This is where my 2016 advent calendar started: one word and one book for every day up to Christmas. First published December 2016.
Decide
"Make a decision and watch your life move forward" (Oprah Winfrey, What I Know For Sure)
If there's anything you want in life, the first thing you have to do is decide what it is. Without a decision, you've done nothing.
Here's something you may or may not know. The word decision comes from the same root as the word incision. An incision means to slice into something. A decision is when you cut off, as in you cut off every other possible option. That's what it truly means to decide.
So if you want to make things happen in your life, what are you so committed to that you're prepared to cut off everything else? A true decision basically means: I'm doing this, there is no discussion. There is nothing to think about. It is what it is. It is happening.
So, what have you decided to do? What is it that you're going to do? Because when you make a decision and you move forward with it, that's when you start to see changes in your life.
The book: What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey.
