Becoming aware of his own character defects led Benjamin Franklin to something quite remarkable.

Franklin noticed that he often had difficulty getting along with people. He tended to argue too much. He had trouble making and keeping friends. So he made a choice. He chose to examine his own personality and make a list of what he considered undesirable traits. (It's not known if other people helped him make this list.)

On New Year's Day, Franklin created a list of 13 character flaws he wanted to change, and decided to focus on improving one per week. Once he'd made his way through them all, he started over at the top of the list. He did this for an entire year.

Benjamin Franklin developed one of the finest, most respected and influential personalities in America. People looked up to him and admired him. When the colonies needed help from France, they sent Franklin. The French liked him and gave him what he wanted.

Suppose Franklin had chosen to go through life without using his greatest power -- his power to choose. Suppose he reasoned that there was really nothing he could do about his faults. Suppose he'd used the rationalization "well that's me, that's just how I am," and expected the rest of the world to accept and adapt to his shortcomings rather than choosing to work on improving them? Would France have supported the colonies? The history of the world may have been significantly different.

One good wish changes nothing. But one good decision can change everything. Your power to choose, to make good decisions, spells the difference between wishing and making those wishes come true. Do you need to exercise your greatest power? Your power to choose can be neglected. It can be avoided. It can be ignored. But if used, it can make all the difference.
Use your greatest power and, whether or not you change history, you will certainly change your future.

on point.
