Are you ready for change? Do you wish that you could change your life immediately? Well, I have great news....you can! It may sound too good to be true, but it's not. Just stick with me a moment and I will show you to change your life in a minute.
No matter what circumstances we face, we can change our lives instantaneously with one simple act - a decision!
The moment you make a decision, your life begins to move in a new direction. Let me give you an example, early in my marriage, my husband and I experienced major difficulties. We had the kind of problems that usually lead to divorce. Sometimes it was so bad that divorce seemed to be the only viable option. But we didn't want to be divorced! So we took divorce off the table as an option. In other words, we made a decision to stay married.
The power of making a decision to stay married changed the course of our lives because a true decision cuts off the other alternatives. When we decided to stay married, we cut off the possibility of divorce and opened ourselves to learn how to be happily married. As a result we are happily together ten years later.
You may thinking...well great for you, but how does that help me? I'm glad you asked. Pick one thing you want to change in your life. It may be losing weight, saving more money, getting a new job or ending a relationship that's headed no where. Now decide right now to do it! Don't worry about how hard it will be or how much time it will take....just decide that it's the only option for you.
If you made a decision, then you just exercised the ultimate power. You have taken control of your life and empowered yourself to change. You have closed the door to being overweight, struggling financially or continuing to work in your current job.
How will you know if you have truly made a decision? Cutting off other alternatives will force you to act. So start exercising, saving and looking for another job - call your signficant other and tell them it's over - you are moving on to better things. You have the power to change your life now use it!
See you next week~

I agree, I have the power to change my life, by making decisions(great).
I like this. It is important for us to realize that the decsions that we make are things that shape our lives. The one thing I can think about is that I had to make a couple of years ago was that I had to make a decision to be happy. Ihad to make a decision to cast out offense in my life. and before I knew it, sadness and offense wasn't a part of my life anymore.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I appreciate you being so transparent.
I know it's not always easy to put yourself out there for the whole world to see...but knowing that someone has gone through what I am currently experiencing and survived it helps me in my marriage, finances, and my efforts to lose weight!
Today, I choose to be excellent in all areas of my life! Thanks for the encouraging lesson on making good choices.
I look forward to next week's encouraging word!
