Have you ever waited a long time to make a decision, hemming and hawing, waiting for:
- the perfect moment to come along, or
- until all your ducks are in a row (which will most likely never happen, btw), or
- until you get a sign from God or the Universe or whatever you believe in, or
- waiting until you have more money or lose some weight or some other circumstance, or
- waiting for the sake of waiting (otherwise known as procrastinating)?
Here's a quote from Deepak Chopra that I love:
“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.
The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.
If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.”
And, you know by NOT choosing, by not taking a step out in faith - THAT IS A CHOICE.
That choice is:
“I’m just gonna live in default mode until something happens that helps me choose”.
Not choosing - is choosing default mode.
"Decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction".... so when we don't make a decision, we just stay in default mode, and nothing moves. Ugh.
The best thing you can do for yourself and your life is to stop waiting and get off the fence.
You will be amazed what happens when you do.
Some of the best decisions I've made were the ones where I didn't think too much about anything, I just followed my heart and my gut and took action.
Someone asked me about the Home Business Academy the other day and my response was,
"Best decision I've ever made,"
And I really mean it.
It's funny because I joined late one night when I watched a video about it for the first time. I was half asleep and I didn't think about it at all, I just took action... and I've never looked back.
I found my true home on the internet, surrounded by some of the most integrious, inspiring, and supportive people I've ever met, and I increased my income significantly, all in the same instant when I made that decision.
As Deepak says, "The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision."
Your heart will never betray you, so don't be afraid to listen to it.
And life is too short to stay stagnant anyway. It's meant to be an adventure and a learning experience.
So what is going to take for you to finally make a choice and take action?
Maybe this will be the best decision you ever make, too.
Just know that, if you do, I'll be here cheering you on every step of the way.
And this works alongside any business you are already building, too. :)
I hope to see you inside of our community.
I love you,
Amy
