The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews

Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success 3

© 2002 Andy Andrews

 

THE ACTIVE DECISION

I am a person of action.

Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past.

My future is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet. When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act! I seize this moment. I choose now.

I am a person of action. I am energetic. I move quickly.

Knowing that laziness is a sin, I will create a habit of lively behavior. I will walk with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. The lifeblood rushing through my veins is urging me upward and forward into activity and accomplishment. Wealth and prosperity hide from the sluggard, but rich rewards come to the person who moves quickly.

I am a person of action. I inspire others with my activity. I am a leader.

Leading is doing. To lead, I must move forward. Many people move out of the way for a person on the run; others are caught up in his wake. My activity will create a wave of success for the people who follow. My activity will be consistent. This will instill confidence in my leadership.

As a leader, I have the ability to encourage and inspire others to greatness. It is true: An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep!

I am a person of action. I can make a decision. I can make it now.

A person who moves neither left nor right is destined for mediocrity. When faced with a decision, many people say they are waiting for God. But I understand, in most cases, God is waiting for me!

He has given me a healthy mind to gather and sort information and the courage to come to a conclusion. I am not a quivering dog, indecisive and fearful. My constitution is strong and my pathway clear. Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their mind slowly.

Failures make their decisions slowly and change their mind quickly. My decisions come quickly, and they lead to victory.

I am a person of action. I am daring. I am courageous.

Fear no longer has a place in my life. For too long, fear has outweighed my desire to make things better for my family. Never again! I have exposed fear as a vapor, an impostor who never had any power over me in the first place! I do not fear opinion, gossip, or the idle chatter of monkeys for allare the same to me. I do not fear failure, for in my life, failure is a myth. Failure only exists for the person who quits. I do not quit.

I am courageous. I am a leader. I seize this moment. I choose now.

Absolutely amazing book.  I just got back from attending a conference in the Bahamas with my business and Andy Andrews was a speaker.  He is an amazing speaker, writer and person.  All those decisions are so vitality important to your success on every level.  Thank you for recognizing them and sharing them with this amazing community.  I love surrounding myself with those who are creating and making a difference in not only their own lives but all that they attract to themselves.


Thank you!

This was amazing, I really liked the ACTION part and  doing things NOW. I th ink so often in life many people believe that they can put things off until later- oh I'll take care of myself later, oh I'll find spirituality later, oh, I'll forgive so and so later- but we may or may not have a later- what we DO have is a NOW. And I think by taking actions we will increase our personalities and help others as well. This was great- ACTION. Being ACTIVE!
