Actions, Behaviors, Choices, Decisions &
Evaluations (ABCDE)
We spend too much time running around like headless chickens, that we lose time to focus on the priorities. Analyze,
evaluate, Act-figure out the difference between the urgent vs the important, the now versus the later, the today versus the
tomorrow, the day to day nitty gritty stuff versus the strategic, big picture stuff.
Trade-offs are necessary at every facet of life-at every juncture, we will be faced with two forks in the road; which path
will you take-the more trodden, popular and easy one or the one least trodden, unpopular, seemingly unknown and scary
one?If you do what everyone else does, you will get what everyone else does and you will be average. There is nothing
wrong with average, if you want average. It's what you want that matters not what I want or what your family/friends want
or your ecosystem wants/desires.
If you want to be different, you have to do different-if you want more, you have to first deserve more; would you have bet
on yourself, when you were in high school with all the other kids; if you could at that time, get 10% of everything (not
just money& wealth, but happiness, joy, contentment, health, friends, love and quality relationships) of one kid that you
choose, for the rest of that kid’s life and yours, who would you have picked? Would you have picked yourself? Fast
forward, 30 years to today-who would you pick now? Would the 2 choices be different? Do you think differently, do
differently and act differently, now versus before: today versus yesterday-and how about tomorrow?
