I Have a Decided Heart! …Decision #4

 

In Andy Andrews’ book, The Traveler’s Gift, he talks about 7 Decisions that determine personal success.

 

The 4th one deals with “PASSION.”

 

  • I am passionate about my vision for the future.
  • The power to control my direction belongs to me.
  • Today, I will begin to exercise that power.
  • I will awake every morning with excitement about opportunities for growth and change.
  • I have dreams.
  • My hopes, passions and vision for the future is my existence.
  • My course has been charted and my destiny is assured.

 

 

Daniel 1:8 talks about how Daniel “purposed in his heart.”  He DECIDED before hand what his values were. He DECIDED in advance about his destiny, his future and how he would make decisions in life. 

 

My own experience has been, when I decide in advance, there’s no hesitation or second guessing. If I’m going to get up early and go to the gym, I don’t decide at 5:00 am. I decide no later than the night before.

 

“Where the values are clear, the decisions are easy.”

 

 

Decision #1:  No More Excuses!

Decision #2:  Knowledge is Power!

Decision #3:  Taking Action Works!

 

Stay tuned for the next 3 decisions…

I left a party early tonight so that I could catch up in the rain.  I have never done that before. I'm starting to make the better choices as of late.

Don - After watching Andy Andrew's on a PBS show, I was hooked and have all his books and CD's. He's very inspirational and it's amazing he is where he is, from where he came. I found so much inspiration in just how he published his own book, when nobody else would and became an overnight sensation. I think I'll listen to him in my car tomorrow for a little more inspiration - thanks for the reminder!

Don, an excellent book from Andy. I happen to listen to him at one of the conferences about all 7.

It sounds fresh in your posts - sort of revising them..

We need to know who we are and have made decisions about how to handle some situations before the situation arises. 

Love this post.

I like the message of this one, Don.

I work in an area of Silicon Valley (Santa Clara County) with Lynbrook High School and other Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Campbell, Monte Sereno and Saratoga, Calif. homes. Please consider adding me as an associate (or subscribing to my blog) as well and hopefully we can do business together in the future.
