Decide and Succeed !

Will Smith no doubt is one of the most successful Hollywood Superstars.

But way long time ago, many years back before he ever smelt stardom, he decided on something and he committed to his decision. Listen to
what he said; in my mind, I have always been an A List Superstar. I decided no one or nothing will stop me from having a career.
Now there's a huge lesson to learn in there; he decided and he stood by his decision, he was committed to his decision, and the results are
so visible for all to see clearly today. From his early days as the Fresh Prince of BelAir up till his recent movies, he always nails it, he is so so always on point.

Now, whenever I go for my talks in different parts of the country and I am addressing the audience on the issue of Decision Making, there is this illustration I always give, or rather this question I always ask. Okay, check this; four boys were sitting on a fence and one of them decided to jump, how many boys are left on the fence? I hear you say three, you're wrong, there are still four boys sitting on that fence.
One of them DECIDED to jump - he did not jump. There is a big difference between deciding to do something and actually committing to it and doing it.

You know as human beings, we can be so funny at times. We can decide on something and not do anything about it, and not commit ourselves to

it... I can decide right now that I want to start a business and that is where it ends, I don't do anything about it. I can decide to go

back to school for my Masters degree program or a Professional course and that is where it ends, I may not commit to the decision. I can decide I want to start going to the gym because I want to stay fit and keep myself in shape, and that is where it ends.

Dear Friends, you need to realise that deciding is not the same thing as doing. You need to decide on whatever it is you want to do, stay
committed, then follow up your decision with actions to Succeed. Decide and Succeed. If you decide to start a business, then Start! If
you decide to write a book or release a song, then Proceed. If you decide to do something good for yourself and with yourself, don't just
leave it there, Commit yourself to it and make sure you do it. It's not just enough for you to decide if you will not carry out a
corresponding action. I wish you the very best.
