Know that it's your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.  Before we learn the technology for changing how you think and how you feel every day of your life, You should remember that in the final analysis, everything you've read in these articles  is  worthless ..... unless you decide to use it. Remember that a truly committed decision is the force that changes your life. It's a power available to you in any moment if you just decide to use it. There are going to be challenges in your future. But as the people of Eastern Europe have learned, if you've decided to get past the walls, you can climb over them, you can break through them, you can tunnel under them, or you can find a door. No matter how long a wall has stood, none has the power to withstand the con...

Harness The Power of Decision

http://amzn.to/2FpPX1G Fashion for Men There are six quick steps to help you harness the power of decision, the power that shapes your experience of life every moment that you live it. http://amzn.to/2FpPX1G   1. Remember the true power of making decisions. It's a tool you can use in any moment to change your entire life.  The minute you make  a new decision, you set in motion a new cause, effect, direction, and destination for your life. You literally begin to change your life the moment you make a new decision.  Remember that when you start feeling overwhelmed, or when you feel like you don't have a choice, or when things are happening "to" you, you can change it all if you just stop and decide to do so.  Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action.

How to carry yourself through extremely tough times

100 Kitchen items 100 Kitchen items One belief that I've developed to carry me through extremely tough times is simply this : God's delays are not God's denials.   100 Kitchen items Often, what seems impossible in the short term becomes very possible in the long term if you persist.  100 Kitchen items In order to succeed, we need to discipline ourselves to consistently think long term.  A metaphor that I use to remind myself of this is comparing life's ups and down to the changing of the seasons.  No season lasts forever because all of life is a cycle of planting, reaping, resting, and renewal. Winter is not infinite : even if you're  having challenges today, you can never give up on the coming of spring. For some people, winter means hibernation, for others, it means bobsledding and downhill skiing. You can always just wait out the season, but why not make it into a...

Commit yourself to long-term results

Cute cute baby Cute cute baby Deciding to commit yourself to long-term results, rather than short-term fixes, is as important as any decision you'll make in your lifetime. Failing to do this can cause not only massive financial  or societal pain, but sometimes even the ultimate personal pain. One young man you may have heard of dropped out of high school because he decided he wasn't going to wait any longer to follow his dream of becoming a famous musician. But this dream didn't become reality quickly enough.  In fact, by  the time he was twenty-two, he feared  that he had made the wrong decision, and that no one would ever love his music. He'd been playing in piano bars, and he was flat broke, sleeping in laundromats  because he no longer had a home.  The only thing that had been holding him together was his romantic relationship.  Then his girlfriend decided to leave him, and when she did, it pushed him over the edge. He immediately focu...

In order to succeed you must have long-term focus

Sports shoes Sports shoes In order to succeed you must have long-term focus.  Most of the challenges that we have in our personal lives - like indulging constantly in overeating, drinking, or smoking to feeling overwhelmed and giving up on our dreams - come from a short-term focus.  Success and failure   are not overnight experiences. It's all the small decisions along the way that cause people to fail. It's failure to manage our mental and emotional states. It's failure to control what we focus on. Conversely, success is the result of making small decisions : deciding to hold yourself to a higher standard, deciding to contribute, deciding to feed your mind rather than allowing the environment to control you - these small decisions create the life experience we call success. No individual or organization that has become successful has done so with short-term focus.  Sports shoes As a society, we're so focused on instantaneous gratification that our ...

Having a Role Model

Hot Fashion Hot Fashion As important as personal experience is, think how invaluable it is to have a role model as well - someone who's navigated the rapids before you and has a good map for you to follow. You can have a role model for your finances, a model for your relationships, a model for your health, a model for your profession, or a model for any aspect of your life you're learning to master. They can save you years of pain and keep you from going over the falls. There will be times when you're on the river solo and you'll have to make some important decisions on your own. The good news is that if you're willing to learn from your experiences, then even times you  think were difficult become great because they provide valuable information- key distinctions - that you will use to make better decisions in the future. In fact, any extremely successful person you meet will tell you - If they're honest with you - that the reason they're more su...
