<h1 style="text-align: center;">SUMMARY - Chapter 2 - Decisions the pathway to power</h1> <p> </p> <p>-“How am I going to live the next ten years of my life? How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I’m committed to? What am I going to stand for from now on?”<br />-Different actions produce different results. If we want to take control of our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions.<br /> -This begins with the power of DECISION.<br /> -“I believe that it’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped”.</p> <p><strong>-Commit to what you want to have and be in your life.</strong><br /> -Set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in your life (your own behavior’s and the behavior’s of those you surround yourself with).<br /> -Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.<br /> -Making a true decision means committing to achieving a result and then cutting yourself off from any other possibility.<br /> -A lot of people have weak decision making abilities. This is akin to having a weak muscle. To strengthen it, simply use it. The way to make better decisions is to make more of them. </p> <p><strong>-The three decisions that control your destiny:</strong><br /> 1. Your decisions about what to focus on.<br /> 2. Your decisions about what things mean to you.<br /> 3. Your decisions about what to do to create the results you desire.</p> <p>-“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor” Henry David Thoreau<br /> -Set a course for where you really want to go, and have a plan or map so you can make quality decisions along the way.</p> <p><strong>-Do not be afraid of making the wrong decisions.</strong><br /> -Success truly is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is often the result of bad judgment.<br /> -“I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward” Thomas Edison.<br /> -Commit to learning from your mistakes.</p> <p><strong>-There are no failures in life. Only results.</strong> If you didn’t get the results you wanted, learn from the experience so you have references about how to make better decisions in the future.<br />-There’s nothing you can’t accomplish if: 1) You clearly decide what it is that you’re absolutely committed to achieving, 2) You are willing to take massive action, 3) You notice what’s working or not, and 4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.<br />-Sometimes it may look like it’s not working out in the short term. In order to succeed, you must have a long term focus.<br /> -Often, what seems impossible in the short term becomes very possible in the long term, if you persist.<br /> <strong></strong></p> <p><strong>-Six keys:</strong><br /> 1. Remember the power of making decisions. A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken new action.<br /> 2. Realize the hardest step in achieving anything is making a true commitment- a true decision. Never leave the scene of a decision without first taking a specific action towards its realization.<br /> 3. Make decisions often. The more you make them the better you’ll get at it.<br /> 4. Learn from your decisions.<br /> 5. Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.<br /> 6. Enjoy making decisions.</p> <p><strong>-“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing” Helen Keller.</strong></p> <p><strong>-Exercise</strong><br /> -Make two decisions now<br /> -one that’s easy<br /> -one that’s a bit harder</p> <h1 style="text-align: center;"> </h1>
