Decide and Conquer

12/5/07 Lord, grace us with the ability to make wise decisions and grant us the strength to follow through on them with determination and discipline. Amen

You can make no progress in your life unless you make the decision to do so. Deciding to be successful is the first step. You cannot consistently be successful in life unless you consciously decide what direction you want your life to take. The earlier you start on the path to success the easier it will be. Remember this when you disagree with your parents when they try and steer you in the right direction. Ultimately the decision will be yours, but your parents love you and only want what's best for you. They will never consciously steer you towards evil.

Once you make the decision, the hard work begins. After you've made your decisions you have to have the determination to follow through with them. Sometimes one path will lead to a more productive path that you never anticipated. But once you decide and commit to lifestyle that reflects your morals it will be easier to build upon those fundamentals and to make choices in the future based on the decisions you've made about how you want to live your life. Some things cannot be compromised.
