The quality of your life's experiences amounts to the sum of all the decisions you have ever made.
The power to make decisions is what gives you freedom. The more freedom you
have, the more options you can entertain.
The more options you have available, the more opportunities you can create
for yourself and others.
Have you ever been told what to believe? Have you ever had someone tell you
what you should do, how you should feel, or behave? Why would you have someone
else decide for you in your life? What is the cost of living that way? Life is
short, and time is your most valuable resource. Letting anyone else decide for
you is a waste of time! No one else knows you as well as you do. You are the
expert of your own life.
Think of yourself as the majority shareholder in your life. What are some of
the strategic decisions that will help you grow and flourish moving forward?
What will you vote "yes" for in your life? What will you vote
"no" on? Recognizing that you have a choice does not mean that there
will never be any uncomfortable consequences. But not making a decision is also
a decision that could have consequences that are just as negative.
Peter Drucker once said that whenever you see a successful business, someone
once made a courageous decision! In what department of your life's organization
- relationships, money, health, fun, recreation, personal growth - do you
currently experience the most challenge? Where do you feel trapped?
Whatever you believe is missing, it is yours, waiting to be claimed. The
first step is to make a conscious decision about the things you would like to
have more of and the things you will need to let go of.
Some people get trapped in inaction. They have a hard time saying yes,
because that would mean that they have to close off other possibilities. In
economics, this is referred to as the 'opportunity cost'. The same principle is
true in life. Saying yes to one thing often means saying no to many other
possibilities.
Don't just dwell in possibility. Dwell in reality! Choose, decide, and take
action.
