Decision
Everybody talks about motivation and goal setting. It's timeless. Everyone is also trying to make it look very complicated, like its a secret. "The Secret." Really? Since when did all of this "motivational" stuff became a secret. When did taking care of yourself and taking responsibility for your own actions become a novelty? I don't believe that you can buy motivation. You either have it or you don't. I'm not trying to motivate; instead, I will suggest you with the tools to make better decisions and as results live the life you always wanted.
I'm going to talk a little about something we make every day: decisions.
I hope you understand that everything about and around you is a result of your own decisions. Your whole life is a result of your own decisions. "Decision" is the bridge between your thoughts and your actions. We make decisions every day. From simple decisions as brushing your teeth to deciding "with or without crème in your coffee." Everything you do is a result of a decision.
But what is the definition of a "decision" and why is it so important for you to understand this?
When making any decision, whether you like it or not, you are okay with the consequences. We are instantly and subconsciously validating the outcome of our decisions as we are making them. If you think about it, it only makes sense to make those decisions that will eventually make us
happy and achieve our goals; however, that's not always the case. For example, when we decide to stay up all night drinking, we are immediately accepting the fact that tomorrow we are going to have a hangover. Why would you complain about being sick after consciously and deliberately make the decision to drink all night? Because we also made a decision to ignore the consequences. It's almost a state of denial. As you take responsibility for the consequences of your decisions, you are also deciding to stay in control, therefore, you cannot complain about the outcome.
Remember? You accepted the consequences. By taking responsibility you have the power to change the outcome. If you don't like or agree with the results of your decisions,change them. For example, when you decide to go for a swim, you understand and accept the fact you are not going
to drown. Bottom line, when making any decision we are accepting the consequences. When people fail to understand this, they will complain about the consequences and will not be happy with the results.
There are two types of decisions: conscious decisions and subconscious decision.
