Morning Motivator - Hybrid Theory

"I don't care what you put in my way, I'm not giving up!"
- Matt Damon as David Norris

If you have not seen, The Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon, I highly recommend a viewing. The idea is interesting, with overtones of guardian angels and the debate between free will or pre destination.

Without giving the film away, the core issue relates to our ability to make choices and determine our own success path. Some people believe that we make our own path, choosing our outcomes, deciding our own limits. Others believe that you are placed into a position in the world and that your path was selected long before you came about.

What do you believe? Me, I believe that we are predestined to meet with opportunities. Day in and day out, we are given multiple chances to accept or deny a route. It is our awareness of these opportunities and then our subsequent choices that determine our success. Lets call it a "hybrid theory."

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP: If you believe that everything is set forth for you, then why try? You have no choice over your successes or failures. You have not ability to better or worsen your situation. Everything that happens - good or bad - was meant to be. Game over.

However, if you believe you have choices and can influence your end game, then you have a motivation to do more, try harder and continually seek opportunities to improve. You, while possibly not in total control, are able to affect the outcomes of your decisions.

Do you believe hard work can create better results? Do you believe that education increases success rates? Do you have faith that if you do the right things, good things will happen to you?

If not, good luck. If so, stay focused. Everyday may not be an epic victory, yet, if you are able to choose your actions, you will have additional opportunities to be successful...right?

Cheers,

Zach
