“Whatever”

This morning I was on what I call “The Escalator” at the gym. It’s one of those stair climber things that totally kicks your butt. Literally. In order to make the time pass I have to either read or listen to something on my mp3 player. Lately I’ve been reading Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles.” It’s filled with gems that would have been nice to know a couple of years ago. If you are scratching your head about how things are going or not going in your business, run to the nearest bookstore and buy a copy. It’s paperback and won’t break your weekly coffee budget.

The passage I want to share today is about deciding what you want. For a long time I have wondered why making decisions is not cut and dry for me. This jumped out at me: If you are going to reown your power and get what you really want out of life, you will have to stop saying, “I don’t know; I don’t care; it doesn’t matter to me” – or the current favorite of teenages, “Whatever.” It goes on to say that we need to practice making every decision as if it matters. We deserve to have everything in our lives exactly the way we want it. Now I know that if I can really listen to myself I really do have strong opinions on things and can make amazing decisions. Not just on where to go on vacation, or what color to paint the kitchen, but on every direction in my life and business.

Just wanted to share that in case you haven’t been listening to YOURself, either! What have you been putting off deciding?
