There’s
a single mental move that turns the Dark to Light! It is DECISION POWER!
ACCURATE
survey of over 5000 men and women who experienced failure, disclosed the fact
that LACK OF DECISION was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of
FAILURE. This is no mere statement of a theory – it is a fact.
PROCASTINATION,
the opposite of DECISION, is a common enemy which practically every man must
conquer.
The
world’s most successful people share a common quality. They make decisions and
rarely if ever change their minds. Yes decision makers go to the top and those who
do not make decisions seem to go nowhere. Think about it…
Fame
and Fortune Stand there waiting.
They
will never fade away. There both yours for the asking, but there’s a price you
need to pay…
And
what is the price you need to pay?
It’s
Persistence yes Persistence that shovels up the gold. Its Persistence, yes
Persistence that brings fame and fortune to hold… Persistence DOES build
resilience. If you truly wish to Become A Magnet To Money you must be
resilient.
Persistence
combined with the power of Decision is like carbon is to steel.
Once
these two subjects are truly understood your life will change so rapidly and
with such passion that all your actions will seem as if Grace was involved
every step of the way. Grace will be your experience, for when we are focused
and go for it in life no matter what the present circumstances, things will shift
and everything we require in life to have our goals and lifelong wishes show
up!
So,
let’s start with DECISION because none of the success and money we desire is
magnetized to us until we know what we want and we have made a Committed DECISION
to have what we want!!
Decisions
or lack of them are responsible for the breaking or making of careers.
Analysis
of several hundred people who had accumulated fortunes well beyond the million
dollar mark, disclosed the fact that every one of them had the habit of
REACHING DECISIONS PROMPTLY, and of changing these decisions SLOWLY, if, and
when they were changed. People who fail to accumulate money, without
exceptions, have the habit of reaching decisions, IF AT ALL, very slowly, and
of changing these decisions quickly and often.
Individuals
who have become very proficient in making decisions without being influenced by
the opinions of others are the same people whose annual incomes fall into the
six, seven and eight figure category. The person who has never developed the
mental strength to make these vital moves is relegated to the lower income
ranks their entire commercial career. And more often than not their life
becomes little more than a dull boring existence. It’s not just your income
that is affected by decisions. Your whole life is dominated by this power. The
health of your mind and body, the well being of your family, your social life,
the type of relationships you develop, are all dependent upon your ability to
make sound decisions.
Making
a decision must never be based I will TRY that, but only if this happens first
etc. There are no tries, ifs or buts on the road to success and certainly not
in real decision making.
Most
of us will not often make decisions on our own, many individuals look first to
what others will think of their choices. This is not freedom. ONLY YOU know
what you want so only YOU should be the one making decisions about your own
life. As long as what you decide is not hurting yourself or others GO FOR IT.
Especially if what you want is helping educate your mind and spirit then say YES
to these things. Let’s repeat this …
No
one but YOU knows what is best for you.
You
have a brain and mind of your own. USE IT, and reach your own decisions. IF you
need facts or information from other people, to enable you to reach decisions,
as you probably will in many instances; acquire these facts or secure the
information you need quietly, without disclosing your purpose.
Once
a decision has been made all will come to our aid to fulfill our goals and
worthy ideals. Making a decision is a real commitment and Spirit that is us, as
us, KNOWS when we have made a real committed YES to what we want.
How
is never our worry, the way How will appear once we have made a REAL DECISION
to go for it. Things that before looked impossible now become possible. Do not
ask God how this works, take action and make a decision.
Yes,
DECISION is a single mental move you can make which in a millisecond will solve
enormous challenges for you. It has the potential to improve almost any
personal or business situation you will ever encounter, and it can literally
propel you down the path to incredible success.
And
you’ve already begun by thinking about and digesting this information. This
message is causing you to become more aware of the importance of decisions.
James
Allen, the great Victorian author, might have been thinking of decisions when
he wrote, “We think in secret and it comes to pass. Environment is but our
looking glass.”
No
one can see you making decisions, but they can always see the results of your
decisions. The person who fails to develop this ability, to make decisions, is
doomed because indecision sets up internal conflicts which can, without
warning, escalate to all out mental and emotional wars. Psychiatrists have a
name to describe these internal wars, it is ambivalence. The oxford dictionary
tells us that ambivalence is “The coexistence in one person of opposite feelings
toward the same objective”.
