Make A Decision, Now!

Have you ever pondered over an important decision for hours, not getting to sleep the whole night, only to wake up the next day with a hangover but still not knowing what to do? So, what will you finally do? Will you ask your parents for advice? Or maybe your friends? What if they tell you your idea is absolutely B.S.? Or will you go for one of the options, constantly thinking that the other ones would have been great, too.

Well, you are not alone. But life is about deciding. Life is about making decisions constantly and then sticking to them. If you don’t stick to your decisions, you give away your energy. Not being sure about something means your energy is divided between all the possible options, and you will pursue none of them very well.

A good friend of mine, who is a very successful person, once told me: “If my parents taught me anything, then the concept of making decisions. I’ve learned to make decisions myself and stick to them. I was allowed to do whatever I wanted to do, but I had to decide myself. This has made me successful in the long run.”

If you want to be successful in life, you must make your own decisions. Making decisions yourself means also living in your own reality. How many times people tend to influence us and force their opinion on us? When I ask my parents about a current project I plan, I’m almost certain they’ll find 10 reasons why this can’t work out. But it can’t work out in THEIR reality, not mine. They don’t see the full picture, but I do. The only person able to make a real decision is me.

So are you a decider or a follower? Do you let yourself suck into the reality of other people or do you live in your own reality?
