Take That

Hi-ya...Take that! It's been said that once you decide to make a change, then the change that you seek will be 100% effective. The key is that you DECIDED to follow through with what ever your goal was. You might be re-reading those words and looking back at your own life; thinking to yourself and evaluating the prospect of what you desired and wanted to achieve was truly at the inception of finally deciding?

My mom quit smoking the day she "decided" to. Not for her children, her doctors recommendation or for her partner who also was hopeful to make a daily routine without a cigarette. Making the decision to decide to change is your secret formula. Your very own magic potion to drink when you really want to be different, live different or aspire for different.

Saying the words, "I hope" or "I'll try" are words of excuses where the eventual fallback is long term failure. Make it a point to say instead, "I decided to"...See what happens? I say, "Hi-ya...Take that new life of mine, I decided to be a photographer with a blog". I DECIDED TO! :)
