Decisions, Actions, and Behaviors
Our thoughts influence the decisions we make, actions we take, and behaviors we display.
We create the foundation for our future with the decisions we make and actions we take each and every day of our lives.
The people we are and the lives we live are determined by the decisions we make at key times throughout our lives.
There are times in our lives we are faced with making very difficult decisions.
The greater the difficulty, the greater the potential impact our decisions can have on us and those closest to us.
We must do our best to make decisions that we can be proud of regardless of who knows about them and ones that align with our character.
The most important decisions we have in life are often the hardest ones to make.
Emotion can be a strength or weakness. You have to know when it’s needed and when to remove it in order to make the right decision for you.
When we consider the possible repercussions of our decisions before making them we increase our chances of making the best ones possible.
If you’re self-aware and do your best to be disciplined when making decisions you are much happier with the results.
Knowing we have done everything we could about a situation makes it easier to sleep at night than when we feel we should have done more.
Making the choice to be solution focused instead of problem focused is almost always better.
In order to improve at something we must be able to identify the improvements we want to make, create a plan to do so, and take action.
Before you can complete any task whether small or large you must first get started.
To accomplish everything we hope to in life we can’t wait for the perfect time to take action. We have to start right where we are now.
We are able to make the biggest difference where we are, not where we’ve been or where we are going.
Life is meant to be lived, not observed from afar.
Day dreaming is getting a glimpse of our future possibilities. They will only come true if we are willing to take action though.
The best way to have the future that we want is to create it.
There is a time to think and a time to act. We have the challenge of trying to figure out which time it is in the moment.
I think it is better to do what we believe is the right thing to do and be wrong than to do nothing for fear of making a mistake.
The things we are the most passionate about tend to take hold of our thoughts and influence the decisions we make and actions we take.
Some of our greatest ideas come when we least expect them and we don’t always act on them.
Many of our ideas have the potential to help us create the lives we want. We just have to act on them.
To become the person we dream of being we have to be willing to take risks and act on what we think are great ideas when they come to us.
Knowledge and experience are both valuable. However they will only take us so far without discipline and commitment.
There is a big difference between knowing what we need to do and having the courage and discipline to do it.
In order to perform at our best we must bring our best to every situation.
If doing something is the right thing to do then it is always the right thing to do, regardless of who sees it getting done.
The easiest path is rarely the best one to take.
Things that come too easy are not always fully appreciated or appropriately valued.
Taking shortcuts when performing a task rarely produces the results we are hoping for. Especially when quality is important.
Take advantage of the slow and quiet times to prepare for when things are happening at a much faster and busier pace.
When you show up is important, but not as important as how you show up.
It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters where you finish.
We tell people who we are and what we care about the most by the decisions we make, actions we take, and the behaviors we display.
