SUMMARY:
——————–
When uncertain or afraid, how do we free ourselves from delay, make good decisions, and take decisive action?
1. Make decisions sooner:
It's easier to make decisions earlier than later. For example, if you hate your job, make a decision to leave sooner. Yes, be judicious and and collect information…but don't get into analysis paralysis or become scared of change. Set a date and prepare. Making bold decisions for yourself is the secret to moving your life forward. Ask,"What's decision have I been putting off in my personal life? What decision have I been waiting to make at work? What decision do I need to make in my relationships?" Avoidance may be the best short-term strategy to avoid pain and conflict, but it is also the best long-term strategy to ensure suffering. Stop putting it off, make that decision and stick to it.
2. Set criteria:
Criteria means you look at your decision making from three perspectives: What's good for you? What supports other people around you? What should the universal rule be for everyone faced with this decision? This means you seriously contemplate if decisions are right for you, honoring of others, and generally good for most people. What other criteria could you set? Create a “cheat sheet to good decision-making” with your own criteria and keep it by your computer and in your wallet. Consult it at every important decision.
3. Do intelligent research:
Bad decisions are often a result of acting without any information, listening to the wrong people or forcing a false choice. Intelligent research means collecting as much information as possible from informed people. There's nothing you want to achieve or overcome in your life that someone hasn't already achieved or overcome. Before you make your decision, go out and consult other informed, happy, smart, joyous, accomplished people who have done what you want to do. Often, you'll find it's not just a matter of choosing A or B, but rather there are a multitude of choices available to you.

Good stuff mate, really helpt! Just make it, stick to it and trust your gut has been my expirience too! A lot of problems revolve around just not getting started, procrastinating!
Gosh damn you are an amazing person and you’re so smart! I wish my brain would work like yours. You say the power plant creates energy but it’s not always easy to get the material lined up to start generating the energy. I believe I can do as good as you with how smart you are but I don’t believe I can do it the same way. That “way” is what I need to figure out. You’re quite the philanthropist, Brendon. Thank you.
+Jamessmgfly Energy comes from passion and focus I think. I looooove to teach. I become so energized. Once one finds what enlightens him/her, energy is created. It first shows up in our eyes, and then shows in our way of speaking and moving. Ah, I’m sure you already knew this. Have a good one.
Sir,Im deeply grateful to you because in a year,I have changed so much.That all credits goes to you.this whole week I am goin to decide righ descion for my life..
First pray to God!!! Second listen to God and do what he said!!!
Okay but seriously.
Can you see everything arround you? How perfect is it? The nature, the animals… Everything God made for us ir perfect brow, come on!!
+Anderson Thuler There’s alot of ugly people, god not real is confirmed.
This is the best advice, thanks Ethan.
You’re right! There have been things I wished I started sooner. I wished I would have started a business sooner, I wish I would have started my channel sooner, I wish I would have tried new concepts sooner. I had all these things in mind but just didn’t go for it! Happy that I am now though. 🙂
I like it, good stuff thank you
That’s my problem. I’m scared of change. I have to learn how to make decisions earlier… :/
+Mela Bee So do I !!!!
Stop being afraid of change. Fear is the ultimate illusion. Go against that fear at least once, and you’ll find that whatever you were scared wasn’t that big of a deal. I think for the most part, if you give into fear, you let your mind run wild, and whatever you expect to happen or fear will happen is a lot worse than what actually does happen. Expectations are a figment of our imagination, so if you’re going to give into your imagination, it’s better to think positively. <3
+Mangzorz Thank you very much!. I’ll keep that in mind next time I encounter troubles. :)♡♡
This is so weird… I came to this video thinking about a decision that involves moving to Atlanta… and then at 2:27…. boom… “If you have to decide.. Should I move to Atlanta”… Talk about law of attraction!
it’s not crazy it’s universe it’s communicating with your mind your eyes have to believe it
Eduardo Moraes I’m right there with you
Very good points on this topic. This video came in the perfect time in front of me. I’m actually having a big decision to make, or I’ve already made it, and this video was the final nail to the coffin. I have a chance of becoming an owner of goldsmith workshop in a few years, because I’ve been there as an apprentice. This would guarantee me a financially safe life. So many people suggest me to continue working there, telling that it’s smart. BUT, gold smithing is not my passion, and instead I will soon quit and live accordingly to my passion, which is writing and helping people. I think it’s a good decision (maybe not smart) to do what you find meaningful and important to you, than spending your life doing what you don’t love. I wish you all good decisions! 🙂
It is one of those videos I came across last year in Youtube Ad (It was a Saturday I was drinking at noon). Man-O-Man My life changed.one after another n one after other. At that point in time Brendon, this what i needed.This is not a sponsored content Personal opinion. Brendon, I love your videos. I have read your book Motivation manifesto, Seriously a good book one year now. Started with you I follow Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar. Long live my friend. Sorry for language errors
this guy make me feel good
me too
I love Brendon’s encouragement and want to post a review of Life’s Golden Ticket…where should I post that review?
praise God he helps us with them
“sometimes common sense is not common practice” 🙂
I thought some would think that was a stupid question
u have really helped me
I like this boy
I suppose I’m just afraid to have responsibility and commitment
