Brian Tracy talks about our EVE Ratio (Entertainment Versus Education) & its totally skewed towards absorbing other people enjoying what we would like to be able to do (& should) rather than getting out & doing it ourselves! Arn't TV & TV Dinners just about the greatest curse in our 21st century culture? Very interesting perspective Donald.

Personally, I believe God has a plan A for each of us, but we have the free will whether or not to follow it. In that sense, yes, our decision will determine whether we live the best fate for our life or not. Thanks for sharing. Interesting thoughts, Johan.

Leaner. Lighter. Healthier. Excited. Happy. Fulfilled. Content." I believe fate and free will aren't each other's opposites - that you can choose the best fate for your life that you can imagine. Sounds delusional? Optimization also strikes a very harmonious chord in me and I really liked the description of being a global competitor in personal development in the information age.

I agree with you, it's all about our decisions day by day. The problem is how we can make the correct decisions at every point. Thanks for the comment, Craig.

As an Exercise Scientist and Trainer I have spent much of the last twenty-five years helping people change their body. Smaller, bigger, lighter, leaner, more muscle, more flexibility, speed, power... Athletes, non-athletes, kids, mums, dads.....whatever they were after; that's what I did my best to deliver. "I believe peoples lives are a disaster largely because of the decisions they have and haven't made, and the things they have and haven't done." It's about choices. Simple. "If you decide to do different, think different, react different, eat different, live different and communicate different.... you'll be different." Better. Leaner. Lighter. Healthier. Excited. Happy. Fulfilled. Content. "But creating your best life has nothing to do with destiny... and everythig to do with decisions." People sprinkle conversations with terms like destiny, fate, chance and luck, so they don't actually have to take responsiblity for their reality. Historically, now or in the future. If destiny is some pre-ordained series of events, circumstances, situations and experiences which are to 'happen to us' over the course of our lifetime, then we don't actually have to do anything.... because whatever will be, will be. Keep up the great writing Donald! Craig Harper john@craigharper.com.au http://www.craigharper.com.au Great Post Donald!

“I believe peoples lives are a disaster largely because of the decisions they have and haven’t made, and the things they have and haven’t done.”

It’s about choices.
Simple.

“If you decide to do different, think different, react different, eat different, live different and communicate different…. you’ll be different.”

Better.
Leaner.
Lighter.
Healthier.
Excited.
Happy.
Fulfilled.
Content.
