Day 331 of wisdom
“The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.”
Ben Stein
No journey ever starts until one decides to get to a place. The first step towards getting anywhere is to decide on where you want to get to, it is the ignition that starts the journey. Many people are been held down not by what they cannot do, or by what they did not have, most people are held down by their inability to decide what they actually want from life. Life does not give anyone anything unless he decides to get that thing. Whatever you have today is what you decided you wanted yesterday, consciously or unconsciously.
Until you choose what you want, you will always get what you don't want. Your indecision is a decision against you, your future, and your dreams. If you really want to become an achiever, you must decide what you want from life. The only person who will make a favourable decision for you is you, anybody else has not so much good for you. Markus Zusak once said, "I had to decide what I was going to do, and what I was going to be. I was standing there, waiting for someone to do something , till I realised the person I was waiting for was myself." until you decide, you will get nothing, and go nowhere.
Make the decision to follow your path, decide what you want from life, it is until then you can begin the journey to the future of your dreams. Things will not always go the way we want or expect it to go, life will not always be fun, but when life happens to you, what you take out of it is determined by your decision to either react or reflect. Your choices and decisions are the ultimate determinants of your destiny, life obeys and respect whatever decisions you make, as long as you are ready and willing to pay the price for its end result.
Theodore Roosevelt once said, "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing." Indecision is worst than the wrong decision, as much as we don't always want to make wrong decisions it is better to make a wrong decision and learn from it than to make no decision at all. We never know what decisions is right or wrong until we get the result of a decision after it has been made. So, decide today what you want from life, it is the first step towards getting that thing, but after deciding pursue with all your heart and might and success will follow you.
