ordinary moments / small choices > big decisions In most ordinary moments the situation thinks for us. We don’t realize it at the time because these moments seem so insignificant. What a lot of people miss is that ordinary moments determine your *position*, and your position determines your *options*. Clear thinking is the key to proper positioning, which is what allows you to master your circumstances rather than be mastered by them. Wherever we are now is a reflection of our past choices and behaviors that got us here.
