When I grew up, there was a funny song about a young man who went back and forth dating two sisters. After doing that for a while, the girls’ Dad stepped in and told the young man that he had to choose. He had to make a decision between the two.
What decisions will You make today about…
– what to wear?
– eating a burger or a salad?
– whether to exercise or not?
– whether to look for a new job, or stay where you are?
– how to help your child with a project, and how much?
– when is the right time to stop being a “Helicopter Parent”?
– when you will start treating your Future seriously?
Did you ever stop to realize that every single thing that you have ever done – even those things you did out of habit – you did because you Decided to do it? That’s right: you made a decision to do something, or not to do it. You may say, “That is wrong, Scott. Sometimes I made no decision at all about a choice.” Guess what? You DID make a decision: you made a conscious choice NOT to do it! Even Indecision IS a Decision.
So, I have a question for you: When are you going to decide to start treating your Future seriously? Look, we all have Dreams. Only those who Decide to do something about them – who decide every day to do something that moves them forward toward their Dreams – will ever stand a chance of earning the Success they seek.
I challenge you to make a Decision, starting today. Decide to go for your Dreams – with a heightened Sense of Urgency! You can do it. I know you can, but…
…YOU have to make the Decision to do it.
I believe in each of you!
