Make a Decision and stick with it!
As I watch the successful people in my life, those with a wonderful family/financial balance, I find a common theme among them. Whether they are Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Atheist or Agnostic, they all know how to make decisions in their lives. More importantly, once these decisions are made they stick with them. My father has been with the same law firm for more than 25 years. My uncle Jack has been with Lockheed Martin for as long as I can remember, and my closest friend is following in his father's footsteps as a commercial real estate mogul.
Most articles and head hunters will urge you to jump from job to job. I plead with you to look in the mirror and don't just think about the money at a new job. Money comes because of hard work and stick-to-it of ness. Do what you love and stick with it. In Richard Branson's "Losing my Virginity" he says, "A business has to be involving: It has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts." He knew at a young age that to be successful it was not possible to focus on money. Neither is it possible for a Lawyer, Doctor, CPA, Rabbi, or Priest to focus on money in the short term to be a success.
Do think long and hard before jumping into any endeavor as it may be time consuming and, or expensive. Meditating daily or going to the park (if you enjoy nature) are small, meaningful decisions that can help you see success in your life. Or maybe you want to go on a walk every day to clear your mind. The idea is to do something small ands meaningful everyday so that it becomes a habit. It will help your decision making process down the road. Start today!
