"We choose, and in doing
so, we design our lives." "Learn to master the moment of
decision and you will live a life uncommon." from The
Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion & Purpose
by Matthew Kelly
Good morning! Don't you think the Nike(R) slogan
is catchy? "Just Do It!" I wonder how successful it
would have been if they would have tried... "Just think
about it," or "Just wallow in indecision." It doesn't
have a real ring to it, does it? But that is what many
of us do. Instead of "deciding" we "debate." Instead of
moving forward, we tread water. Instead of making "it
happen," we weigh what might happen. In these moments of
indecision, life continues on without us.
These quotes by Matthew really bring us back to that
fundamental point: "Learn to master the moment of
decision and you will live a life uncommon." Uncommon,
because so few people actually decide anything. Instead
we dabble and debate and discuss. Where are you in your
2010 goals? Are you dabbling and debating? Or did you
make a decision and move forward. If you have, you have
seen change. If you haven't, you're likely looking at
the same old scenery. But each day brings many decisions
and each decision you make creates power and momentum.
As a business owner, I make many decisions both large
and small each day. They aren't always right. But I
would rather make a wrong decision than no decision at
all. I would rather gain information and learn what
doesn't work so I can pursue what does work versus sit
and wallow in indecision. For each time we make a
decision, even if it is the wrong one, we are getting
closer to making the right decision.
Your Turn:
Today, don't put any decisions on the back burner or in
the "debate and dabble" column. Trust yourself and make
a decision while the situation is in front of you. Feel
the action and empowerment that comes with
decision-making.
Your Affirmation:
I make decisions with confidence and optimism.
