"People say I make strange choices, but they're not strange for me. My sickness is that I'm fascinated by human behavior, by what's underneath the surface, by the worlds inside people.”  Johnny Depp

            When it comes right down to it the crushing news for everyone on the planet is that the life they are living right now is due to the choices they have made.  From the mundane, such as what you are wearing right now, to the impactful, such as the decision to eat that espresso brownie every day; all of our decisions are beyond a shadow of a doubt creating mini shifts changing the course of our current path.

            What if one decision could alter your destiny?  What if you woke up tomorrow morning and created a shift in your routine that forever transformed you?  What if the current routine decisions you are making every single day are taking you far away from your dreams?  What if one slight shift in a choice was all it took to positively change your life right now?  The answer is very simple, a slight shift in our usual choice can lead to an extraordinary occurrence and transcendence of destiny.

            One night Donald Trump was invited to go to a very exclusive party.  He was at an extremely low point in his life.  His real estate empire was crumbling, the economy was in chaos and every banker in town was calling in their loans, including Mr. Trump’s.  On this particular night Donald Trump was not in any mood to go to a party however, at the last minute, he decided to attend.  As fate would have it, he was seated beside a banker to whom he owed money and despite Mr. Trump’s desire to turn around he sat down at his designated seat. 

After an evening of connecting from a place of truth and integrity, the banker extended Mr. Trump’s loan.  This one act enabled Donald Trump to work his way out of debt and go on to become a billionaire.  Had Mr. Trump not chosen to attend the party, we might not know him today for his hit show – The Apprentice, or his famous Trump Towers hotels and condominiums.  This one choice provided an opportunity for Mr. Trump to plot a different course.

      For years I have been mentoring and training people in the network marketing industry.  One of the overriding themes of the ongoing lessons is that the people who you are meant to collaborate with are often either the people you know or the people they know.  While you have to make the effort, the truth is that the choice to do something a little bit new or slightly uncomfortable will often assist you in finding your next best leader.

      That is precisely what happened to me several years ago.  I had joined a network marketing company with a passion for co-creating health and financial abundance.  I made a list and immediately felt that discomfort in my stomach as I thought about calling the people whose names I had written down.  I choose to begin making the calls.

      My friend agreed to look at my website.  I did not hear back from her for several days and I choose to call her.  Naturally, back then I was nervous about rejection or judgement so I procrastinated on making the follow-up call.  When I did connect with her she was excited to give the program a try.  Today my friend is a network marketing millionaire and has helped a lot of other people.  If I had not chosen to call her, what would the outcome have been? 

      The choice to take a certain action or to do something in spite of nerves, fear or judgement can ultimately be liberating.  When we make a decision to act in a way that is outside of our comfort zone inevitably we will get a different result.

      I connected with a woman who is reading my Have It All Woman book.  She described to me how she wants to make millions of dollars and eventually climb Mt. Kilamonjaro.  She shared how she wants to get healthy, meet her dream partner and live life on her own terms and yet when I presented her with options she went on to detail all of the television she watched in the past week. 

      This woman shared how she puts her daughter to bed and proceeds to watch at least two hours of television every night.  She asked if I had seen the finale of Lost or watched the Bachelor.  I could so clearly see that this woman’s choices were not in alignment with what she supposedly desired and I felt compassion for her.  The reality is that if she wants to lead a different life then she will have to make some different choices.

      I want you to imagine that the life you dream of is closer than you may actually realize.  In order to attain it you will have to make some different choices.  Some may be as simple as turning off the television and starting a home based business.  Others may require some greater authenticity where you have conversations with people that you wouldn’t normally engage in.  Your choice may involve simply having the courage to connect with someone and share what it is you are so passionate about.  Ultimately we live into our choices and my question for you is this – what will you choose to do today that would not have considered in the past?
