Abstract

Choice lies at the foundation of anything and anywhere we are today. We make choices all the time, and often do so with insufficient data. It’s often what we do after we made a choice that will decide whether we succeed or not. Making a choice is a courageous step, especially when it pertains to something as rigorous as uprooting yourself from a comfort zone and planting yourself in a new garden. Our mental preparedness to deal with unexpected turns will decide whether we succeed or not. Character is therefore a critical driver in the way we make our choices. Whether we are flexible and willing to change, or stubborn and unwavering, will greatly influence the type of choices we make.
