Oh, The Agony of a Marshmallow

Could you do better than these children in NOT giving into temptation?

All that stands between them and success is their thoughts and desire for immediate gratification, specifically the sumptuous morsel of marshmallow.  For the purposes of the video we could pass it off as cute and noddingly smile for a brief break in our day.  However, the sad reality is that many react this way in their private and professional life.  The only difference is that the undoing is not a sugar fill puff, it is more life- altering.  Whether it be misappropriations in your business, choosing work over your child’s soccer game and thereby securing their notion that you care less about them than your work, or the devastation of marital infidelity, our decisions ALWAYS start with a choice.

Today, let me encourage you to make good choices.  Make choices that you will be proud of tomorrow.  Make choices that serve something larger than yourself.   Good, honest, moral choices make for a good life.  And that is worth something not measured by stock portfolios and newspaper clippings.  Fight the good fight today, and make good choices.
