Decision Making - 3 Observations About Making Decisions and Personal Success By Andy Hall

People struggle with decision making for a variety of reasons.

I hope to reveal insight on 3 of the reasons I have observed in my own personal journey.

1. Fear of Making a Bad Decision

This is probably the most difficult decision making obstacle. When we make a “bad” decision, we often feel like we have failed in some way, that we have not lived up to our own expectations in regard to our personal success.

What you must understand, however, is that no success comes without failure. No one has ever achieved personal success without failing at some point.

What you must learn to do is this: Embrace the results of your decisions whether good or bad. Either way you have something to learn from the experience and move forward. So rather than be fearful of making decisions, look for opportunities to make even more decisions. Over time you will develop, through experience, the ability to make better and more confident decisions.

2. Procrastination

Often times, people avoid making a decision altogether simply because they wish to avoid the action required of the decision.

An example could be someone who says “I’d like to lose 10-15 pounds,” but then never follows through, because the action required would involve diet and exercise.

Or a person who says “I’d like to make more money this year,” but doesn’t ever seem to get around to it because they “don’t have the time,” when in reality they don’t want to “sacrifice” the time they spend doing other things.

Procrastination is simply making a decision to stay where you are, to accept the status quo, and do nothing about your personal, spiritual, or financial situation.

3. Thinking That a Choice Doesn’t Exist

It’s easy to be fooled into thinking that there is no decision to be made.

I see people every day go to a job they hate because they don’t think any other options exist for them. Yet our possibilities are nearly endless.

Don’t like your job? Then do something else!

Don’t like where you live? Move somewhere else!

The point is, you always have a choice about your life. Most people are “satisfied” with living within the boundaries of society’s expectations, rather than living according to their own expectations.

I encourage you to make more decisions, commit to performing the actions required by those decisions, and remain conscious of your ability to change anything in your life with each decision you make.

Overcome Your Blocks to More Success By Judith K Sherven

When you think of people who are living a fabulous life who comes to mind? Bill Gates? Meryl Streep? Some prince, princess, or high dignitary? Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and he is deeply involved in helping people around the world. That’s not only fabulous, that’s almost fabled.

But if you knew someone who was going about their life without fame, wealth, and public adulation, would you say that that person is living a fabulous life? For most people the answer would be “No.”

And that makes the lives of 99%-plus of the people alive at any time unfabulous. Are fame, wealth, and public adulation the only criteria for a fabulous life?

We think not.

What about:

** Being true to your deepest desire.
** Standing apart from the crowd. .
** Putting yourself on the line, which means you take big risks.
** Speaking your truth.

Anyone who can live according to those standards is truly living a fabulous life.

But we all know that, no matter our intentions, most people (including those who are successful) are confronted, almost daily, with obstacles to their own fulfillment.

Yes, there are external obstacles. But the obstacles that really matter, that are actually far more powerful, are the unconscious blocks and resistances that dictate what you can and cannot do and who you can be - no matter what you tell yourself consciously.

Those unconscious limits take many forms and dictate what you have internal permission to pursue and what is forbidden to you.

But there is one limit-maker that applies to everyone, no matter their status in the world, which can seriously prevent you from living your fabulous life. And that is your willingness and capacity, or not, to advance beyond your station..

By “station” we mean the extent to which you can envision yourself out in the world. Because when that vision is limited, then to that extent you impose your own restrictions on how far you can go toward self-discovery, self-acknowledgment, self-expression, and self-satisfaction.
You are not divine but human. You are not infinite nor eternal. So there will always be some measure of limitation to which you can envision yourself out in the world.

And, right now, what’s the extent to which your vision propels you forward toward a larger life? And, how is your vision currently limiting the way you are presently living?

To live a fabulous life is to step out beyond the extent to which you can envision yourself at any moment. Because when you do, you are in a moment of discovery, of daring, of hearty imagination as you realize and bring to life the rich gifts that exist within you.

No, you don’t have to be fabled to be fabulous. But you do have to be willing to step out. And step out again, and again. When you do, a truly fabulous life awaits you.

To help you overcome the unconscious blocks that have been holding you back, take advantage of these 7 tipshttp://www.fearofbeingfabulous.com

Judith Sherven (along with her husband) is a best-selling author of 5 book, clinical psychologist, and the creator of “Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous” and related programs.

How to Create a Success Team For Your Life By Laura C. Ege

I’ve heard it said that we are the composite of the five people we spend the most time with. There is probably some truth in that idea. The people in our inner circle have tremendous influence in our lives, whether we like it that way or not.

How many times have you excitedly shared an idea or dream or activity with someone only to be laughed at, ignored, trivialized, or told all the reasons it wasn’t going to work? Maybe this doesn’t bother you, but if you’re like most of us, this kind of negativity wears you down. Before you know it, the idea or dream slips away, the life in it painfully snuffed out. Your life floats away on the whims of the people in your life, keeping you stuck in the status quo or trapped in circumstances.

Trust me, embarking on a life adventure is tough enough without being surrounded by people who drag you down. You need people who see the best in you and believe the best of you always. You need people who can hold the vision for you when you’re losing your way in the midst of life’s frustrations. You need people who bring out the best in you and encourage you always to reach just a little higher and farther with your dreams.

The good news is this can be an intentional strategy for success in your life. You can handpick your inner team and purposefully design an alliance with each of these people that will radically support you in following your dreams.

Here are some things to consider as you begin to look at creating a success team for your life:
Purpose: What do you need from your success team? Are they advisors, coaches, cheerleaders, or partners in your adventure? Do they help you refine your vision and create an action plan? Do they keep you on track with your plan? Do they bring unique skills to the table that fit well as actual partners in your mission?

Qualities: What traits do you want the people on your team to possess? Do they have certain personality traits? Are they men? Women? Both? Do they bring specific experience, education, or skill sets?

Structure: Do you want to meet together as a team or with each person individually? How often will you meet? By phone or in-person or online? Will you meet for a set length of time (like six months) or is it open-ended?

Now you may be thinking, “oh, I could never ask anyone to do something like this!” Maybe it seems selfish or like an imposition. Newsflash…people (especially people who love and believe in you) really do want to help! Think of someone you really care about. Don’t you want to see them reach their dreams, and wouldn’t it be an honor if they asked you to help them get there? Give these people in your life the same chance.

Identify those people who will help you get where you want to go…whether as advisors, partners, or cheerleaders in the journey. Clarify how you would like to be supported by each person. You might also want to consider how you can give back to these people. And then design an alliance with each one that addresses what you both need from the relationship. Don’t be afraid to redesign the alliance as you go too if something isn’t fitting quite right for either of you.

Once you have your success team in place, cherish these people, respect them, lean into them, and grow with them. Your success could well depend on it!
