Make The Decision

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” – Anthony Robbins

The decisions you make today will shape your future tomorrow. “Ten years from now” will one day surly arrive, and it is the decisions you are making today (combined with definitive action) which will determine Where, Who and What your life will represent at that point in time. The decisions you are making right now, are shaping not only how you feel today – but who you are going to be in the days and years to come.

“Man is not the creature of circumstances; circumstances are the creatures of men.” – Benjamin Disraeli

Right now you can make a decision to: go back to school, learn how to ballroom dance, save more of your income, learn how to fly a plane, learn a new language, take your children out for lunch once a week,… If you would just decide – you can start steering your life in a new direction to accomplish almost anything.

Becoming a “decision maker” will bring both clarity and relief to your life. Clarity as you decide what your life will focus on; relief as you feel you are no longer in limbo – that your life is now moving forward.

There are 3 decisions you can make every day to control your destiny:
1) Decisions regarding what you will focus on.
2) Decisions regarding what values and priorities will guide you.
3) Decisions regarding what you will do right now to start creating the results you desire.

Remember, you can raise the quality of your life by a conscious decision – followed trough with action. And the power of making decisions rests with you – whether you are a common laborer or a king. Start making decisions TODAY. Decide NOW.

** Continue making these types of decisions OFTEN. Remembering that it is your decisions, not your conditions, which determine your destiny.

** What decision can you make right now?
