Decision. what is a decision anyway?
a determination arrived at after consideration
Hill Writes: "The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are, generally, easily influenced by the “opinions” of others. They permit the newspapers and the “gossiping” neighbors to do their “thinking” for them. “Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by “opinions” when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking, much less in that of transmuting YOUR OWN DESIRE into money."
My Mentor once taught me that what other people think about you is none of your business. What you think of your self matters. Peoples opinion of you is based on their life choices and decisions and often has not basis in your reality. if they think negtively of you, that;s really their problem and not your so don't let their opinion of you guide your life.
Here is a decision you might consider I will not let people's idea of who I am cause me to accept that as my reality. or I AM WHO 'I' Think I AM. It is so important that we never let what others think cause us to stop pushing forward to live our dreams
Hill Says, "If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no DESIRE of your own. Keep your own counsel, when you begin to put into practice the principles described here, by reaching your own decisions and following them. Take no one into your confidence, EXCEPT the members of your “Master Mind” group, and be very sure in your selection of this group, that you choose ONLY those who will be in COMPLETE SYMPATHY AND HARMONY WITH YOUR PURPOSE."
If they are not supportive of your desire to build a better life or when you have a plan to improve you financial standing DON"T LET THEM BE YOUR COUNCILOR! Give no wieght to their words in your life. If they are not make a whole lot of money than you and not living a better life then you, if you accept thier concil, you will go as far as they have. If they are not living where you want your life to be please feel free to ignore them.
"Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all through life, because some well-meaning, but ignorant person destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule.
You have a brain and mind of your own. USE IT, and reach your own decisions. If you need facts or information from other people, to enable you to reach decisions, as you probably will in many instances; acquire these facts or secure the information you need quietly, without disclosing your purpose".
Of all the people you need to be careful of taking advice from is family and friends, they mean well, but they come from negativity and if you desire to succeed, you don't need theior advice. one of the best things you can do is to keep your own council and seek out the information you need quietly and do not tell everyone what you are doing. Through the masterMinf Group I have learned to not reveal what I am doing so they cannot inject their thoughts into what I am or am desiring to do.
I hope this helps someone do better in life
Happy and Humble
