Deciding to be Decisive

There are many things percolating at the moment in my world.  I have realized this is a good thing.  After a long lapse posting to this blog, I happened to go back to read some of my former posts.  I realized that not only do I enjoy writing my random ideas, they are also fun and helpful for me to re-read in the future.  So this post is dedicated to all who may stumble upon my words and to my future self when I look back at insights that are helpful now and maybe helpful again in the future. 

My takeaways from re-reading are:

• Focus on the positive
• Let people you appreciate know they are appreciated regularly
• Note three things you appreciate each day
• Blog... just blog baby... it is worth it :)  

So on to the topic at hand.  Let's just sum up my last week with... it has been extremely emotionally volatile.  I was on the edge of the abyss, and it wasn't pretty.  I knew I was not going over, however in my despair I thought there was only one option to move away from it.  Well I was wrong.  As I frequently tell Jaguar there is usually more than one way to get to the same destination.  I was in a mindset that could only see one solution.  Fortunately the Universe worked with me and I had time to contemplate my options and came up with an alternative that is wiser, and still gives me the opportunity to reach the goal I am striving for.   In the process of contemplating the issues that sent me to the edge of the abyss (which since I am focusing on the positive I am not going to go into) I came to a very important realization, I am deciding to be decisive!  

I had always told myself I am indecisive and up to now I had frequently been indecisive.  While reflection on this, I recalled a similar issue I used to have with remembering people's names, I used to think I was bad remembering people's names.  And I was!  One day I realized I wanted to be good at remembering people's names.   I made a shift in my perception and decided to be good at remembering names.  Guess what, now I am good with people's names.  

So from today forward, I am decisive!  I am giving myself permission to consider an issue,  take in all the information I need to make a thoughtful and education decision.  Choose, accept, take action and move on.   I understand that some choices may merit more consideration time.  I am basically shifting my perception of myself to being decisive, just like I did with remembering names.  This is empowering.  Making decisions and moving forward will free up energy and focus for new and fresh opportunities that make life more fun, exciting and rewarding.  

Here is to the decisive future!
