The path you take is more important than the decisions you make.

Every day is a step on the path that we take into the future. I’m not saying this philosophically, but practically. Every day, every decision, every choice adds to our individual experience. The people that we interact influence who we are.

The path that we walk is a better indicator of who we will each become than any given decision will be. The path is defined as the way we make decisions and generally choose to act. Any given decision may be influenced by any number of factors, but our path is the single biggest influence on most decisions.

Any given decision may be right, wrong, off base, off topic, ignored, irrelevant, and/or significant. However, each of those decisions influences the decisions that come after. If the path we walk is focused on “trust”, then most decisions will reflect that. If we walk a path of “caring for others”, then that should be reflected in our decisions.

Decisions are simply the precursor to action. It isn’t a simple expression of words, it the actions we actually take. When words and actions don’t align, trust actions.

All of this said another way, Actions make the Person.
