Fall In Love With Your Choices
Take on your choices with conviction and commitment. Once you do, your life will never be the same.
By Real Estate Coach and Speaker Darryl Davis, CSP
There’s something about the start of fall that makes us pause. The air turns crisp, the leaves begin to change, and suddenly the world feels like it’s shifting gears. September has always been a month of transition—kids head back to school, schedules get more structured, and we naturally start reflecting on the choices we’ve made and the ones still ahead.
For me, even as the seasons turn, I’m reminded of one of my longtime inspirations: Walt Disney. On my desk, I’ve got a little bronze statue of Walt holding Mickey’s hand. And whenever I glance at it, I find myself wondering—did Walt ever second-guess his choices? Why a mouse, of all things? Did he worry people might think it was a silly or unpopular idea?
The Big Question
We all do it, don’t we? We wrestle with choices big and small, especially in business. I know I do. But here’s what I’ve learned from Walt: questioning is natural, but once you decide—commit fully. Walt didn’t waffle once Mickey was born. He poured his energy, creativity, and love into that choice and made it iconic.
The Fall Lesson
That’s a powerful reminder for all of us this season. Just like the trees don’t fight the changing leaves, success comes from leaning into your decisions and owning them. Too often we hem and haw, wondering if we picked the right marketing strategy, the right dialogue, or the right next step in our business. But the truth is, it’s less about the “perfect” choice and more about the conviction with which you carry it forward.
When you commit—truly commit—your business, your life, and yes, even your harvest of success, starts to grow.

The Takeaway
This season, fall in love with your choices. Stop second-guessing. Lean in. Commit. Whether it’s how you prospect, how you serve your clients, or how you show up for yourself, give it your all. That’s how you reap the rewards.
So as the leaves turn and change settles in, remember: success doesn’t come from waiting for the perfect conditions. It comes from believing in the choices you’ve already made, standing by them, and moving forward with purpose.
Ready? Let’s turn this season into one of conviction, commitment, and growth—together.
