“More than anything else, I believe it’s our decision, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny.” Anthony Robbins
Several months ago, I made an important decision. I decided that I was NOT going to participate in this recession. I decided I was NOT going to let myself get all bummed out and depressed by all the doom and gloom that was in the newspapers and on the television. (I simply changed channels and starting reading and watching positive articles and shows!)
I decided to focus on the only things that I had any real control over: my thoughts, my words, and my actions.
As a small business owner, I decided I was going to work not only harder, but SMARTER than I had in the past. Now, I carefully monitor ALL my activities and efforts very carefully and have learned to say NO to those things that are not benefiting my business or my personal growth.
I decided not to hang around with people who were negative and always looked at the glass as half empty. If you have read Jon Gordon’s book – The Energy Bus – you will know he refers to these types of people as Energy Vampires! So, I said good bye to those energy vampires and only surround myself with positive people.
I decided to embrace change, not to fear it! Changes were going to happen anyway, why not enjoy the ride? And, I actually now look forward to the changes that happen in my life! It makes it more exciting!
I decided to start living my life in *real time*, not in the past or in the future….but in the now! By doing this, my life is MUCH more enjoyable! I have less regrets and less worries.
I decided that money was not the end all goal. Money comes in and out of my life; it does not rule my life nor determine my success!
I decided to stop making excuses.
Finally, I decided to have more fun! I do this by spending more time with the people I love and doing things I really enjoy!
And, ya know what? I am feeling really good about my future. I feel in control and excited about what the future holds for me. What have YOU decided?
