Power Play: Choices show who we truly are

Life is full of choices. Every day, every single one of us has to make a bunch of them. Power Players know that if they really want to look behind the curtain and see what somebody is made of, they need look no further than the choices they have made.

We can all talk a good game when it comes to our lives and how smart and together we are but the truth lies in the moves we have already made. If we meet somebody who has made a string of really bad choices and seems to keep making the same mistakes over and over again, maybe we need to ignore their talk and keep a close eye on their walk.

Yes we are all human and yes we have all made monumental, pride-swallowing mistakes: the type that we stew over for weeks and have nightmares about for months. But most of us learn from them and know not to make them again.

Then there are the people who make the same mistakes again and again and again. They always try to explain them away but Power Players know better.

Take a lesson from a Power Player. To see someone’s character, look to his or her choices. This will tell you almost everything you need to know.
