Show Me Your Character, and I'll Show You Your Future
Apr 17, 2025Who decides?
Your coach?
Your boss?
The GM?
The board?
The transfer portal?
Feels like they do.
They hold the pen.
Call the shots.
Dictate the path.
But they don’t.
The trajectory of your life has less to do with your circumstances—and everything to do with your character.
You’ve met someone like this.
Someone who, no matter the situation—bad boss, market crash, unfair treatment—you just knew they were going to make it.
What do they have?
Unshakable belief?
Remarkable skill?
More talent?
Maybe.
But more likely?
They’ve just decided.
To decide means to cut off.
To say no to every other path.
No more waffling. No more blame.
They’re not trying to just do it.
No. They’re doing only it.
There is nothing else. No other focus or concern.
That’s focus. Not just discipline—elimination.
No distractions. No detours.
Just the thing they said yes to.
The boss might stall it.
The board might block it.
The market might laugh.
Doesn’t matter.
Because once you’ve decided,
It’s no longer if.
It’s only when.
So…
Have you decided?
