The
Power of Decision
Do you want to have more power
in your life? I sure do. What am I referring to?
The power that will make you successful and help
you to have more time and energy... The power to
give up a destructive habit in your life or to
pick up good habits in your life.
Do you think that you can make
a decision right now that will cause your present
situation to get worse? I’m sure that we can all
answer that question with a yes!
If that is true, and it is,
then do you think that you can make a decision
right now to make your present situation better?
Again, I’m sure that we can answer that question
with a yes.
So, if that is true, and it
is, then why not think of a decision right now
that will help you out in the long run. What kind
of a decision can you make right now that can
literally change your life?
- Think about just one habit
that you can get rid of that will improve your
life, and concentrate on accomplishing it right
now.
-Set your target date, right
it down, and put it in front of you. Then stick to
your decision until you accomplish it. Sounds easy
doesn’t it? It will require that you be strong,
but guess what. You will gain power from it for
the next change you decide to make.
-If you will do this
methodically and consistently, just imagine the
growth you will realize in a year’s time.
I developed my business-
Freedom Choices Enterprises on the premise that
life is about making the right choices. The proper
way to state this is- Life is about making the
right DECISIONS. You always have a choice between
the right decision, the decision that will take
you closer to your desired outcome, or the wrong
decision that will lead you further away from your
desired outcome. Some choices have short term
effects or consequences and some have long term
effects. Ultimately, though, I believe that most
choices that are before you really have long term
effects when you consider the big picture. - The
concept of sowing and reaping comes to mind.
Are you the kind of person
that really enjoys working out, or exercising in
some fashion? I am. I really enjoy the feeling I
get from working out regularly. When you are
consistent at something, you get better and
stronger at it. I teach my kids this concept with
their sports. My oldest son likes to play baseball
and he understands the value of practicing to get
better at it. The more you do it, the stronger you
get at it. Have you heard that your body cells
total replaces themselves over about a seven year
period? Well, your new cells are at the level of
maturity of the cell that was replaced. This means
that you can constantly grow in your abilities
Your new cells“ remember” the new things you have
learned. Take playing the guitar or something like
that. If you’re practicing regularly, your new
cells are already trained to the level that you’re
at in that moment. Then you continue to learn and
get better, you continue to gain more ability.
Well, this holds true in
making the right decision too. The more you
“exercise” making the right decision when faced
with a choice, the stronger you will become at it.
You are never just “standing still”. You are
either learning and growing stronger by making
more right decisions, or you are growing weaker by
making the wrong decisions.
I like to use the analogy of
gardening. I know some of will smart off and say
to your self, “I don’t grow a garden; I just go
buy my stuff at the store.” Well, that may be
true, but you are planting seeds with your
thoughts, with your words, with your decisions and
with your actions. So stick with me here on the
gardening analogy. When you want a red pepper, you
plant a red pepper seed. You know that, in order
for that seed to grow and flourish, you must
prepare the soil. You have the choice not to, but
your decision will effect what you will ultimately
get for a harvest. You continue to face choices,
for which you must make the right decision to
finally get to the harvest that you want. You must
water the seed, keep the weeds from choking it
out, and keep the bugs from eating it up. So many
choices, so many right decisions must be made to
finally get your desired harvest. Then you must
actually harvest it when it is ripe. Only then
will you enjoy the fruit of your labor. The fruit
that comes from making the correct decisions
through out the whole process.
Everything in life is full of
choices for which you must make the right
decision. How do you want your marriage to look 50
years from now? How must you treat your spouse
today and next week, and through out the year to
accomplish this? How do you want your relationship
with your children to look in 30 years? Again, you
must be making the right decisions now to get your
desired outcome. How much money do you want to
have at retirement? When do you want to retire?
Everything in this life is
about choices, and the decision(s) you make with
those choices. Most decisions have long term
effects and many choices inherently have an
allotted amount of time from sowing the seed to
when you reap the harvest. There are no microwave
solutions. Sowing seeds and reaping the harvest is
always accompanied by the growing period which is
totally effected by he decisions made through out
the whole process.
For great success, you need to
make calculated decisions, based on a plan of
action. Then you must stick to the plan. You must
take action on your plan, or you are making the
wrong decision that will effect the outcome.
My goal with this article is
to help people who are interested in learning, to
take control of the decisions they make and effect
their whole life in a positive way by making the
right decisions. This is the Power of Decision.
The decisions you make really do effect your whole
life, good or bad. You can choose the right
decision, and you can choose the right decision
every single time. Will you?
