The DecisionDon't believe the lie.Change does not take 14 days, 21 days, or 60 days.And it does not take 10,000 hours as suggested in the book 'Outliers'.Change happens with a decision.Buckminister Fuller was looking at ending it all when he made a decision.Og Mandino wanted to put a gun to his head when he made a decision.Viktor Frankl was in a Nazi Concentration camp when he made a decision.Change happens with a decision.I remember starting in advertising, and the pressure being immense.One night, I reached the point of breaking down.I could not take it anymore.I was weeping with the stress.But I said to myself,"I don't care what it takes. I am going to continue doing what it takes, even if it seems impossible, and even if it kills me."Something changed in an instant.Peace flooded my being.I woke up refreshed, charged up.And surprised.That's when I realised that deep within each and every one of us, God has deposited the potential for greatness.Your background does not matter.Your education does not matter.Your financial status does not matter.What matters is, "Are you ready to make the decision to change?"If you are, this potential that God has deposited in your subconscious will activate, and you will do things that can only be termed superhuman.Because within you is the power to change the world.All you need to do is make a decision.Mahatma Gandhi was forced out of a train he had every right to be on.That was when he made a decision.That decision influenced millions of lives.And changed the world as we knew it.Nelson Mandela was in prison for years.He decided not to hate but build bridges instead.That decision influenced a nation.And changed the world as we knew it.Saint Teresa of Kolkata saw the poor through the eyes of compassion.She made the decision to do whatever she could for them.That decision has touched millions.And changed the world as we know it.Are you ready to make that decision?I've talked to a lot of people.They talk about change but don't really want to.They play what Transactional Analysts call the "Yes, but" game."Yes, but I'm too young,""Yes, but I'm too old.""Yes, but I don't have the time.""Yes, but I don't have the skills.""Yes, but I just don't have it in me anymore." "Yes, but I don't have the funds."Lies. Lies. Lies.If you want something, you'll find a way.
