Out Of Control?

If we don´t decide we are out of control.  If others decide about us and our life, we are out of control.  Decision Making has 1 main character:  to gain control over our life and future.

Now let me get back to the title of this Blog-post:

• Are you out of control?
• Do you lack success feelings?
• Is your best friend, your self-confidence, permanently absent?

If this is you, you seem to be no strong decision maker.  But don´t get me wrong:  we can only decide about things which are “free”!  If you try to decide about reactions of a system to which you are linked to, you are powerless.   A running system clicks by itself the moment you reach a certain position which is either a “link” or an “intersection”.  You move over, up or down.  If you are financially dependable of the government or a company you work for, you can only decide on your own about things which aren´t connected to this running system.

You can control YOUR running system.  It is  YOUR  LIFE  you can rule and control (at least – try!).  The moment you decide about something connected to a stiff implemented system, you need to talk about it and wait for reactions.  We can not control a running system with our personell decisions.  Fact.  It would be like speaking to a machine in hope that it would do what you want it to do – without getting access to its software program.  A no-go!

BUT!  Yes, there is a huge but.  Self-confidence needs to stay with you.  You gain and deepen it with your decision making ability.  Even if the decision you took doesn´t lead to its aimed result, you know that YOU made the decision to try.  Nobody else!  It is like holding on to a control feeling which gives us mental stability. It doesn´t deliver a direct success feeling but it will deliver a passive success feeling.

Are you still out of control?

BE A DECISION MAKER.  BECOME OUTSTANDING.
