Deciding to remember, and what to remember, is how we decide who we are.

"He is free who knows how to keep in his own hand the power to
decide."
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.

The true spiritual aspirant is the one who bears witness to the self in the real world; one who, in a split second, witnesses the thoughts, feelings and emotions that arise in the mind, and is able to either say, “Yes go ahead,” or, “No do not go ahead with this course of action.” This gives one the opportunity to act in accordance with their higher self at all times.
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories but it takes brave men and women to win them.
"It began with a life-or-death decision to remove the Needle of False Security from my arm, turn away from the Medusa of Routine, part the Veil of Bogus Guarantees and pass on into that vital place where, regardless of the question, all you have to say is yes."
When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.
The best way to be on time is to simply decide to be on time and to acknowledge that travel and meetings always take more time than originally anticipated.
Love is active. It requires choice, decision and carries responsibility. To be in love is to actively affirm your choices and decision and to accept the responsibility of caring for another's heart.
What exactly does it take to live the life of your dreams? Perfect timing? Fortunate opportunities? A million dollars
in the bank? Not even close. It takes a decision; a simple decision that will ultimately test the strength of your
commitment and the depth of your faith.
Every change begins with a vision and a decision to take action.
Knowing that one is always capable of change, the second step lies in making the decision to change. Change does not occur by merely willing it anymore than behavior changes simply through insight.
No decision-making system is going to guarantee corporate success. The strategic decisions that corporations have to make are of mind-numbing complexity. But we know that the more power you give a single individual in the face of complexity and uncertainty, the more likely it is that bad decisions will get made.
One key to successful group decisions is getting people to pay much less attention to what everyone else is saying.
