Decision Conquers Fear

Indecision is the seedling of fear! Indecision crystallizes into doubt, the two blend and become fear!” ~ Napoleon Hill

Indecision breeds doubt which forms the basis for your fears. If you are not definite about your purpose, your passion and your dreams, then doubt will creep in and escalate into full blown fear.

Ask yourself the BE/DO/HAVE Questions:

*Who are you?”
*What are you here to do?”
“What do you truly desire?”

Allow these questions to marinate in your head until they reach your heart and then out comes your answers.

Don’t allow indecision to move into the fears and doubts that keep you from living the life you truly desire.

Just for today, conquer the devil called indecision and escape its evil cousin – fear!

Vitamin D is for Decisive

But the cure for most obstacles is, Be decisive.” ~ George Weinberg

Sometimes it is difficult to make a decision. But not making a decision is also a decision. When you do not make a deliberate decision, then life throws you whatever it wants. Once again, you end up in victim mode.

Just for today, be decisive!

Decide Where You Are Going

"All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord." ~ Earl Nightingale

One of the things that stop us dead in our tracks is fear. Now, fear comes as a precaution to keep you safe and comfortable. When you are planning something completely out of your comfort zone, then fear will rise up to protect you. This is normal. But what you want to then do is take the leap and do the uncomfortable. If you allow your fears to paralyze you, then fear has conquered you instead of you conquering your fear.

One of the reasons fear creeps up is because we do not take the time to decide what it is we truly want to be, and to do, and to have. As the late Earl Nightingale says all we need to do is to know where we are going. Once we have the map, then the directions will become clear.

STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK:
What do I want to be and to do and to have?

Once you receive the answers, then make the decision to take the actions necessary to make it a reality. Don’t worry about how it’s going to happen, or how you are going to pay for it, or how it will all work out. The “how” is none of your business. Once you make the decision, the how will be taken care of.

Just for today, decide to face your fear and live your true life.

Friday’s Purposeful Question

“Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"It is only possible to live happily ever after on a daily basis." ~ Margaret Bonanno

"The pleasure which we most rarely experience gives us greatest delight." ~ Epictetus

"I wake up every morning with a great desire to live joyfully." ~ Anna Howard Shaw

“Are you living a happy life?” Why or why not?

If you are not, all you need to do is make the decision that you want to live a happy life – then go live it!

Have a fantastically happy weekend!

Friday's Purposeful Question

“…Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

“What decision is your life waiting for you to make?”

“You can tell a woman is clever by her answers. You can tell she is wise by her questions.”

The Power of Decision

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide." ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

From Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: a decision is a determination arrived at after consideration.

We have been given the incredible power to choose, to make a decision. The main reason we are living lives that are not satisfactory, is because we have not decided what kind of lives we desire.

Don't focus on "how" is this going to happen. Just do your part: make the decision. Once you make the decision as to what you want to be, do and have, the "how" will show up. Like Emerson said, once you make the decision, the universe will conspire to make it happen.

"A decision is what a man makes when he can't find anybody to serve on a committee." ~ Fletcher Knebel

Set Your Mind

"The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it." ~ Mack R. Douglas

Nothing in your life will change until you decide to make the change. Wanting and hoping will only get you more wanting and hoping. You have to make the choice and decide that your life can and will be different. Once you make the decision, the universe will open up to you all you need to fulfill your desire.

"You can have anything you want – if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, have anything you desire, accomplish anything you set out to accomplish – if you will hold to that desire with singleness of purpose." ~ Robert Collier

Set your mind to choose success!
