“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.” – Napoleon Bonaparte

The world does not lack millions of dreams, hopes, aspirations and ambitions however 99.9% are never realized. Merely wishing and dreaming, everyone can do but moving beyond that stage to a stage of realization and fulfillment eludes many people. The reason is simple many people take no action and they take no action because they do not really decide to pursue and attain their dreams and visions. The power of decision making is therefore crucial to move towards your goals and aspirations.

 

You can’t obtain what you have not decided to obtain. The first step is to decide positively, strongly and with every scintilla of power in  your being. When that is arrived at then all of nature will conspire to deliver you what you ask for.

 

So what is decision?

 

Decisions no matter how you look at it is about making resolutions, resolving and determining to undertake a course of action. Decisions are so powerful that they are really the determining factor of where you are today. Your progress will never outpace the quality of decisions you make.

 

You can dream all you like day and night forever and you will not get your dreams until you decide that I will possess my dreams and that I will pay the price and take actions. Many people have plenty ideas in their minds of doing so many things but somehow never do them. The only reason why they never act is because they never reached a decision to take action.

 

People have dreams of writing books, starting a business, starting a family, community work or volunteering but they never do it. They have not yet reached a decision to do it. To succeed at anything, you must act as the Nike mantra puts it – just to do it. Yes, just do it, it will amaze you how far you will go if you just do it.
