3. If you’ve made a decision and someone is able to talk you out of it or change your decision, did you truly make that decision in the first place?

Last year at Success Intensive Malta, we did an open session and took questions.

 Here are the answers….

Question:

3. If you’ve made a decision and someone is able to talk you out of it or change your decision, did you truly make that decision in the first place?

Answer:

If you made a decision and then didn’t take action on it, you still made a decision,
 and then made a second decision not to take action on it.  If you allowed
someone to talk you out of your original decision then that’s a third decision you
made.

Please be careful not to confuse decisions with actions.  Taking action is a whole
other ball game.  Many people believe that all they have to do is wish for
something, or intend for it to be and not take any action towards it.
 
For example some people say “I want to remain healthy and strong my whole
life” So one could say they took a decision to be healthy and strong.  Yet they
party every night, smoke cigarettes and drink way too much alcohol.  Their
actions clearly define their true decision.

Another example: Someone says “I want to live an abundant and financially
secure life” Again they have made a decision yes?  Yet they do the same thing
they’ve always done. They spend the same amount of time doing the same
work. Never taking any chances and waiting for something… perhaps for
opportunities to find them. Meanwhile we all know that the opportunities are
busy finding the people that are actually out there acting on their desire to live an
abundant and financially secure life.

So saying you’re going to do something is in theory making a decision, but taking action
on that decision is when it is truly made.
