The Power Of Decision

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by beccoming more. In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. The key and most important question, then, is this: What precedes all of our actions? What determines what actions we take, and therefore, who we become, and what our ultimate destination is in life? What is the father of action?

The answer, of course, is what I have been mentioning all along The Power of Decision. Everything that happens in your life....both what you are thrilled with and what you are challenged by...began with a decision. I strongly believe that it's in your moments of decision that our destiny is shaped. The decisions that you are making right now, every day, will shape how you feel today as well as who you are going to become in the future.

More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny. You and I both know that there are people who were born with advantages. Yet you and I also know that we constantly meet, read, and hear about people who against all odds have exploded beyond the limitations of their conditions by making new decisions about what to do with their lives. They have become examples of the unlimited power of the human spirit.

If we decide to, you and I can make our lives one of these inspiring examples. How? Simply by making good decisions about how we are going to live in the future.
