Make Clear Decisions On What You Want To Be, Do, Have and Achieve Success Faster.

In order to transform your life, you must take the time to decide what you want that transformation to look like. In other words what do you want to Be, Do, and Have?

Most people do not live the life of their dreams because they have never taken the time to decide on their desires, and hence cannot start taking the steps to get there.

"It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." Anthony Robins

Taking a personal inventory by asking your-self some simple questions is the first step to making effective decisions.

What does a successful, fulfilling, and happy life look and feel like to you?

What is currently working well in your life and what is not?
What do you want to see manifest for yourself short term and long term?
Why do you want to change in your circumstances and how will that make you feel?
How will you feel in 1 year or 5 years time if nothing changes?

Open your mind to possibilities. To everything that currently exists there are two sides; first there is a conceptual side and then there is a physical side. Everything is first a thought before it becomes a manifestation.

You need to first see the desired changes in your mind, and feel the excitement before you see it manifest in your life. Only then will you make successful decisions and take actions that will lead you to your desired outcomes.

Allow yourself to start dreaming again. This is a time of stimulation and of anticipation. What can you imagine blooming for you?

By the way, it is as much work to dream small as it is to dream BIG. So you may as well dream big.

Once you decide on the changes you would like to see for yourself, then, it is time to start taking inspired action. Remember, not everything and everyone around you needs to be perfect before you attempt to improve your life. If you work on yourself the things and people around you will automatically start changing for the better. You will also start to attract the resources, people, events, and circumstances that will help you move towards your desired success.

The day I personally gave up being CEO of the universe and thinking that I needed to "fix" things, and decided to focus more on improving myself internally, everything started to run smoother.

"If you put off everything "till you're sure of it, you'll get nothing done." Norman Vincent  Peale

In our western culture we have for the most part been led to believe that we need to have certain things before we can do what we want, and then we will begin to be the person we want to be.

We say things like, "When I have more time or more energy I will start thinking about changing careers."  "When the kids are grown I will start to travel."  You could be waiting for a very long time. You may have already noticed that the time is never just right to take the decisions that will lead you to success.

That's because we have the process completely backwards.

The recipe is as follows: You must first be the person you want to be, so that you can then do what you are inspired to do. Then by following your heart, you will start having what you desire.

Once again, everything starts with a thought. Our thoughts repeated over and over again lead to our beliefs. We make decisions and take actions based around our beliefs. Our actions lead to our results or so called having. It is therefore in your best interest to become the master of your thoughts.

You cannot start the process of transformation by waiting to have what you want. It just does not work that way.

Whether the decision is to be the captain of your sports team, the recognized leader in your company or a multiple 6 figure income earner, you first need to start being that person.

Look around and observe how these folks whom you admire are being. Which decisions are they making?  How are they carrying themselves? How are they speaking? What kind of presence do they exude? Are they being more open minded, more generous of spirit, more loving and forgiving in nature?  How relaxed are they? Are they taking time to be quiet and reflective?

We are called human beings and not human doings, for a reason. We must take the time to Be first.

Once you have identified how those you look up to are being, decide on one or two things that you can start addressing in your character, and proceed to Being more of what you want to ultimately be.

Next you will need to make a decision on how you wish to redistribute your time in order to move towards your desired outcomes. Which activities will you choose to give up, even if you enjoy them, in order to replace them with more productive ones that include personal development?

Remember, you will need to set time aside each day, for yourself. Now, before you sabotage yourself by saying, "I don't have time for that." Ask yourself: "What will it cost me /what pain will I experience if I do not change the decisions I have made so far in my life?

As you practice new thought patterns that lead to more empowering and successful decisions you will find that your external world is starting to shift. The changes may appear to be small at first, but with time, these accumulated small changes will have a significant impact on your life.

You will experience the things you want because your new thoughts serve you better and your decision-making is more effective.
