Al Ikhtiar Lak | John C. Maxwell

Life is a matter of choices. What will you do for your career? Who will you marry? Where will you live? How much education will you get? What do you want to do with your day? But another choice is far more important than that: who will you become? The only real freedom each of us has in life is the freedom to choose. But once we choose, we become servants of our choices. Author and professor CS Lewis observed, “Every time you choose, the main part of you, the part that you choose, turns into something a little different than it was before. Looking at your life as a whole, with all your countless choices, you are slowly turning this main thing in you into a heavenly creature or a hellish creature.” No one wants to take the road that leads down. We all aspire to become something more, something bigger. The secret of the upward path lies in the individual choices we make. This book provides inspiration and guidance in sixteen key areas that can help you become the person you want to be. Every day you will be faced with choices in one, or more, of these important areas. The decisions you make in those moments may seem small at the time. But when you add them together, you make the trajectory of your life. You can take the main road, the sometimes hard road that always goes up, the road that makes you a man, or a woman, the destiny you wish to be. Or go the easy way. You always have to make up your mind. Never forget: the choice is yours!
