 I once told you the story of a man who was walking by a house one day. He saw an old man sitting on his porch and a dog beside him. The dog was howling and wriggling in pain. The man stopped and asked the old man, why is the dog howling so? The old man replied, he is sitting on a nail. Why doesn't he just stand up from there? The man said, because it's not yet painful enough. Replied the old man, I know a lot of young people want their lives to change, but wishing for your life to change and choosing to make the decision to change your life are two different things. Until you come to a point where you choose to decide that, no, this will no longer continue and you put measures in place to ensure you change, nothing changes. Every life of success begins with a big decision, a decision to create a bad habit, a decision to take a step of faith into some business, a decision to start doing something. But this decision, nothing changes. I know finding the motivation to make this decision might be a bit tough. Learning from those who have succeeded in making decisions that changed their lives and standing by them is a serious way to build tenacity in making decisions. Below, I have collated the words of people who have succeeded in making decisions that changed their life.
