There are three ways to improve your life and to succeed through better decision making: (1) Make decisions fast. (2) Change decisions slowly. (3) Let your decisions guide you to victory. I have made most of my major decisions in life super-quickly, and by and large, Im very pleased with them. For example, I saw a house that I thought was just perfect for me. It had Spanish features, occupied a corner lot in the foothills, and was a little bit off the beaten path. After seeing it the first time I decided when it comes onto the market, Im buying it; no matter how much it costs! Sure enough, one afternoon when I was driving, I noticed a for sale sign in front. I knew the realtor, and she worked closely with me, and one way or another I got it. Yes, I walked through the place, but so quickly, most people would be amazed. I just knew it was for me, and it made me very happy through the years. When the time came, I applied to only one law school; it was my first and only choice. As far as I was concerned, I was going there, and I did. The minute I walked into the martial arts dojo, I knew my goal was to reach Black Belt. It took eight years to earn, and many sacrifices, and I became only the 20th person to reach 1st Degree Black Belt in 32 years that the dojo has been training people. Once you have decided, you have committed, and when this occurs, youre already on your way to victory. So, make decisions quickly, change them slowly, and let them guide you to victory! |
