Life Is Full Of Decisions

Your professional and personal life, your success, happiness in your job, satisfaction with your level of performance, and so much more, are not achieved by accident. It takes commitment, motivation and consistent action and persistence.

More importantly, the journey to success, happiness and fulfilment always begins the moment you make the decision to be successful and happy. It all starts the moment you make the right choices that are congruent with that decision.

An executive in a thriving IT company had often thought of resigning as he felt he didn’t have the knowledge and added qualifications required to progress any further up the promotional ladder. With all the hours that he puts in, he couldn’t find the time to improve on his credentials.

After some consideration, this executive had gained enough confidence to make the decision that would easily advance his career. By finding it within himself to be courageous and confident to reach higher, he made the decision to invest in himself, to gain the knowledge required to move up the ladder he was so scared of.

Having made that decision, he committed two hours every night, no matter what, to study, to learn more, to expand his knowledge in his field, rather than to watch television or socialise.

This man, in a short while, got the promotion that he wanted. And at the company’s head office, no less.

What is that one decision that you can make today that can have a positive impact on your life?

It is important not to overlook your quest to enhance your personal and professional development and growth. Through leadership, you have the potential for advancement and expansion. And, equally, through your leadership and guidance, you can improve on the people around you.

If you run a business or are a manager, take the lead to train and develop your team so that they may become better, so they may progress.

In due time, they may also run the business or department outside of your presence. This will, in turn, give you the opportunity to focus on other things that require your more immediate attention that perhaps you have been unable to attend to.

This concept will have a positive impact on you department or business. It will lift the moral of your team or staff. They will feel more involved, which may bring added enthusiasm and motivation, not forgetting satisfaction.

Maximise other people’s potential through your leadership. It is a win-win situation!

When you want to learn something quickly or to get proficient at something fast, you simply practise doing that thing over and over again.

For example, if you want to improve your sales presentation skills, do more presentations. Similarly, if you want to become more competent on cold sales, then pick up the phone and do more sales calls.

Through repetition you become more confident and courageous, more knowledgeable and skilful. Nothing even comes close to the power and benefit of repetition.

How do you think you got very good at your job? How did you learn the route from home to the office? How did you get good at making presentations or meeting people, or anything? It’s through the power of repetition.

When you practise anything every day, you’ll get so skilled at it, it becomes automatic. If you drive a car, you don’t consciously change gears, do you? You simply reach out with your left hand and change gears. You don’t think about it. You just go ahead and do it. Automatically.

Remember this when you begin to feel irritated or discouraged at your lack of ability when trying to do something new.

Substitute helplessness with the desire to practise.

I read this somewhere; “You don’t choose the things you believe in, they choose you.”

In many ways, that statement can be true; that our circumstances may very well choose or dictate our beliefs.

If you compare a person who has grown up with supportive parents with someone who has uncaring parents, do you suppose the two will have similar beliefs? I doubt it.

Yet, it certainly doesn’t mean that they both cannot be highly successful. Sure they can, so long as they are driven by their desire and passion to be successful.

Old limiting beliefs can be changed. The person who has unsupportive and uncaring parents can learn to take full control of and change all his beliefs.

He can develop the most empowering beliefs and be highly optimistic about a bright future, when he makes that decision to direct and focus his thoughts, his new thoughts, on what he wants to achieve in life.

He can learn to release his past obstructive beliefs, and create and develop new supportive and encouraging ones that support him in reaching all his dreams and desires.

Yes, circumstances can create our beliefs, especially when we are young and vulnerable. But we do have the power to change the negative, limiting beliefs into empowering and supportive beliefs so we may live the life that we choose to have.

You can enjoy life to the fullest and achieve anything that you want, anything, when you believe in yourself and in your capabilities.

Every one of us was born with specific gifts and talents; we all have exceptional strengths in something in our lives. Some people might be talented to write, others might be to lead, perhaps be great communicators, motivators, chairpersons, head teachers.

Whatever it might be, you have a purpose. And when you find that purpose, having the courage to believe in yourself is a driving force that will make that purpose a reality.

When you have strong beliefs about something it is amazing, perhaps surprising at times, how you rise to any challenge that stands in our way.

Your strength and courage are borne from your beliefs. Those beliefs can give you an incredible surge of confidence and tenacity that you may not have thought existed within you to fuel you to manifest your goal.

Take the time to identify your gift, talent or strength and have belief. Believe in your courage to expand on that talent and follow through with your dream, purpose or goal.
