For the next 7 day’s I’m going to do something out of the norm for me. I don’t usually ‘re-use’ another persons work but sometimes we find jewels that are just too good not to share. I was recently given a book. In fact it was as recent as Thursday. Saturday night I finished this 207 page book. It’s a very easy read. Most importantly, a very engaging read. Even more importantly, if one will apply the principle’s of this book, it’s a life changing read. Within this book are 7 principle’s. To be more accurate in the description, they are actually 7 decisions. Decisions that if you will meditate upon and apply them, your life will change…..drastically. For the next 7 days I will reveal one decision daily. As you read the new decision, add it to the others. Each day meditate upon the decisions twice. Do this for 30 days and you will be well on your way to drastically enhancing and changing your life. After the first 7 days, I am going to give you some other applicable ways to apply these decisions to your everyday living. Receive the 7 principle decisions. Apply them. Finally, be creative in how you use them. Your life will be opened to a whole new realm of opportunity.
I invite you to share these 7 decisions with everyone you know, then share your experience with our growing online community. Lastly, I invite you to purchase a copy of the book we are highlighting, entitled ‘The Traveler’s Gift’ by Andy Andrews, by following the link at the end of each passage. And now for the first decision:
First- The buck stops here
From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past. I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing. I will look forward. The buck stops here. I accept responsibility for my past. I am responsible for my success. Today I will begin the process of changing where I am- mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially- by changing the way I think. My thoughts will be constructive. My mind will live in the solutions of the future. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. When faced with the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. When I make a decision, I will stand behind it. My energy will go into making the decision. My life will not be an apology. It will be a statement. The buck stops here. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. Challenges are gifts, opportunities to learn. In times of adversity, I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make the right choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept this preparation. Why me? Why not me! I will be prepared for something great. I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. I am responsible for my success. The buck stops here!
