Good Decisions Take Thought

Motivational Power Quote

Good Decisions Take Thought

“Just because we increase the

speed of information

doesn’t mean we can increase

the speed of decisions.

Pondering, reflecting and ruminating

are undervalued skills in our culture.”

Dale Dauten, author, speaker

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Good decisions take thought


Information has increase to lighting speed, and we are asked to make more and faster decisions. No matter how much pressure is put on us to make a decision, we still have to do our best to make a good decision.


At times we can make good decision in what appears to be a matter of seconds and at other times it will take deeper thought to make a good decision.


Our minds and our decision making process moves at a different pace for each of us. No matter what or thought process is, we have to think through our decisions to make a good decision.


Making a quick decision without much thought can lead to a poor decision and undesired results. Once those decisions have be made they can move us in the wrong direction and the course correction that will be required to get us back on track and be very painful.


Making a quick decision with that thought out gets us on the right course and moves us closer to our objectives.


The time that you invest in your decision making today will set the course for your future your. It will give you the direction that will save your time and energy in the future.


Good decisions takes thought and your decisions create you future.

Decide to Act and Not React

“The possibilities are numerous

Once we decide to act and not react.”

George Bernard Shaw, Playwright

As I see it . . . . . . .


Decide to act and not react


Our future is a blank canvass that only you can paint.


To paint the canvass with our future we have to a vision for what we want our future be. We then will have to act on our vision to make it become what we believe it can be.


There are only two ways that the canvass of our life can be painted. We can take control of our life and act on determining our future and to start to paint our canvass as we want to see that future. Or we can decide to live a reactive life and have someone else paint the canvass of our life for us, as they see out life.


The choice is simple to act to control our future or to reactive and have someone else decide our life for us.


Create a grand vision for your life and act on your vision of what you want your life to be.


See your life as a blank canvass and use your imagination to paint your future. Remember it’s your bush, your canvass and your life and it can be anything that you want it to be.

Raising the Bar of Expectations

“Achievement is largely the product

of steadily raising one’s level.”

Jack Nicklaus, professional golfer

Motivational Power Quote

Teach the Person How to Think

“Teach the young people

how to think,

not what to think.”

Sidney Sugarman, Federal Judge

As I see it. . . . . . . .


There power is in teaching the person how to think . . . . not what to think.


Telling the person what to think prevents the persons mind from becoming creative. It will hinder their self-confidence and personal growth. More importantly, it prevents the person from fully developing their thinking and decision making capacity.


Teaching a person how to think creates personal power and self-confidence. They believe that they can think their way through any situation and make good decisions. They will challenge themselves to think out of the box and to make the tough decisions.


The person, who believes in their thinking, believes in themselves and that confidence shows.


Teach the person how to think creates an awaking in the person and opens their life to a new world of opportunities.

An Unbeatable Combination for Success

“Patience, persistence and perspiration

make an unbeatable combination for success.”

Napoleon Hill, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .


An unbeatable combination for success


Success is not an event; success is the result of a consistent and focused effort in the direction of our objectives.


To achieve our objectives we have to know what we want to achieve, how we are going to achieve them and the price that we’re willing to pay to achieve the desired results. Once our objectives are clear in our mind, reduce your objectives into writing and create your goals for your success journey.


Written goals give you a measureable path to follow on your success journey. Your goals will give you clearly marked directional signs to keep you on track and your action plan will keep you on purpose.


Have patience in your success journey as success is not an overnight endeavor anything worth while has an element of time and effort to achieve the desired results.


Our success journey will require persistence. Our path to success takes on many dimensions. At time we’ll be traveling on expressway and at others time we be blogged down on a muddy road where it seems that we are not making any progress.


When we get bogged down we have to remain focused on our goals and remain persistence in achieving them.


Anything worth while is worth working for working for. At times we will have to work smarter to achieve the results and at other times we will have to roll up our sleeves and work hard. At times we will find that perspiration may be just what’s needed to put us over the top.


An unbeatable combination for success is; success is not an event and there is no one single event or effort that makes a person a success. It’s a combination of consistent and focused effort in the direction of our goals that creates success.
