Dear loving people,
Having talked about lesson one which was asking you to stop avoiding
failure, one of the ways to do that is to start making decisions that move you
forward.
Lesson II: Make a decision.
As we move through life’s gigantic
stage, we are bombarded with lots of options and thus, we make hundreds, if not
millions, of micro-decisions every day – from what to focus our energy on, to
how to respond to
an email, to what to eat for lunch. However, people often find it hard to make
decisions - inevitably we all have to make decisions all the time, even if some
are more important than others.
Some people put off making decisions by
endlessly searching for more information or getting other people to offer their
recommendations. Others resort to decision making by taking a vote,
sticking a pin in a list or tossing a coin.
Colin Powell, a man I admire
so much for his prowess says, “At some
point, before we can have every possible fact in hand, we have to decide. After
you have acquired 40 to 70 percent of information about a situation, go with
your gut.”
Why not, you want to be
remembered, and so the decisions you MUST make each day whether you like it or
not will determine the legacy you leave behind. That comes up in our next post….
