Make a True Decision

You can never achieve what you want to achieve in life until you have made a True Decision!!!

You see it’s our decisions that determine what actions we take and in the long run who we become. Everything that occurs in our lives, the good and the not so good, all began with a decision, even when we have not made a decision by doing nothing we have made a decision. So your decision not to call a potential employer about a job you are well qualified for and you find yourself still unemployed has determined where you are now in your working life. So your decisions shape your destiny. By making decisions today about how we’re going to live our lives tomorrow and into the future, we can make our lives into what we want it to be.

Now we can make all the decisions we want but if we are not committed to achieving it, then certainly we can’t expect anything to happen can we. Of course not, for your decision would have been mere wishes about things you are just interested in or prefer, hence no conviction, no power.

We should therefore make a True Decision i.e. making a decision and committing yourself to achieving the desired outcome no matter what. Friends, when you Truly Decide to say lose weight, then that’s it, you will no longer indulge in activities that contradict that decision. It’s a done deal! You cut yourself off from any other possibility, no compromises. You just Do It!

Now when making a True Decision you cannot say to yourself and the world “I would like to lose some weight” no, no, no there is no power in that! What you must say is “I am going to lose 10lbs in twenty-one days!” That’s a true decision.
One of the main problems we all have is that we all are afraid of making the wrong decisions. Well guess what, no matter what you do you are going to make wrong decisions in your life. Yes, you will mess up! For sure I have and many times too. No one ever makes all the right decisions so don’t you expect to. The key is to be flexible and look at the resulting consequences, learn from them and use what you have learnt to make better decisions.

So how can we make True Decisions? Here are seven keys that can help you:
• Remember True Decisions set you on the path to achieving your goal.
• Be committed- without it your decision are just wishes
• Take action- once a decision has been make immediately do something towards your goal being realized.
• Make decision often- the more decision you make the better you will become at making them.
• Be flexible if things are not working out don’t be afraid to consider and look at other alternatives. Just don’t get stuck on one route.
• Don’t wait on every bit of information. Too much info can be harmful
• Learn from each decision- when you don’t make the right decision don’t pout or beat yourself up. Find out what you can learn from it.

Try these consistently over the next month or so and see what happens.

Good Luck!!
