The Third Decision

I am a person of action.
Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit
of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past. My future
is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet. When I am faced with the choice
of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act! I seize this moment. I choose now. I
am a person of action. I am energetic. I move quickly.
Knowing that laziness is a sin, I will create a habit of lively behavior. I will walk with a spring in
my step and a smile on my face. The lifeblood rushing through my veins is urging me upward and
forward into activity and accomplishment. Wealth and prosperity hide from the sluggard, but rich
rewards come to the person who moves quickly.
I am a person of action. I inspire others with my activity. I am a leader.
Leading is doing. To lead, I must move forw ard. M any people move out of the w ay for a person
on the run; others are caught up in his wake. My activity will create a wave of success for the people
who follow. My activity will be consistent. This will instill confidence in my leadership. As a leader, I
have the ability to encourage and inspire others to greatness. It is true: an army of sheep led by a lion
would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep!
I am a person of action. I can make a decision. I can make it now.
A person who moves neither left nor right is destined for mediocrity. When faced with a decision,
many people say they are waiting for God. But I understand, in most cases, God is waiting for me! He
has given me a healthy mind to gather and sort information and the courage to come to a conclusion. I
am not a quivering dog, indecisive and fearful. My constitution is strong and my pathway clear.
Successful people m ake their decisions quickly and change their m inds slow ly. Failures m ake their
decisions slowly and change their minds quickly. My decisions come quickly, and they lead to victory.
I am a person of action. I am daring. I am courageous.
Fear no longer has a place in my life. For too long, fear has outw eighed my desire to m ake things
better for my family. Never again! I have exposed fear as a vapor, an impostor that never had any power
over me in the first place! I do not fear opinion, gossip, or the idle chatter of monkeys, for all are the
same to me. I do not fear failure, for in my life, failure is a myth. Failure exists only for the person who
quits. I do not quit.
I am courageous. I am a leader. I seize this moment. I choose now.
I am a person of action.
