Decisiveness is the clear action upon which a person actively pursues a course without too much delay or excessive considerations. However, there is a distinct difference between being decisive and being careless; the decisive action being very clear and organized, with meaning and care versus not taking the moment to be organized before acting in terms of carelessness. This means that although the person must make a firm decision quickly, a full stock of the circumstances should be known first as well. If you are uninformed or do not know something, a decisive action could become careless very quickly and worsen a situation instead of providing strong solutions. At this point, if the decision is in action, but during the process is determined to be incorrect from the original plan; the plan may be changed, thusly corrected and still not considered indecisive because an action had already taken place.
Knowing these points are very important in life because strong leaders take strong actions! Decisions can be made quickly and followed through on, even if it may take a lifetime as many mistakes are corrected throughout life and to be considered only at a conclusion by the person in action. Included too, but not inclusively, mistakes are part of strong decisions, not every action is going to result in immediate success; such is the path of the decisive. However, these mistakes are not the end, they are new opportunities to gauge the situation, correct the error, learn and create a stronger framework from which to build up. Reminiscent to the scaffold, each mistake may be likened to floors built upward to success. On each floor, it may seem to be found a conclusion, only to realize the top floor or roof has yet to be reached and thus more is learned and applied to each successive floor upon the travel up with the building of the scaffold along the way. Likened this way, the mind has more opportunity to grow, as you nourish your thoughts by planting new information to grow into inspirations to be reaped as successes upon completions.
Stop here for a moment and consider how you also just thought about the prior statements? Did you acknowledge them in a positive light and think, I could apply this to achieve more! Or were you more of a pessimist that thought, no, once I’ve failed the event must be over as I’ve passed the horizon into unfavorable darkness away from the light of new ideas? Both are viable, and one version of thinking is certainly more desirable. The positive mind breeds positive results, accepts information, learning to adapt or apply and driving the decision maker in very decisive format directly away from failure or poverty. Such is the power of thought, thought that only you do control. As the decision maker, we make millions, even trillions of decisive thought actions in our lives, how we view situations and how we grow or adapt from them. As no other entity controls the mind other than the person encapsulated by it, if we design or reactions to events to breed positivity; when faced with a difficult decision we are more likely to fend off off-putting possibilities’ for the more lucrative. This is tern, is the way of the decisive person and the way of success even in the face of adversity because no event, once the mind is properly trained, will sour the soul to giving up.
Giving up. The pinnacle of failure and the end of decisiveness. Never give up! Wait though, give up on what? This is the last principal of the decisive person, deciding upon which to follow through on. In that moment of decision, infinite paths may be followed but there is only one path to which the positive mind may hold true on. That path is simply, the path you chose! How does this tie in to decisiveness? With ACTION! Action is the key principal that holds the process intact like the hidden lock grooves of the master carpenter. You’ve controlled the mind to see the prosperity in a possible decision, positively made the move to act on your decisive nature, nurturing the growth of the mind in the process and finally must act on all the circumstances that may follow. However, if failure arrives, you must not quit, you must continue to take action, again and again and again because it’s this habit that allows the rest to function. If you quit, you’ve made a final decision, the conclusion to an event or string of decisions and found the roof to your building. Now is your roof leaking or is it tight? Consider this in conclusion, sometimes the quitter is also correct, it can be the most decisive act of all because how does one build a first floor on top of the roof completed? Is that necessary? Or have you taken everything from your first decision necessary to now know what its course of nature was meant for you. Should that be so, maybe quitting your adventure here is necessary, to start building a new, growing and most definitely sharing what you learned upon arrival of this new course upon which others may sail with you.
