THE CERTAIN DECISION

I have a decided heart.

A wise man once said, “A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.”

Knowing this to be true, I am taking my first step today.
For too long my feet have been tentative, shuffling left and right,
more backward than forward as my heart gauged
the direction of the wind.

Criticism, condemnation, and complaint are creatures of the wind.
They come and go on the wasted breath of lesser beings
and have no power over me. The power to control direction
belongs to me.
Today I will begin to exercise that power.
My course has been charted. My destiny is assured.

I have a decided heart.
I am passionate about my vision for the future.
I will awaken every morning with an excitement about
the new day and its opportunity for growth and change.

My thoughts and actions will work in a forward motion,
never sliding into the dark forest of doubt
or the muddy quicksand of self-pity.

I will freely give my vision for the future to others,
and as they see the belief in my eyes, they will follow me.
I will lay my head on my pillow at night happily exhausted,
knowing that I have done everything within
my power to move the mountains in my path.
As I sleep, the same dream that dominates
my waking hours will be with me in the dark.

Yes, I have a dream. It is a great dream,
and I will never apologize for it. Neither will I ever
let it go, for if I did, my life would be finished.
My hopes, my passions, my vision for the future
is my very existence. A person without a dream
never had a dream come true.

I have a decided heart. I will not wait.

I know that the purpose of analysis is to come to a conclusion.
I have tested the angles. I have measured the probabilities.
And now I have made a decision with my heart.

I am not timid. I will move now and not look back.
What I put off until tomorrow, I will put off until the next day
as well. I do not procrastinate. All my problems become smaller
when I confront them. If I touch a thistle with caution,
it will prick me, but if I grasp it boldly,
its spines crumble into dust.

I will not wait. I am passionate about my vision for the future.
My course has been charted. My destiny is assured.

I have a decided heart.

I am a person of action.
