I accept responsibility for my past. I am responsible for my success.” - Andy Andrews “The Guided Decision: I will seek wisdom. I will be a servant to others. I will listen to the counsel of wise people.
” - Andy Andrews “The Active Decision: I am a person of action. I seize this moment. I choose now.” - Andy Andrews “The Certain Decision: I have a decided heart. My destiny is assured.” - Andy Andrews “The Joyful Decision: Today, I will choose to be happy. I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.” - Andy Andrews “The Compassionate Decision: I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit. I will forgive even those who do not ask for forgiveness.” - Andy Andrews "The Persistent Decision: I will persist without exception. I will continue despite exhaustion. I acknowledge that most people quit when exhaustion sets in." - Andy Andrews “Overcoming obstacles, setbacks, and pitfalls is a requirement for navigating Your path to greatness. You must be aware of the potential challenges that lie ahead, otherwise, you‘ll be sabotaged and blindsided through your journey. Your first obstacles are within- fear and doubt. Your secondary obstacles are the ones outside of you - other people and their criticism, doubts, and rolling eyes.” - Andy Andrews "Sometimes, in the midst of our challenges, it's easy to forget to express our gratitude to these people, to say, "Hello," or "Please," or "Thank you." Because we're so preoccupied, we don't congratulate each other or ask if anything difficult is happening in their lives. We don't compliment each other or commit random acts of kindness. It's amazing how, when you condition yourself to have a grateful spirit, you will find yourself expressing gratitude and multiplying that feeling in your life." - Andy Andrews MY MIND WILL NOT DWELL IN THE PROBLEMS OF THE PAST. IT WILL LIVE IN THE SOLUTIONS OF THE FUTURE.” - Andy Andrews Links: The Seven Decisions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0529104350?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzgeorge0f-20&creativeASIN=0529104350&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3M1UJOXVPX19P&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin Email Newsletter: https://us12.campaign-archive.com/?u=9381017234135a9c6d5f7419a&id=fb939445d2 Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://georgecouros.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=9381017234135a9c6d5f7419a&id=59b1199188 Lainie Rowell Books: https://www.lainierowell.com/books __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
