There’s so much power in pre-deciding.Before the moment shows up… you’ve already decided who you’re going to be in it.
Examples:
- You’ve already decided you’re not snapping back when someone speaks to you sideways—you respond, you don’t react.
- You’ve already decided you’re working out at 6am—so when the alarm hits, there’s no debate.
- You’ve already decided you’re not entertaining distractions during your work block—phone stays down, focus stays up.
- You’ve already decided your standards—so opportunities don’t tempt you out of alignment.
That’s power. That’s discipline. That’s leadership.
But here’s the balance…
Knowing when not to pre-decide is just as powerful.
Because if you pre-decide everything, you can lock yourself into habits that don’t serve you.
Like knowing you’re about to stop at Buc-ee’s… and already accepting you’re walking out with snacks you didn’t plan for 🤦🏾♂️😂
