Years ago, when I was active in my executive strategic leadership consulting and sales coaching practice, I made this statement:
Indecision is a decision not to take action.
This statement came from listening and watching my clients make excuses not to take action, not to do what must or should be done.
The other day I came across this quote by Epictetus in his “Discourses”
"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.”
Henry Ford words are a branch between my thoughts and Epictetus:
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”
Self-belief is a mindset, an attitude which is a habit of thought.
Napoleon Hill recognized:
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.”
Of course, sometimes our first attempt to achieve what we want is not successful. Yet, Winston Churchill shared:
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
In other words, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." (Various citations)
Determination is attitude partner within one’s mindset. As the days turn into months and the months complete another year possibly the words of Tommy Lasorda may be additional motivation
“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination.”
