID COMPLAINS
9. REWARD YOURSELF FOR YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS
10. EXPECT THE BEST ALWAYS

HOW TO MAKE RIGHT CHOICES



YOU CAN LEARN...
                              
                             TO MAKE RIGHT...
                                          
                                                   CHOICES ALL THE TIME...

Life is a function of choice. No man is strong enough to avoid the necessity of making choices at one point or the other. However, one of the greatest challenges of man has been, making the right choices. This can be addressed proficiently, by putting certain steps into consideration before ever making preference.

Whether good or bad, the choices of yesterday are responsible for where we are now; and where we shall be found tomorrow depends on the choices we make now. MOVEMENT, NUTRITION and REPRODUCTION are voluntary exercises. But a critical consideration of the involuntary features of MAN for instance, reveals that there is a great influence on it from the voluntary features. All the voluntary features are hinged on CHOICE. You can choose to either move or not, eat or not, drink or not, reproduce or not etcetera; and even the involuntary actions involve voluntary responses. For example, when there is an urge to empty one’s bowel, there is usually a need for MOVEMENT to the lavatory, in every healthy and normal person (except in the case of immobility or incapacitation or chronic diseased condition). Thus, everything around man depends on the choice he makes; even inaction is a choice in itself. CHOICE IS THEREFORE A CHARACTERISTIC OF LIVING THINGS.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHOICE AND DECISION
There is no identifiable difference between choice and decision, except that one seems to prelude the other most often than not. Decision always precedes choice making. In fact, choice is a product of decision; you talk about choice after a decision has been reached. Sometimes, they are correctly used interchangeably.

STEPS TOWARD MAKING RIGHT CHOICES
1.      Think before you act
2.      Defined your purpose
3.      Consider the alternatives available
4.      Compare the advantages over the disadvantages
5.      Consider the aftermath of the action

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT
Quality decision leads to quality choices. Quality decision is however, founded on critical thinking. Learn to think far as quickly as possible before you react to an action or respond to a question. Thinking will help you choose your words (right words) and eventually win more respect from your hearers. The first step before embarking on any adventure no matter how glamorous is to think about it. Never you act by your feelings but listen to your thoughts.

DEFINED YOUR PURPOSE
You will take the wrong decision, make the wrong choice and do the wrong thing, if you do not define your purpose. For everything under the heavens is a purpose. Without the understanding of the purpose of what you desire to accomplish, then abuse becomes inevitable. Always find out the purpose for all things, it will guide you into making the very right choice about such things. Questions like: why am I here? Why should I speak these words? Why should I be there? Why should I eat now? Why should I buy this item now? Do I need it? Will I regret it later? ... will help you know the purpose of a thing and thus make a right choice about it.

CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE
Find out the alternative way of doing the task, or find out the alternative word to use in expressing yourself say in an angry situation, find out the alternative products of the brand you desire, find out the alternative treatment to your ailment, before settling for any. You never can tell; the best can be found among the alternatives. The wider the range from which you make a choice, the better it is. Do not restrict yourself to what is usual, find out new possibilities before ever taking a decision.

COMPARE THE ADVANTAGES OVER THE DISADVANTAGES
From your list of alternatives, compare their merits over their demerits each, and then go for the one that is more advantageous. Remember that your desire is to make a right choice for a maximum result.

CONSIDER THE AFTERMATH OF THE ACTION
For every decision you make, give cognizance to the after effects. Most people are just concerned about now, neglecting the future to the detriment of their joy. The future is more important than now. Make sure that your choices have no dangerous effects on your tomorrow. No matter how good a thing sounds for the moment, if it is injurious to the future, then discard it. A right decision or choice should have a fair impact on both the immediate and the future.

CONCLUSION
To live on, on the earth calls for constant choice making or decision taking; but it is very important that the right decisions are made. Only a right decision can produce a right result. To accomplish this, five steps have been addressed, to include: thinking, definition of purpose, paying attention to available alternatives, placing the merits and demerits on a balance, and being futuristic, that is learning the principle of the use of the periscope.

POWER OF CHOICE



CHOICE is POWER, use it appropriately...

Every now and then man is faced with the need to choose an object from a set of entities. Sometimes in man in life, a man may be able to abscond himself from performing his obligatory duties, but never to escape the challenge of choice making. The choice a man makes is what rules him; it is as powerful as that. In this article, my focus is ensuring that at every point in time, we are empowered enough to make the right choices.

Beginning from what we wear, what we eat, what we discard, where we go, what we see or hear, what we do, what we accept, where we work and where we live, we are never without alternatives actually. Whatever we have is the product of our choices. Interestingly enough, the greater the number of available options, the more challenging it is to conclude on our choices. While the fewer they are, the easier the choosing process. However, the former presents a higher chance of making a quality choice.
Therefore, no man is left in a situation where he cannot make a choice; in fact getting into such a situation (if at all possible) is a consequence of a previous choice. 

Friend, I will like us to place great values on this gift of the right to make a choice, because whatever we get from or give to life is in direct proportionality to the choices we made. Life we never give to a man what he has not chosen. Even God himself respects man’s WILL and CHOICE. From the bible book of creation (Genesis), we saw that the Omnipresent and Omniscient God did nothing to stop Adam and Eve from disobeying Him, because He had earlier given them FREE WILL. This same picture was showcased in Joshua 24:15, where it was handed down to man openly, the right to choose either life or death and blessing or curse.

It is important to elucidate the truth that life is not just all about the breath, but everything else that makes it worth living. In other words, the availability or deficiency of the resources or factors for making life beautiful and enjoyable depends on the choice we make. In like manner, death goes beyond non existence of the physical body or lost of breath. A man is not only dead when he ceases to breath, but when he becomes a liability to his family, when he loses his right to take decisions, when he simply exists rather than making an impact and when he is characterized by redundancy, then he is indeed dead. A slave is not better than a dead man except that he has a hope of freedom someday. A living man is he that still reserves the right and power to make his choices without unsolicited interferences.

Moreover, your choice is so powerful that it can tell our fulfilling your will become or how disdaining you will turn out to be. Your future is dependent on the superiority of choices you make today. If you desire to make your life count or to make it valuable, priceless, inestimable and worthwhile, then learn to make the right choices. THE BEAUTY OF LIFE LIES IN CHOICE MAKING. Every decision you make in life has the potential power to transform you for the better or transfigure you into obscurity. Your life is as good as the decisions or the choices you make. SHALOM!
