What do you want to accomplish this year? This week is all about actively achieving your goals, and in particular, how the decision-making process is crucial to your success.
“Our decisions entirely shape our destiny.” – Tony Robbins
If you look back on your life, I am sure that you can recall the most defining moments – those moments in which you decided to finally leave a relationship or a job that was no longer serving you. It’s likely that those decisions were preceded by months or years of obsessing over what to do before finally pulling the trigger.
In the same way, you must make the decision to write today, or to invest in whatever it takes to move closer towards your goals, whether that is taking a class, booking an appointment with a coach, or pursuing a partnership that will help propel your writing career forward.
Take some time today to think about what decisions you can make this week that will determine the course of your life’s destiny.
The outcome of your next goal or desire entirely depends on the decisions that you make.
Challenge
Set three minutes on a timer and journal: Which decisions can I make this week that are in alignment with the outcome I want to create? For example, completing your book by the holidays, getting a piece published in a journal that you admire, or even booking a TEDx Talk. What is the very next decision you need to make in order to make your goal a reality?
When making a decision, consider it from the hot/cold perspective: Am I getting closer to my goal (hotter), or farther away (colder)? Commit to making ‘hot,’ powerful decisions this week. The great thing about decisions is that it doesn’t matter how we feel about them. We can still think we suck and we’re not good enough. But if you make the decision and follow through with the action, you CAN finish that book or contact that person to book an event.
