“You are the sum total of all your choices up until this moment.” -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
The choices we make, both good and bad, shape who we are and affect our feelings of confidence and self worth. We need to make wise, careful choices in life. More importantly, if we like who we are today, there’s no need to stress out over bad choices in the past. It is OK to acknowledge the past, but don’t let it define you. In addition, don’t let others with low self-esteems try to bring you down by bringing up your past. Remember, it’s called “SELF-esteem”. Don’t allow anyone to affect the way you feel about you! God is the author of the only dictionary that defines you. Spend time with Him. Listen to Him and what He says to you, about you.
*Look back over you life and at some of the bigger choices you’ve made. Where did they lead? Did they lead to joy? Maybe the benefit wasn’t felt until 3 or 4 “steps” down the road.
*When you see how bad decisions caused bad reactions, remember to keep that in mind going forward. When you’re faced with a decision, try to plan a few steps ahead and envision where it will lead you.
