Decide to succeed. Decide to thrive. Decide to achieve. Decide to enjoy and explore the experience.
Decide that nothing will hold you back. Not childhood shaming, not impostor syndrome that keeps you doubting, not the words of others, not your fears - nothing.
Deciding in small ways is a powerful technique. Every decision is a little switching point, like a split in a train track leading to one destination or another. Every small decision changes the course of your life.
Every small course change leads to larger changes. Begin to use those smallest decision points to change the way you think. To change the way you act. To change what you decide to be or do or have. To change what you think you can be, do, or have.
Does it seem odd to feel that success is a decision, and a small one at that? Yet, it is. It is not in the grand gestures that success is framed, but rather, in all the repeated, very small choices you make throughout the day on what you believe about yourself and your abilities.
"Decision-making is power. You hold the power in your mind, heart, and thoughts to decide, to choose, and to change." Click to tweet.
The well-known quote attributed to Henry Ford states, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right." So decide that you can.
Can what? Well, whatever you wish to achieve. That you CAN... publish that book, achieve that promotion, secure a better and more fulfilling job, take better care of yourself, find more work-life balance, go to that professional conference you've always dreamed of. The possibilities are endless. But only when you decide to do it.
Decision-making is power. You hold the power in your mind, heart, and thoughts to decide, to choose, and to change. It is the power to create what you wish in life. Or, the power to not-decide, to let other things seem to take all that creation away from you.
A small decision can turn your life around. And then another, and another. Give it a try!
Lead yourself well, and the rest falls into place.
Best,
