You have the ultimate power

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~
