Making Decisions

Think Before You Act

     Every day we are faced with tons of decisions, whether we realize it or not. These decisions come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be small decisions and huge decisions, but no matter how big or little the decisions are, every choice we make ends up affecting our future. As humans, we have the power to make our own decisions. Therefore, we have the power to choose how we want our future to turn out. 
     Especially in high school, in can be difficult to always make the right choices, and it is a part of our nature to not always make the perfect decisions, so don't become discouraged if you mess up. Use your mistakes to learn what not to do in the future. Again, you have the power to make your future a bright one.
     How can you become more likely to make the right decisions for your life? Stand for something. If you stand for something, you will be tested in it. Stick to what you believe in, no matter what. Even if your friends try to get you to do something you don't want to do, always remember what your morals and values are. They might even rub off on your friends. However, if they don't, just know that you should be satisfied with yourself for standing for something. Being passionate about something positive in your life can do great things for you and take you far. Stick to how you truly feel. Just be nice to people, don't drink or do drugs, don't skip school, don't exert violence and hatred... Be positive and encouraging towards yourself and others around you.
     Before every decision, think about the consequences you will receive in the future. If you stop and take a minute to think before every action, I guarantee you that you will see a positive change in your daily life. It's not hard. Just think before you act. 
Tell yourself every day: "I will make the right choices, because every little thing I do today will affect my future in some way.
