Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success 2

THE GUIDED DECISION

I will seek wisdom.

Knowing that wisdom waits to be gathered, I will actively search her out. My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions today.

I will change my actions today!

I will train my eyes and ears to read and listen to books and recordings that bring about positive changes in my personal relationships and a greater understanding of my fellow man. No longer will I bombard my mind with materials that feed my doubts and fears. I will read and listen only to that which increases my belief in myself and my future.

I will seek wisdom.

I will choose my friends with care.

I am who my friends are. I speak their language, and I wear their clothes. I share their opinions and their habits. From this moment forward, I will choose to associate with people whose lives and lifestyles I admire. If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs. If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar great heights. I am an eagle. It is my destiny to fly.

I will seek wisdom.

I will listen to the counsel of wise men.

The words of a wise man are like raindrops on dry ground. They are precious and quickly used for immediate results. Only the blade of grass that catches a raindrop will prosper and grow. The person who ignores wise counsel is like the blade of grass untouched by the rain—soon to wither and die.

When I counsel with myself, I can only make decisions according to what I already know. By counseling with a wise man, I add his knowledge and experience to my own and dramatically increase my success.

I will seek wisdom.

I will be a servant to others.

A wise man will cultivate a servant’s spirit, for that particular attribute attracts people like no other.

As I humbly serve others, their wisdom will be freely shared with me. Often, the person who develops a servant’s spirit becomes wealthy beyond measure. Many times, a servant has the ear of the king, and a humble servant becomes king for he is the popular choice of the people. He who serves the most grows the fastest.

I will become a humble servant. I will not look for someone to open my door—I will look to open the door for someone. I will not be distressed when no one is available to help me—I will be excited when I am available to help.

I will be a servant to others. I will listen to the counsel of wise men. I will choose my friends with care.

I will seek wisdom.

I SEEK WISDOM!!

"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living, the other helps you make a life."

I love every single one of the Traveler's Gift series, but this is my Favorite!! It's almost as if I written it myself!!

The creation of this Incredible group has made an impact on my Life and my Mindset!! I'm so Grateful you are all here to share this Amazing journey with me!!

I No longer watch the News. It's only filled with negativity!! And I am ALWAYS listening to or read things that "FEED MY MIND!" I commit 2 hours each day to do so.

I have a priceless collection of Positive and Inspiring books and audios!! My library is my Heaven on Earth!! It's worth more than my shoes!! LOL (I have a ridiculous amount of shoes, my "old" ways) And I am SOOOOOO Grateful I've been able to share some of my library with you!!

Wow- this is JUST INCREDIBLE! Every word seems to resonate within me like a chakra- I WILL choose wisdom. I love how it is examined that EVERY single thing we choose to put around us brings us to who we are. I know that a lot of times I put unhealthy things in my life that are depressing and without even thinking about it I become depressed and downtrodden.

BEAUTIFUL POST! Thanks- I love the part about the servant it is SO true- may I work on becoming that servant to learn more and more about others!
