WHAT CHOICES ARE WE MAKING TODAY TO SHAPE OUR TOMORROW?

 What choices are you making today to shape your tomorrow? Every single choice we make will either shape our tomorrow for the good or the not so good. A choice that we make today can effect us for years. Our associations may also shape our tomorrow. The advice we take from these associations may shape our tomorrow. What are we doing on a daily basis to reach our goals. Are we planning our day the night before? Are we planning our month before the month begins? Are we saying our daily prayers kneeling? Are we meditating? Are we exercising? Are we reading personal development? Are we reading our affirmations? Are we being grateful? Are we choosing the right friends?

  There is a story of a young kid I will call him John. He was accepted in a prestigious college in Japan. Very few were accepted. It was an honor of a life time. When he attended the college there was a party that he decided to attend. They were about to step into a circle and smoke some marijana.  One friend tried to get him to join the circle. He said "come on now, we can join the circle and when they pass the joint around we just won't inhale."  John was not interested and decided to leave the party. His friend kind of made fun of him and then joined the circle. As this group of college students circled around and passed the joint, the Japanese police came. The police lined the college students up and smelled their fingers. It did not matter if someone didn't take a puff it only mattered if the police officer smelled the marijana on the fingers. From that, the students with the sent of the marijana were expelled from this prestigious school.

 John- because he choose the right that particular night went on to graduate from this college.

 I love this story. One small choice effected all these students and the conciequence was great.

I know in the past I have made wrong choices personally. It has sometimes taken years to recover. Sure at times there are great lessons to be learned. They may strengthen us at times. With what I know now and understand,  I prefer to strive to make the right choices and stand in holy places.
