You possess this force, this Power....

   Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision. Who would have thought that the determination and conviction of a quiet, unassuming man - a lawyer by trade and a pacifist by principle - would have the the power to topple a vast empire?  Yet Mahatma Gandhi's indomitable decision to rid India of British rule was a virtual powder keg that set in motion a chain of events that would forever change the balance of world power. People didn't see how he could accomplish his aims, but he'd left himself no other choice than to act according to his conscience. He simply wouldn't accept any other possibility. Decision was the source of Donald Trump's meteoric rise to the top of the financial world and also the source of his devastating downfall. Decisions act as the source of both problems and incredible joys and opportunities. This is the power that sparks the process of turning the invisible into the visible. True decisions are the ca...

You can make a decision.........

      People often complain about their jobs. I often ask them, "Why did you go to work today?" Their answer usually is, "Because I had to".  You and I need to remember one thing: there is virtually nothing that we have to do in this world. You certainly don't have to go to work. And you certainly don't have to work at a particular location on a particular day. You don't have to do what you've done  for the last ten years.  You can decide to do something else, something new today. Right now you can make a decision.  To go back to school, to master dancing or singing, to take control of your finances, to learn to fly a helicopter, to turn your body into an inspiration, to begin meditating, to enroll in ballroom dancing, to learn to speak  in French, to read more to your children, to spend more time in your garden, even to fly to Fiji and live on an island.  If you really decide to, you can do almost anything. So if you don't lik...

Set standards for acceptable behaviour for yourself and others

Set standards for what you consider to be acceptable behaviour for yourself and decide what you should expect from those you care about. If you don't set a standard for what you'll accept in your life, you'll find it easy to slip into behaviours and attitudes  or a quality of life that's far below  what you deserve. You need to set and live by these standards no what happens in your life. Even if it all goes wrong, even if the stock market crashes, even if your lover leaves you,even if no one gives you the support that you need, you still must stay committed to your decision  that you will live your life at the highest level. Unfortunately most people never do this because they're too busy making excuses. The reason they haven't achieved their goals or are not living the lives they desire is because of the way their parents treated them or because of the lack of opportunities that they experienced in their youth,  or because of the education they missed, or...

Difference between being interested in something and being committed to It.

    Is there a difference between being interested in something and being committed to it?You bet there is! Many times people say things like, Gosh, I really would like to make more money," or "I'd like to be closer to my kids," or "You know, I'd really like to make a difference in the world."  But that kind of statement is not a commitment at all. It's merely stating a preference, saying, "I'm interested in having this happen, if I don't have to do anything." That's not power, it's a weak prayer made without even the faith to launch it.     Not only do you have to decide what results you are committed to, but also the kind of person that you're committed to becoming.
