On average, an adult makes 35,000 different decisions per day. Most of these decisions are subconscious or intuitive. But the reality is that most decisions we make are not a big deal and won’t impact our lives. They are insignificant to the greater picture. But these six, in my opinion, are the ones that will truly change who you are fundamentally.
These specific choices WILL change your life
- The choice of who to love. The decision to love yourself sounds basic and simple but many of us do self-destructive things. You should not allow people to take advantage of you, allow your body to go to sh!t, spend so much time on social media surfing, and more. You need to make decisions that take care of yourself and make yourself a priority. Who you allow into your life and surround yourself with is also very powerful. It will indicate where you go in life. Don’t choose to love somebody that doesn’t deserve you or marry somebody you shouldn’t. Do not allow others to treat you poorly. We choose how we let people treat us. If we’re choosing to allow them to walk all over us, we’re allowing them to pull us down.
- The choice of who you spend your life with. Would you rather be single and happy or with somebody & miserable? Life is a lot harder and more challenging when you’re with the wrong person. But if you’re with somebody who truly gets, supports, and loves you, you can build a life with this person. This doesn’t mean the road is simple or easy. You will have issues to work through. The choice to have children will also significantly and immeasurably impact your life. Make sure you have protected sex until you’re ready to have kids. Having children will change the rest of your life; then, you must choose to be the best father you can be. It doesn’t matter what your father was like. You can change someone’s life, which will change your world.
- The choice to work through your sh!t. If you’re having a difficult time dealing with baggage from your past, failures, and other crap that is preventing you from being free, you need to sit down on that baggage. Therapy is an amazing tool. Happiness is a choice, and you can make that choice to choose happiness. You deserve to be happy.

- The choice of what to do for a living. What you want for your job is a big choice. Realize that this is not locked down. It can change. You need to find happiness and fulfillment in a career and make changes the sooner that you can. It’s critical that you find something you love doing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be easy. Don’t work just for a paycheck or because it’s expected of you. Do not live for somebody else. Choose a job that’s inspiring or makes you excited. Life is too short to hate what you’re doing for all the hours that you put in at work.
- The choice to be healthy. You need to take care of your body, which is one of the most important things you’ll ever choose to do. What you feed your brain is equally important. From information education to media to news to social media, it can either make you a sheep or make you more intelligent and well-rounded. Don’t be a sheep. Follow your own direction. Look at life through a critical lens. Be analytical and decipher what you believe.
- The choice of what kind of man you want to be. This choice will impact who you date, how you allow people to treat you, how you treat others, and more. Do you choose to be a man of integrity and good character? Are you a man who is honorable and noble? Do you do what is right instead of what is easy? Do you treat people well?
