Title: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Hello my fellow heroes, and welcome to episode 63!

I heard a riddle the other day, maybe you’ve heard yourself.

Five frogs were sitting on a log, three of the frogs decided to jump off the log. How many frogs are left on the log? The answer is five.

You see, while three decided to jump off the log, they never put any action behind the decision.

I think this is an excellent representation of how many of us go through life.

• The most obvious case in point is New Years resolutions.
  • In just over a month, 2018 will be upon us
  • Many of us will establish new years resolutions
  • Most of us will abandon them within a week
  • Because we will put no action behind our decision or resolution
• Decisions without action are worthless
  • Just like Bible says faith without works is dead
  • So too will the change be dead in your life if you make decisions without action
    • You can decide to save money
    • You can decide to loose weight
    • You can decide to write a book
    • But all of the decisions require you to take some sort of action
  • Most people fail to take action because
    • They don’t know what to do
    • They are intimidated
    • The action is difficult and they are not truly committed to taking it
  • How to avoid the trap of inaction
    • Find a mentor who has walked your road
    • Understand how your life will change by taking action on your decision
    • Understand the consequences on NOT taking action on your decision
    • Create a system of accountability for the actions you must take to support your decision

Be intentional about making positive decisions for change in your life and follow through with the appropriate action to support your decisions to create lasting change.
