What You Do Next is a Choice

What You Do Next is a Choice

“A friend of mine has a great attitude: when something

doesn’t go his way,  instead of crying over spilt milk,

he just milks another cow.”

Alexander Lockhart, Author      

As I see it. . . . . . . .

What you do next is a choice

There are times in your life that you spill the milk or in other words thing just flat out don’t work out the way you have planned for them to.

Spilling the milk can represent many things . . . . an end to a relationship . . . . a lost business opportunity . . . . a lost sale . . . . a missed promotion . . . . and the list goes on.

Spilling the milk isn’t the end of the world. You have reached a point where something has not worked and you are experiencing a temporary delay on your success journey. 

Once the milk has been spilled out . . . . it represents the end of stage on your success journey. The opportunity the milk represented fades away . . . . and is no longer available to you.

What happens next becomes the choice and becomes a key element of success journey . . . . and the direction that your success journey takes.

You can sit there and try to live in the past.

If you do you will live a life of regret of what was . . . . or what was lost. The result of living past is living in an ocean of spilt milk and eventually the spilt milk of regret will pull us under and drain the life out of you and your future.

The future is yet to be and you have it within your capacity to shape your future. You have to be willing to let go of your past spilt milk and find the milk of your future and create your future and destiny.

It’s only when we make the choice to move on . . . . do you find the milk of your future and the benefits that your futures holds for you.

After a setback what you do next is a choice . . . . and determines the direction that your success journey.