The
person who does permit it to exist will become very despondent and virtually
incapable of any type of productive activity. It is obvious that anyone who
finds themselves in such a mental state is not living; at best they are merely
existing. A decision or a series of decisions would change everything. A very
basic law of the universe is; create or disintegrate. Indecision causes disintegration.
How often have you heard a person say, “I don’t know what to do?” How often
have you heard yourself say, “What should I do?”
Think
about some of the indecisive feelings you and virtually everyone else on this
planet experience from time to time. Love them/leave them. Leave/Stay. Do it/don’t
do it. Go to work/Watch TV. Buy it/don’t buy it. Say it/don’t say it. Tell
them/don’t tell them. Everyone, on occasion, has experienced these feelings of ambivalence.
So,
make decisions based on what YOU WANT and then do not change your mind and do
not let the appearances or other people influence you.
If
you want it and it is good for you Make a Decision and go for it…
You
must decide what you want!
WHAT
DO YOU WANT?
Find
out what you really, really want, way down deep inside and go for it…or you’ll
remain in the foothills forever with all the what if folks.
Very
few people have admitted to themselves that THIS is what I want. This is what I
really want and I’m prepared to give my life for it. That last statement may
cause you to sit up and say, “Wait a minute, this Proctor fellow must be mad,
give my life for it?” And that’s fine, but you must seriously think about it.
Why?
Because
you are already giving your life for what you are doing.
What
are you doing?
What
are you trading your life for?
Are
you making a fair trade?
Remember,
whatever you are doing was your decision. Or was it? Or was it?
You
could possibly be one of those poor people who have been wandering in the
foothills leaving the decisions of where you are going and what you are doing
with your life to other people. Just following, always following. That is where
most people live. If that is the case, that’s OK.
Don’t
let it bother you for one more valuable second of your marvelous life. Forgive
yourself and that way of life.
Just
let it go forever.
Those
who reach DECISIONS promptly and definitely, know what they want, and generally
get it. The leaders in every walk of life DECIDE quickly, and firmly. That is
the major reason why they are leaders. The world has the habit of making room
for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going.
INDECISION
is a habit which usually begins in youth. The habit takes on permanency as the
youth goes through graded school, high school, and even through college,
without DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE. The major weakness of all educational systems
is that they neither teach nor encourage the habit of DEFINITE DECISION.
It
would be beneficial if no college would permit the enrollment of any student,
unless and until the school declared his major purpose in matriculating. It
would be of still greater benefit, if every student who enters the graded
school were compelled to accept training in the HABIT OF DECISION, and forced
to pass a satisfactory examination on this subject before being permitted to
advance in the grades.
The
habit of INDECISION acquired because of the deficiencies of our school systems,
goes with the student into the occupation he choses. ..IF..in fact, he choses
his occupation. He takes the first place he finds, because he has fallen into
the habit of INDECISION. Ninety-eight out of every hundred people working for
wages today, are in the positions they hold, because they lacked the
DEFINITENESS OF DECISION to PLAN A DEFINITE POSITION, and the knowledge of how
to choose an employer.
DEFINITENESS
OF DECISION always requires courage, sometimes very great courage. The person
who reaches a DEFINITE DECISION to procure the particular job, and make life
pay the prices he asks, does not stake his life on that decision; he stakes his
economic freedom. Financial independence, riches, desirable business and
professional positions are not within reach of the person who neglects or
refuses to EXPECT, PLAN, and DEMAND these things.
At
this point you could be asking yourself, “How is a person expected to develop
this mental ability?” Well, there is an answer for you. You must do it on your
own.
Decision
making is definitely a worthwhile subject to study and a mental discipline you
can master.
Decision
making could be compared to a number of mental disciplines like thinking,
Imagineering, meditating or concentrating. Each one, when developed, brings with
it tremendous rewards. The person who makes the decision to strengthen these
mental muscles receives as their reward what is often considered a charmed
life. You can virtually eliminate conflict and confusion in your life by
becoming proficient in making decisions. Decision making brings order to your
mind. And of course, this order is reflected in your objective world, your
results.
