Choices

Recently I was reminded of just how much life is full of choices. Each day is full of choices. We wake up each day with a full set of choices available to us. We can choose to make it a good day or a bad day. Granted things happen throughout the day that can affect us, but we can choose to react in a good way or a bad way.

In the trucking world, life is full of even more choices. Do we choose to take route A with more miles but less weather, or route B and face the weather just so we can go less miles? Do we choose to fuel in one state where the pump price is less, or in another where we pay more at the pump but the fuel tax is higher reducing our IFTA costs? Do we choose to shut down in bad weather or when we are sick, or do we push through risking it all?

Personally, do we choose to drink the water we should or reach for the next sugary drink? Do we choose to exercise, or is the bed too comfortable? Do we choose to eat out or cook at home? 

Each choice we make can effect several different items throughout our lives. Choosing to eat out can effect our budget and our overall health. While we don't earn when the wheels aren't turnng, choosing to sit it out may be the best for everyone involved.

Everyday we need to remember our goals, decide if what we are doing will achieve those goals, and choose our next move wisely. God has given each of us today. Remember to thank him for it and choose those things that will move you in the direction you want to go.
