Decisions are the Moments that Shape Your Destiny

Decisions are shaping your destiny every second. They are a cause being set in motion. From the moment you wake until you sleep you are making decisions. Everything that happens in life both the thrilling and the challenging began somewhere with a decision. Anthony Robbins says it best:

'It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped'

How are you shaping your destiny today? What decisions have you made to get you where you are today and what decisions are you making today to give you a better tomorrow?

You may be thinking but I didn't make any decisions to get me to where I am now. I didn't decide this for myself. Not making a decision is a decision. And through that somebody else ends up making the decision for you, so ultimately that comes back to your original decision not to make one,

It is the decisions not the conditions of your life that determine your destiny. What are you deciding to do about your future? What are you deciding to do about the frustrations and tragedies of your past and present? An inspiring speaker, Neal Peterson, who I had the pleasure of hearing speak recently looked at his disadvantages and turned them into advantages. His decision was that just because he was black in apartheid South Africa, poor and disabled didn't mean he could not achieve his dream. He decided these things would not limit him but would in fact be an advantage in his life. What happened as a result? He sailed solo around the world in a rich man's sport in a homemade boat against all odds.

There is a big difference in being interested in something and being committed to it. Statements such as "I'd really like to make more money" or "I'd like to make a difference" or "I'd like to be closer to my kids," or "I'd like to give up smoking" is just stating a preference. These statements are very weak and hold no power. The power comes when you decide to be committed.

For years I stated that I would like to be a vegetarian and nothing happened as there was no commitment there. And then one day for me something triggered and I made a decision. It was "That's it from this day forward I am a vegetarian." There was the decision, the commitment and for 4 years now I have not eaten meat. And it was so easy. I don't miss it a bit and never did from the moment I took the power back and made a committed decision. The power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant.

The word 'decision actually comes for the Latin roots meaning to cut off from' Making a true decision means committing to achieving a result and then cutting yourself off from any other possibility. This kind of clarity gives you such power. You can stop smoking, drinking, overeating, gambling or whatever it is that needs to change in an instant with one simple decision.

Right now you can make a decision. If you truly decide to you can do almost anything. Start by proclaiming 'This is who I am and what my life is all about. Nothing will stop me from achieving my destiny. This is what I am going to do and I won't be denied." That there is a committed decision.
