IF YOU DON’T DECIDE WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE, SOMEONE ELSE WILL DECIDE FOR YOU

Your destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. Many people have the right aims in life – they just never get around to pulling the trigger. You have to know what you want in order to attain it.
Harvey Cox said, “Not to decide is to decide.” Weeds grow easily in the soil of indecision. Get out of the middle of the road. Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you can get knocked down by traffic going both directions. The train of failure runs on the track of indecision.

Because of indecision

you can die before you’re actually dead. “Indecision is debilitating; it feeds upon itself; it is, one might say, habit forming. Not only that, but it is contagious; it transmits itself to others” (H. A. Hopf).
A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two is never quite sure. Until you are decisive committed, there is hesitancy and the chance to drew back, followed by ineffectiveness. Listen to what you say. If you hear yourself saying, “I’ve decided,” you’re on the path towards an exciting and productive life

Leaders have wills,

not just wishes. The greater degree of wishful thinking, the greater degree of mediocrity. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives that others have set before them, not the ones they’ve chosen for themselves. This lifestyle will leave you unhappy. However consider what Mike Murdock says, “You have no right to complain about what you permit.”

A wise person makes his own decisions;

an ignorant one following public opinion. Don’t worry about not making a decision; someone else will make it for you. You are where you are today because of the choices you’ve made and haven’t made. “The average man does not know what to do with this life, yet wants another one which will last forever France.

Results and success follow commitment and decisions

The result is that one decisive person always accomplishes more than a hundred people with just an interest. Decisions are what transform an idea into a reality.

Be decisive

even if it means you’ll sometimes be wrong. A key to your future is that you can still choose, you can still decide. What you commit yourself to be will change you from what you are into what you can be. Decision determines destiny.
