Owning Your Choices and Your Rewards

I posted this somewhere else, but I thought maybe it would be of value here as a broad topic:

We make a choice every day (hour? minute?) Either 1) PMO or 2) Do something else.

1) PMO always feels easier than doing something else because the reward is instant for PMO. It also feels great, but then after 10 seconds you feel like crap.

2) Doing something else might be something that, at first glance, doesn't give you any pay off. It might be hard and boring work. But there is a reward buried there too.. you just can't see it at first. The reward is that we didn't choose to PMO. And that reward doesn't last 10 seconds or make you feel like crap afterword. And you know what else? You get to milk the victory from that reward for as long as you want.

Making a choice for you and instead of PMO is the new gratification. Own your choices and you own your success.
