Decisions and its Original Latin Root

One of the most important concepts that man has ever introduced is the power of decisions.

The word decision, in its original Latin root, means to cut off from any other situation.

Consequently, a decision is something that must be fulfilled. It is an obligation to oneself and to others.

Throughout history, we have seen how some simple decisions have led to great events. Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a bus led to the Civil Rights movement in America.

Similarly, Mahatma Gandhi's decision not to resort to violence defeated the greatest empire the world had seen.

To understand the power of a decision to understand the greatest power available to man.

Indeed, it is our decisions and, more importantly their strength and our certainty, that hold the keys to our future.

Decisions are like muscles. One must start off by making small decisions just as one starts off lifting small weights. As you progress and grow, decisions become easier and, consequently, have a greater effect. Today, try to make a commitment to decide to do two things each day. These could be simple things such as taking a 10 minute walk or calling someone that you have not spoken to in a while. By doing this, you will unlock a powerful force within you that wants to grow, expand and make a difference. By utilising your power of decision, you will soon be doing things you never thought possible.
