I believe that personal development to the core is about one single act. The act of making a decision.

Whatever it is you want in life, make a non-reversible decision. For your inner mind, carve it into stone. Make it solid and real. Then let your journey begin, no turning back.

Personal development is mostly decision making and following through. I call this Action. But you must also be able to gauge what you can and cannot do, and what actions would be the most efficacious. I call this Truth.

Truth without Action is wasted. Action without Truth is disastrous.

Once a girl wrote, "It's not all about this and this and that, but it's all about this or this or that!"

What I advocate in my presentations is that making decisions casually is one thing but making totally committed decisions is another level altogether!

Clint Cora: I believe you are right.

When I make a "totally comitted decision" my perception changes. It is as if the background noice of everyday life gets less intrusive. As if formerly percieved "big" problems become small.
