October 5, 2025- Forge a new path

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

~James Clear

Practice makes permanent. Our choices are built on top of other choices. The ones we’ve already made become easier to repeat. They become a path through the woods in which the brush has already been trampled down. With each pass, that path becomes more well-worn, and easier to walk down again.

This does not put the weight of the world on every choice. We have the power to change. If we try a new path once, we know we have the strength and courage to try another one. We just need to be willing to pause and reflect on whether or not that path served us. We must consider whether or not our actions are aligning with our intentions. Is our current path bringing us closer to our dreams? If it isn’t, we must have the resilience to forge a new path and the discipline to choose that one over and over..

Tomorrow will be formed by today’s choices. What do you want to be tomorrow? Do you want to be stuck where you are or do you want to grow into a better version of you? The answer will not be found in your thoughts, but in your actions. We are our choices.
