Decide to be Different

If you believe that time has passed you by, your best days are behind you, or that somehow you've failed too many times to have another chance, nothing could be further from the truth. Today is the best day to begin - the best opportunity for a new destiny. After his first audition, a casting director told actor Sidney Poitier, "Why don't you stop wasting people's time and go out and become a dishwasher or something?" It was at that moment, recalls Poitier, that he decided to devote his life to acting. He wasn't going to let someone else decide his life path. Stop sitting on the fence. Make a decision to be different. Stop straddling the middle of the road. There's nothing in the middle of the road, but yellow stripes and dead armadillo. Decide to do something now to make your life better. The choice is yours. "My decision is maybe - and that's final." Is this you? Being decisive is essential for a successful life. If you deny yourself commitment, what will you do with your life? Every accomplishment, great or small, starts with a decision. If you have the will to win, you have achieved half your success; if you don't, you have achieved half your failure. The moment you definitely commit yourself, change begins. All sorts of things happen to help you that never would have otherwise occurred. Kenneth Blanchard observed, "There is a difference between interests and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you only do it when it is convenient. When you are committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results." Lack of decisiveness has caused more failures than lack of intelligence or ability. Indecision often gives an advantage to the other person because they did their thinking beforehand. Helen Keller said, "Science may have found a cure for most evil; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all-the apathy of human beings." Don't leave a decision for tomorrow that needs to be made today. Remember, don't be a "middle-of-the-roader" because the middle of the road is the worst place to try to go forward. You can do everything you ought to do once you make a decision. Today, decide on your dream. Do you need help in determining the best path forward? Truth@Life can help.
