What is something you would like in your life? There is one thing that we can shape that will transform our lives in an instant. It is so powerful.
I have come to learn that there is one thing that we can shape that will transform our lives in an instant. It is often taken for granted. It many times just sits on a shelf for people. Yet it is such a powerful element that when it is used will not only change the life of its beholder – it will change the lives of many.
Imagine for a second if you will, what is something you would like in your life. Make the details as clear as possible. In your heart and mind you know this to be something you want in your life – you know you deserve it. In fact you should have it.
Yet it is not there. It is not in your life. And it does not matter if it is a physical thing or a behaviour or something you do. If you want something and it has not shown up yet. There is one element in you that you can shape to change that.
That one thing is making a decision. When you decide you have taken control and began the process of turning your dream into reality. And it does not have to be a big dream. It could be as simple as a cup of coffee, or going for a walk, or calling a loved one.
But we get in our heads and start talking to ourselves. We actually make a decision but in an unfavorable way. Why this is so powerful is that we make decisions all the time. We just put any value to them. This is why when you realize the power of this element in you know as decision making, you begin to see that in an instant you can change your life.
Have you ever had something BIG happen in your life? Maybe you lost weight, or got married, or moved to a new home?
The thinking process that led up to you deciding to actually take that first step probably had you in a long evaluating process. Regardless of how long the evaluation process was, the decision making was instantaneous.
You decided in a split second…. “I am doing this.” BAM and just like that, all your efforts, emotions and future thoughts all focus now on the target – the thing you want for yourself. For many people this is where they realize that this single element, of the ones that are in you to shape is one of the most powerful. It can actually put you on a course for your life that is in an opposite direction. 180 degrees from where you were going to where you will go.
Examples of this are smokers who stop cold turkey. Or People who lose weight and get in great shape. Or someone who makes a stand and changes the world for years beyond their time… like Ghandi. He would fast as penance. He decided peace was more powerful and thus his actions and thoughts were in line with that decision. His simple decision to fight with peace changed a nation AND that decision sparked another to make a decision to make a change. It is said that Ghandi had an influence on Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.
A simple decision is very powerful. So choose them well.
