Decision
Founder - Editor - Host
You already know that the key to success is taking deliberate,
directed action. How do you accomplish this, with so many
choices open to you?
Power lies in the ability to define your personal purpose in
life. You must make the decision, backed by firm resolve,
concerning your big picture. Jean-Paul Sartre wrote, "Man can
will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count
on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in
the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with
no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other
destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth."
Do not get this confused with the "Power of the Mastermind" in
which you create a group of people working toward a common
goal. Defining your purpose in life is a personal thing, one
that must be created on your terms. The interaction of
significant others in your life becomes a part of your
purpose, and there is no one else on the planet who has the
same life or relationships.
The power of visualization can help you define this purpose.
Picture the end of your day. What have you accomplished
today, and how did you do it? Make your decisions based on
the end picture. Now, picture the end of your week. What
have you accomplished this week, and how did you do it? Make
your decisions based on this end picture. Keep defining
portions of your life in bigger bites, and you will arrive at
your big picture of success with swift clarity.
Once you have defined your purpose, direct your life and forge
ahead without fear. You will make some mistakes, but that is
a part of the definition of success. "Good judgment comes
from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment," wrote
Mullah Nasrudin. The decision-making process requires that
you make some bad choices, in order to gain knowledge. This
process will move you, in the most direct line, toward
success.
