1) "Decision is the ultimate power."
2) "The defining factor is never resources, it's resourcefulness." (sic)
3) "Decisions shape destiny."
Each of these caused me to do some introspection to figure out what my focus really is. Let me just share my thoughts on each one...a little thinking out loud, if you will.
1) "Decision is the ultimate power."
Okay. This may seem like an obvious statement and concept. Have you ever really internalized this statement though? Have you really considered what this means? At the most surface level, this statement implies that you, me, we have power. We ALL get to make decisions...all day, every day. In that respect we DO have power. If decision is the ULTIMATE POWER, then decision is the "greatest or most extreme" "ability to act or produce an effect" (Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, 2015). So this empowered me to reclaim the power over my decisions. I'll be more intentional in the decisions I make. For example, with my lunch hour I COULD be surfing the internet for stuff OR I could be sitting here working on my craft...writing. I've decided to write. With each good, productive decision I make, I'm feeling more and more content rather than haphazardly wasting this power and regretting my choices. Reclaim your power...start now!
2) "The defining factor is never resources, it's resourcefulness."
I'm paraphrasing, but Tony Robbins basically said that people often offer a lack of resources as the reason why they haven't done some 'thing'. I, now, subscribe to his premise that it's not resources that are the nail in the coffin for our ventures, but the resourcefulness or the creative prowess, if you will, of the one wanting to do the 'thing'. If we want something bad enough, we'll find a way to get it. We're only limited by our thoughts. Use EVERY thing that is available because there's always SOMETHING available, but we have to be creative in our thinking. I know that the right hemisphere of everyone's brain is not their dominant side, but I'm willing to bet that most "left brain" people know some "right brain" people that they could bring into the fold to present the possibilities that aren't considered by the "left brain" people. You know what I'm saying..us non creative minds have some creative minds in our circle! Use THEM! Aaaaahhhh, so resourcefulness IS the key. You see?
3) "Decisions shape destiny."
Three questions were asked in relation to this statement:
What are you going to focus on? Decide right now what you're going to focus on.
What does it mean? Establish the meaning. What emotion will you assign to it?
How will you act? Now that you know what it means, what will your actions be?
The questions aren't the EASIEST to answer, but they're worth the consideration. So, I've decided what I'm focusing on; financial freedom. I've established what that means; the ability to operate with limited restriction in that area AND the ability to help others attain financial freedom. The immediate actions I'm taking toward that thing I'm focusing on is reading as much literature on debt cancellation and finances as I can get my hands on/eyes on!
Anyway, I hope one of these nuggets is useful to you. If not, pick out your own nugget from the talk! Let me warn you, there are a few choice words in the video so if you're easily offended you may want to find something else to watch. Enjoy!
