No matter what you want to do with your life, you can do it. But to start, you have got to decide what you truly want to do with your life. You are the only one who can do that. No one can do it for you. And it is not going to easy. But do not let that keep you where you are.

To grow, you must change something that is not working for you. To get what you want in your life, it is your responsibility. Your brother can’t help you. You spouse can’t help you. Your friends can’t help you. Even your government can’t help you. Why? Why is that? Because they don’t know what you want to do with your life. Because you are the master of your life. Yes, your life.

No matter what it is that you want to do with yourself, you can do it. But you must decide. You must take a leap of faith. Because without action, nothing is going to happen. Just decide, then start the process. Yes, it is a process. You are not going to be successful overnight. There are no short cuts to success. If you want to be successful, you must decide. And you must live it on a daily basis. If not, it is not going to happen. Because success takes practice.

3 Ways To Make Better Decisions

When it comes to making the best decisions, you matter. Your values matter. Your goals matter. And your future matters. 
Make your decisions based on what you want to achieve for your life, not what other people want you to achieve for yourself. 
Because you are here to live your life, to create your own world, to make a difference. And you can't get there by using other people's decisions to live your life, to do your work. That is not living, but existing. 
Remember, you are not here to exist, you are here to live, to grow, to conquer yourself. To make your life happen, you must learn how to make better decisions.

If you do not know how to start, or where to start, you can start with these quotes from Dr. Rob Yeung, a business psychologist

Take care of your environment. 
''Simply living or working in an untidy, chaotic, unstructured environment may hamper people's decision- making.'' Where you work represents who you are. If you think you can get away with an untidy environment, you are kidding yourself. Do not call it creativity. Call it lazivity.

Focus on what is important.
''Having more options actually bewilders and overwhelms us- it makes it harder for us to make any decsion at all.'' We have more than we want. But to get what you want, to make a better decision, you must know what you do not want. If not, you are going to be lost. When that happens, nothing gets done. 

Go for a walk. 'Simply going for a walk boosts creativity. Being outdoors also boosts creativity.' If you want to make a better decision, just go for a walk. You will feel better when you are back.
