I know what I want

Can you imagine setting out on the ocean not really knowing where you're going? You just 'know' that you're going to find what you're looking for. That's what Christopher Columbus did. He was looking for a passage way to Asia and decided to go west to get to the east. No passage was found but he did discover many islands and indigenous people. This is the fourth person David meets on his journey.

The Fourth Decision for Success is............I have a decided heart

• "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Knowing this is true, I am taking my first step today. For too long my feet have been tentative, shuffling left and right, more backward than forward as my heart gauged the direction of the wind

• Criticism, condemnation, and compliant are creatures of the wind. They come and go on the wasted breath of lesser beings and have no power over me

• The power to control direction belongs to me and today I will begin to exercise that power

• My course has been charted and my destiny is assured

• I have a decided heart. I am passionate about my vision for the future

• I will awaken every morning with an excitement about the new day and its opportunity for growth and change

• My thoughts and actions will work in a forward motion, never sliding into the dark forest of doubt or the muddy quicksand of self-pity

• I will freely give my vision for the future to others, and as they see the belief in my eyes, they will follow me
• I will lay my head on my pillow at night happily exhausted, knowing that I have done everything within my power to move the mountains in my path

• As I sleep, the same dream that dominates my waking hours will be with me in the dark

• Yes, I have a dream. It is a great dream, and I will never apologize for it. Neither will I let go, for if I did, my life would be finished

• My hopes, my passions, my vision for the future are my very existence

• I have a decided heart. I will not wait

• What I put off until tomorrow, I will put off until the next day as well. I do not procrastinate

• All my problems become smaller when I confront them

• I will not wait. I am passionate about my vision for the future. My course has been charted. My destiny is assured. I have a decided heart.
