The Power of a Decision.
By Dennis Fisher.

This first step on your road to success is to make a decision. A decision is a product of the mind that initiates a course of action. You have to make a definite, serious, specific, decision. You have to decide what is your personal goal. What do you aim to achieve?

For example, let us presume that your objective happens to be a common goal of a great many people. You want to become enormously rich. Once again I wish to re-iterate that it is completely unnecessary for you to spend time thinking about why you want to become rich, or what motivates you to become rich.

The simple fact is that you have decided you have a burning desire to become rich. Why is not important. It is a decision you have made. You now want to know how this can be achieved.

Once you have taken the critical step of having made a definite decision, a remarkable sequence of events will take place.

The thought processes of your mind will trigger off a series of energy waves that lead to dynamic physical action. You will become goal-oriented, focussed and directed. The more intensely you focus on the goal you have set yourself as the result of your decision, the greater will be the energy waves you will be able to generate

The importance of making a decision cannot be over-emphasised. Only when a definite, positive decision is made will it initiate an appropriate course of action.

Try this little experiment now.

Try a simple experiment to prove the validity of this concept.

Exercise.

Make a relatively unimportant decision immediately. Make a definite decision, for example, on your form of entertainment this week-end. Once you have made this decision you will find that the planning process will immediately trigger off a series of positive acts.

It might involve telephoning friends inviting them to join you. It could require steps to be taken to purchase tickets for the entertainment you have planned; there may be a need to make arrangements to engage a baby-sister for the evening. It probably involves the choice of clothes to wear for the occasion.

Your decision, even if it is relatively unimportant, will immediately involve a degree of planning. Once the definite decision has been made, you will be required to take immediate action. Even when a minor decision is made you will become goal-oriented and directed.

When the decision you have made is an important one that could affect your entire life, the amount of mental and physical energy you will be able to generate as you proceed with the planning process will be immense.

Your decision, even if it is relatively unimportant, will immediately involve a degree of planning. Once the definite decision has been made, you will be required to take immediate action. Even when a minor decision is made you will become goal-oriented and directed.

Every worthwhile discovery and invention that has affected the lives living standards of millions of people all over the world, has come about as a result of decisions that have been made; decisions that originated in the mind of man.nnn A brief extract from a book written by Dennis Fisher entitledn “The complete guide to Creative Thinking”.

He has devoted myself to the study of all aspects of creative power and the power of the human mind.

Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
