“Nothing happens until you decide. Make a decision and watch your life move forward.” – Oprah
“Life is too short,” You have heard these words many times before, what do they really mean to you? To me, they mean don’t put off what you can do today for tomorrow. When you take a lot of time making a correct decision, remember that even a correct decision becomes wrong when it is taken too late.
Never let indecision dominate your life. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. Indecision means the door is still closed. Indecision means the opportunity still waits. Indecision means what could be is postponed and may never be. Those are all the penalties of indecision. It leads to regret. Yes, you can’t always make a snap judgement, you can’t always decide immediately but after a while you must understand a final decision has to be taken otherwise you will suffer from arrested development and miss out on life’s great possibilities.
Your future promise and life’s desires are all dependent on your today’s decision. This may be the decision you postponed and postponed and now you understand the penalty of postponing that decision. You’ve got to do something and finally you come to the conclusion, today is the day, I now decide. Deciding can be such an incredibly important, very exciting and inspirational day and can be a day that starts the process of lifting up your self-esteem. Making a final decision is getting the monkey off your back. Getting the monkey of your back is simply doing away with that thing that has delayed your progress, happiness, peace of mind, promotion at work, more business, growth and success in your life. You are the only person who knows what is holding you back.
Unhappiness is simply the lack of progress toward a desired goal. If you are not making progress that’s when unhappiness sets in. Happiness, on the other hand, begins when you are making a progressive progress, you don’t have to arrive all at once. As long as progress is part of your experience, you will feel happy. So, my friend, what is that irritating monkey on your back that you are busy feeding and is becoming heavier and heavier by the day? The moment you get it off, you’ll immediately feel light and doors of happiness and peace of mind will be wide opened for you.
You have greatness within you and the world has long been waiting for you to shine your light, take it out and shine it!
