Hello friends, trust the weekend has been great. As May winds down,
we anticipate a bright and beautiful June, filled with the excitement
and energy summer brings.
Our focus this weekend on The Weekend Bite™ Online is #decision.
A decision is the process or action of coming to a conclusion or
position based on a consideration. We make decisions everyday on little
factors such as what to wear, what route to take or what to do.
However, there are also big decisions which have the capacity to affect
our lives in more ways than we can imagine.
Sometimes people find it easy to make decisions, while others struggle
because of the existence of several variables that limit their ability
to think clearly and arrive at a reasonable conclusion.
Confusion, fear and wrong counsel can impede our ability to make good
decisions. Sometimes we allow ourselves to be haunted by our past
failures, perceived inability or discouraging statements made by others.
We can see several roads before us but lack the confidence to decide on
which to take. The fear of the unknown of what could lie at the end of
these roads could freeze us in our steps such that we stand at the
junction until valuable time is lost.
So what do we do when faced with indecision?
First thing is to outline your goals. Forget the fear of the unknown;
forget what other people think. What do you want to achieve? Your
indecision will affect no one else but you. It will be you dealing with
the insecurities and feelings of personal failure when you think of lost
time void of any achievements.
The next thing is identifying and eliminating any reason for past
failure in those areas. Did you fail because of lack of dedication,
diligence or confidence? It's time to stand to your feet and make the necessary corrections.
Then you've got to identify what you need to do to attain these goals
and decide to take the necessary steps. It's time to run the race down
the road you choose.
It is great to pray for direction when making decisions. However, we
must not allow ourselves to be knocked down by how rough our chosen
road is. Instead, decide to keep going until you get to where you want
to be and fulfil your goals and dreams.
Decide to make quality decisions and remain accountable and responsible
for whatever you choose. Focus on your goals and decide to never give up
until you attain them.
The quality of our lives is a product of our decisions. Take some time,
think deeply, meditate, research, resolve and do! Get your decisions in
order today and everything else will be settled. Remember the value of
time is in how you use it, don't waste it being burdened with
indecision. Take a leap of faith and fight it out even till the end!
May we have the wisdom and insight we need to make the best decisions for our lives!
Cheers!
