On Our Choices| Martin Meadow

The theme of the second day of the 365 days of self-discipline is the power and impact of our choices. Martin Meadow reiterates the danger of always picking the easy way (sleeping in vs waking up early, giving up after a few failures, etc).

He argues, rightly so, that this can quickly become a habit, and the danger is that the consequences last for a long time.

Each time you’re faced with a decision between exerting self-discipline and taking  it  easy,  remind  yourself  that  the  choice  you’re  making  today  doesn’t affect  the  present  moment  alone.  A  momentary  decision  can  (and  often  will)reverberate for many years or even decades into the future. — Martin Meadow

My favorite quote of the day: It only takes a moment to make the wrong choice and jeopardize our future.
