Choices according to Howie Mandel

America's Got Talent final
Darcy saved her best performance for last.

 

Last night i watched the recorded final episode of America’s Got Talent, since the final results show would be live in a couple hours.

Note: i did not stay awake to watch the results and still don’t know who won the one-million-dollar prize.

I contend that life is about choices. – Howie Mandel

Upon hearing him say that, i paused the recording and wrote down what he said.

Why?

It was a choice i decided to make.

Like a hundred other choices we make each day.

What we choose shapes our destiny.

Where we end up is the sum of a lifetime of choices

Where we end up is the sum of a lifetime of choices

We move slowly (daily) toward the person we become as we age.

Every day we make choices and these decisions offer one of two things:

  1. A chance to get better
  2. A chance to avoid getting better

An over-abundance of choices in one of these two categories and our life is transformed in a manner in which we have sown.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Retooling work life balance

Image of open mind
Yesterday’s mail. What about retooling our thinking?

 

What about retooling the way we think about work life balance?

Or have we convinced ourselves it’s impossible?

i was so close to giving up on it in the 1990’s.

Does that seem like the type of example we should be setting for younger generations?

Can you sell yourself on the better of two decent choices?

My office some mornings, like yesterday, for example.

 

Can you sell yourself on the better of two decent choices?

Much of life, whether we like it or not, comes down to choices.

There are two kinds of choices.

  1. The ones we make for ourselves.
  2. The ones others make for us.

Every morning for the past seven-plus years i have had the choice to spend two hours writing five blog posts. i’ve said yes 2,657 consecutive days.

And yesterday morning during a business call, i discovered that i have no choice in whether or not a client picks me over another business advisor.

So now a new opportunity. How to convince the CEO that hiring a team of people has limitations that hiring a single expert doesn’t have.

i love this.

i think about all the choices that are easy to make

i think about all the choices that are easy to make.

What we watch and listen to, and who we hang out with  – what drives our choices?

The art of living vibrantly is in discovering, and then mastering, the will to make the tough choices.
