Jim Rohn: now some decisions are incidental and some are small and some you know are
part of a working day but sometimes decision-making can be one of the most
important days of your life may be a decision you have postponed and
postponed and now you understand the penalty of postponing that decision
you've got to do something and finally you come to the conclusion today is the
day I now decide and whether you decide on a new direction whether you decide on
a refinement in philosophy whether you decide to act when before you haven't
acted you decide on a on a series of things that you're going to do you
decide deciding can be such an incredibly important very exciting
inspirational day also deciding sometimes starts the process of lifting
our self-esteem sometimes when you look back on it the day that you decided was
just about as exciting as the day when you finally accomplished the project
that when you finally made the decision you finally got the monkey off your back
as we say in English you finally know got through whatever barriers kept you
from making that decision and finally you made a decision and now it seems
like the sky is blue and the air is clear and your mind is ready and you
know the adrenaline starts to flow things start to happen to you from that
moment of decision so that can be an incredible source of inspiration now if
you don't follow through it's not gonna last all that long if you decide and
then you know postpone and and you decide and but you don't still don't get
to it for a week or a month or a year you know soon all that energy and that
source of inspiration is all dissipated so deciding is inspiring but but not for
that long but once you decide it can be a very powerful day but now of course
you now you must follow through but if there's some things you've been
postponing some decisions you have just you know
haven't gotten to I would ask you to just you know take out your journal and
just go through you know what have I been postponing it's not gonna be better
for my health it's not gonna be better for my future it's not going to enhance
my finances maybe a problem needs to be solved I got to decide when I'm gonna do
it and and how I'm gonna proceed I need to get to it I promise you if you'll go
through some of that list and start making those decisions your inspiration
will start to flow and those could be very critically important exciting days
indecision is the thief of opportunity indecision means the door is still
closed indecision means the opportunity waits
indecision means what could be is postponed or may never be you know that
those are all the penalties of indecision and sometimes we can't make a
snap judgment we can't decide immediately on something so important
but after a while after a while we must understand sometimes they have a penalty
of putting off our our decision-making so one source of inspiration deciding
here's the next one planning now that you've decided and
you've started you start making plans it's in incredible what can happen as a
source of inspiration when finally what's in your head what's in your
imagination now finally starts to take shape on paper when I first heard about
network marketing I was 25 years old and I heard some of the testimonials and I
heard that people have gotten rich and I've heard that it's changed people's
lives and I've heard that you could start with nothing and become something
but let me tell you what was exciting when I finally made the decision yes I
was going to be part of the industry yes I was gonna make it part of my marketing
future what was really exciting was when I sat
down and started making plans I started committing the imagination and
belief to paper I started writing it down
I started started as we often do drawing those circles you know what if I had
five what if I had ten and then when I had a concept of what that could bring
for me then I said how can I reach the first five how can I reach the first ten
what could I do starting to make those plans I'm telling
you I remember those days as if they were yesterday they were so exciting I
had a concept of what I wanted I had a dream of what could happen for me if it
could happen for others maybe it could happen for me but when I started putting
it on paper and started making the plans that was an incredible source of
inspiration for me because the plans seemed to now start making it real that
what I had thought about what I dreamed about now I'm actually getting to it by
making a plan however you can make all the plans in the world and it is a
source of inspiration for only so long and you can make one plan and then you
can make another plan and you can make some plans today and the next day you
can make some more plans in the next day you can make some more plans and it is a
very exciting source of inspiration but only for a while I'm sure we would all
agree that making plans that inspiration wouldn't last for a week now that
inspiration now must drive you to do number three the first source of
inspiration is deciding second source of inspiration is planning
and now here's a big source of inspiration beginning getting started
actually turning thought and the notes on the paper the plans actually now
committing it to action getting started and beginning can be an incredible
source of inspiration guess what you can say when you begin a change in your diet
when you begin to take the Herbalife products guess what you can say I'm on a
new track I have carved out for myself a new beginning I'm on my way to the
most incredible health I will never be the same again
I'm leaving the old undisciplined part of me I'm leaving that behind I'm a new
person I'm taking my first shake I'm swallowing the first tablets I made my
first you know walk around the block that I thought about for slow long and
never did I finally did it today I've started I have begun that is
an incredible source of inspiration and that is to start to begin you cannot
believe what can happen to your self-esteem and many of you have already
experienced it I'm just asking you to begin something new in all the areas of
your life maybe you've always thought about benevolence and you just haven't
gotten started or you haven't made the plans or you haven't made the decision
I'm asking you to start taking that stuff now that's in your head that
imagination which is very powerful and it's a great source of inspiration in
itself but then I'm asking you then to decide
use that inspiration then I'm asking you to make plans begin to make plans use
that inspiration and then if you take that first step it can be the first step
of an incredible journey and when Mark had his first meeting when
mark recruited his first distributor when mark got his first customer his
grandmother using the product when Mark got that first few yeses from people and
he started the process as simple as it was you know from the trunk of his car
you know as crude as the literature wasn't the beginning it was a start and
so beginning can be an incredible source of inspiration and beginning can be many
things a beginning a new commitment to learning you say I'm gonna have a
library second to none and I bought the first book of my new library today I'm
gonna be surrounded by information and inspiration
the cassette tapes and the videos and the books I'm gonna have a library
second to none I've thought about it it wouldn't it be wonderful and you know
I've started making plans you know I've provided some space in my room for my
expanded library but here's what's exciting I got the first book today I've
gotten started this is just the first of many many books this is the first of a
whole flow of information for me this is the first time you want to learn a new
skill and you sign up for a class let's say you want to learn accounting or
something in you you sign up for the class and you take the first class you
get started you'd thought about it you made some plans for it you made some
time for it but there's nothing like sitting there in the class with the pin
in your hand and the pad ready to take notes Here I am I'm starting on a new
journey of learning but the real question is if we fight what's happened
we've got a problem we can decide what are we gonna do with what's happening in
our life how are we gonna take this how are we gonna Mull this how we're gonna
turn our life around because when you come up with a new meaning get a new
life so what are we gonna do in this session in this session we're gonna take
a look at something from a different perspective we're gonna ask you this
question what is the single force that controls the quality of your life
if there was one gift our Creator has given us or the universe whatever you
believe what is it
