The Power of Decision: Your Fundamentals in Life Come Down to the Choices You Make Every Day

Welcome to the When Dreams & Action Collide podcast! We’re in the middle of a powerful series on Finishing the Year Strong. While most people tend to slide through the last few months of the year, waiting for January to set resolutions, I’m here to challenge you—right now is the perfect time to focus on your goals, especially when it comes to strengthening the fundamentals in your life.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most important aspects of building a solid foundation: decisions. Every day, we are faced with countless choices, both big and small. What you will do and what you won’t do. Whether you realize it or not, your fundamentals in life come down to these decisions. They shape your routines, your character, and ultimately, your future.

Most of us naturally gravitate toward the path of least resistance—the easy way. And this is where we tend to get stuck. Why do we take the easy route? Because it’s human nature! But if you’re going to finish strong and set yourself up for success in the new year, it’s time to bust out of that cycle. There is power in the small decisions you make every day.

We’ll explore how making intentional, consistent choices builds long-term habits that truly make a difference. For example, do you choose to eat what’s good for your body, or give in to sugary, unhealthy foods? Do you decide to scroll on your phone, or pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read? It’s these small, daily decisions that add up and form the foundation of your life.

We’ll also talk about how every decision presents an opportunity for growth or staying where you are. Whether it’s choosing comfort or challenge, moving forward or staying stuck, the key is learning to make decisions that align with your long-term goals. And don’t worry, I’ll give you practical tips to shift your mindset and approach decision-making with more intention.

Finally, we’ll cover the idea that just because you made one decision yesterday doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it forever. You can change your course at any time. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent and learning to make better decisions, especially when it comes to the fundamentals in your life—your spiritual growth, mindset, and physical well-being.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of how to make smarter choices, no matter how small, and you’ll feel more empowered to finish the year on a strong note. So, let’s stop taking the easy way out and start making decisions that will benefit your future self.

Remember, it’s not just about the big decisions—it’s the little things that matter most.
