Decisions. Decisions. Decisions!
"Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to
exchange for it.
Establish your priorities and go to work."
- H.L. Hunt
(1889-1974)
American Businessman
I think that we make more decisions in life than anything else
we do. We get up in the morning and
decide what to wear, what to eat for breakfast and what way to travel to
work. We make decisions all day on what
we will do, how we will act and what we will achieve. So with all this decision making going on, why
is it that so many people have a hard time making the decision of how they will
live their life?
Your
life, your dreams, your achievements are all your decisions. No one can take them from you or make them
for you. This is a great freedom to know
that you can achieve your dreams if you choose to do so. Here are a couple of facts about decision
making: The best decisions are made quickly and changed slowly. Bad decisions are made slowly and changed
quickly. Also, decisions only have to be
made once, from that point on you only manage the decisions you made not
re-make them.
Now,
let's look at four decisions you can make right now that will start you on the
road of achieving your greatest dreams.
Decision #1. Decide what exactly
you want
Many
people have trouble achieving a goal because they do not know exactly what they
want to get. Take the time to think
though just exactly what it is you want to achieve. Write this down! Do not try to keep it in your head. Write it in detail so you can look at it
often and see just what it is you have decided to achieve.
Decision #2. Decide why you want
it
When
many people start to define their dreams, their first question is
"how" do they do it. The more
important question needs to be "why" you want to do it. It is understanding why that give us power
and motivates us to move forward. If you
have a strong enough "why" the "how" will come to you.
Decision #3. Decide what you will
give in exchange for this dream
Nothing
is for free. It will cost you something
to achieve the dreams you desire. It
will take time, hard work, not being able to do some of the things you did
before. Are you willing to make the
sacrifices that your dream will require to achieve it? Decide now if you will pay the price or just don't
bother even trying.
Decision #4. Decide to do it now
Nothing
happens without action. If you have
decided exactly what it is in life you want, know why you want it and are
willing to pay the price for it, go for it.
Here is an important rule to follow: Never go for more than 24 hours
after setting a goal without taking some kind of action. Do something that will start you on the road
to achievement, right now. Of all the
decisions, this is the one most people fail at and why they do not achieve their
goals. Take action right now and keep
taking action till the dream is reality.
