Make Your Decisions Quickly

- By : Reggie Odom -

How quickly do you make decisions? How do you make them?

We have the opportunity to make hundreds of decisions every day. Decisiveness or lack of it impacts the success of every area of your life - your business, relationships, creativity, health and finances.

Leaders in life and successful business leaders make decisions quickly. Decisiveness is a key factor in success and leadership.

In most cases we know the right course immediately for any decision we are faced with. It is universal law that the right decision is present at the moment the opportunity for the decision arises. Thanks to an exquisite internal guidance system we simply know the right one if we are tuned in.

That moment of knowing is a window of enormous opportunity. It is filled with clarity, power, certainty, transformation... These things become ours for the deciding.

A decision ignites the forces of heaven to come to the fore on our behalf in carrying out the decision. It brings us into alignment with these forces, taps us into our inner resourcefulness and increases our confidence.

A real decision closes off all options besides itself. There are no loopholes, what ifs or back doors. It is a one-pointed focus. Here lies its power.

If you hesitate in that moment of knowing, a great opportunity is lost. Considerations rush in to fill the space. The internal debating committee rises up out of the dust and the mind noise begins. Ambivalence takes the reins and energy is depleted. Self doubt and uncertainty become ready companions.

There is a quote that speaks perfectly to this. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The house is your mind. If it is in opposition to itself, its strength and power is lost. It is at the mercy of circumstances rather than the master of them.

Important decisions that need or want to be made cannot be overlooked. They make their way into the nooks and crannies of your life. They will distract you from whatever you have placed in front of them.

What are important decisions you haven't made that distract you on a regular basis? Imagine what you might accomplish in your life and work by being decisive. How life could be with the clear mind that comes from this way of being.

Will you make one of those decisions now? Which one?

Make it a habit to make decisions quickly. Practice making decisions in the moment, real decisions. At the moment the opportunity to make a decision is presented, check in with your internal guidance system, follow its truth and make the decision quickly.

Igniting Your Fire of Creative Genius

- By : Lance Winslow -

There is a creative genius in every one of us, just as Michelangelo said there is a work of art inside every stone, and his job was to free it. Well it's your life, and your mind, and it's time that you ignite your fire and free your creative genius. It's time that you open your mind and use your childlike imagination. It's time for you to think both logically and creatively, and not one or the other.

It's amazing what both hemispheres of the mind can do when they work together. One side has unbelievable amounts of information stored, which is linked to all the logical, strategic, and decision-making tools. The other side has the ability to take all that information and make it into something beautiful and wonderful. Creative problem solving is one of the biggest gifts to the intuitive mind.

Far too often, people fail to use their imagination, and develop their creative genius, and they go through life just acting upon stimulus. They go to their 9-to-5 job, they come home and watch TV, they make dinner and they go to sleep, then they get up and they do it over and over again, each and every day. Their minds become numb and the television set lights them up for 30 minutes and then drops them off, but they become addicted to the sights and sounds, the chaos and controversy, and the noise and fury, signifying nothingness.

This is not what your life was intended, this is not what you are about, this is not why you have such a powerful and creative mind. But just like a muscle; "you either use it or lose it." Isn't it time that you started using your creative genius? Why not start today? Please consider this, it's time to wake up.

How Old is Your Comfort Zone? The Older the Better!

-By : Gina Bell-

One of my favorite coaching analogies is to compare our comfort zone to the age rings found on a cross section of tree trunk.

Every time we stretch our comfort zone it's like we have a new "age ring"... a new level of awareness; greater self-esteem; more confidence, more wisdom from each experience; we become better at making decisions that support our success and we're open to new opportunities (often ones that were always there we just couldn't see them yet!)

With each new level of awareness, we are faced with new obstacles. For example, limiting beliefs that were once invisible to us rise to the surface.

This can be good or bad depending on our ability to identify them quickly and regain momentum in spite of them. This is a skill that is essential for long term success.

So, how do you identify limiting beliefs?

The best strategy I've found is to create "CONTRAST".

First, you have to be crystal clear about your definition of success. This gets your inner voice chattering and providing commentary that becomes the contrast you need to weed out your limiting beliefs.

Next, you have to pay close attention to your self-talk, best known as your inner critic (statistics say 80% of our self-talk is negative - yikes!). The self-talk and mind commentary leaves clues to our belief systems.

Finally, you have to choose which beliefs you'll keep and which ones you'll let go. Yup, I said "choose". We can choose our beliefs. If a belief doesn't support your success... let it go or replace it with one that does.

Your beliefs determine your thoughts, dictate your habits and influence your decisions. Does your belief system support your success or could there be some invisible saboteurs lurking?

Consider these two questions to test if limiting beliefs may be keeping you stuck.

1. Are you NOT doing things that you know you should be doing to support your success and are frustrated to feel stuck this way?

2. Are you doing things you know you shouldn't be doing that sabotage your success and wonder why you keep doing them?

If limiting beliefs and negative self-talk are keeping you stuck or derailing your momentum, stay tuned for my next Believability Makeover Program... coming soon!
