Hey, friends, welcome to The Couragecast. I am so glad that you are joining me today. My name is Andrea, I am your host, I am also a mindset coach and the author of design with purpose, which is something I don't really talk about very often, I wrote a book back in the day.
You know, sometimes I'm thinking about whether or not I should be writing a new book, you know, so often, we are put in a position where we have to make a decision about something. Now it can be a decision on something, you know, regular in our lives, you know, should I go for lunch? Should I meet that person? Should I schedule that meeting for today or tomorrow? But oftentimes, it's a bigger decision, like, should I invest in, you know, something big in my life? Should I, you know, decide to join a mastermind or invest in a new coach, or should I take that trip, even though things have not really been going the way I want them to now, so often, we defer those decisions, we put them off and we say, Oh, I'll make them later. As an example, I have been doing that over the past two weeks, there's something that has come up for me. And it was so interesting, because it was a really, really great opportunity. It seemed so clear cut. And yet every time I went to make a decision about it, I would say oh, I'll make it tomorrow. And I'll make it the next day. So I got an email yesterday. And I actually responded with the fact that I am going to make a decision by noon today. And it is something that I'm committed to, it is something that I want to do. And I'm ready to do. On the other hand, there was opportunity that was presented to me that I went ahead, and I fill out the form, I met with a prospective coach. And within a few minutes, I had secured not only one, but for coaching sessions with an amazing coach and get this for free. Is that not crazy? Here's the thing, friends. So often, we are deferring decisions. I'll fill that form out later, I will decide on that later. And those two instances in my life really showed me something that oftentimes we are waiting for something to happen in order to make the decision. And then we never have the benefit of having made that decision, or the opportunity that's going to unfold because of it. Whereas other times, when we make a quick decision right away, often, we know immediately whether or not that's an opportunity that we should take. So I wanted to talk to you today about what it looks like in our lives, when we're making a committed decision in our lives, in our relationships, in in our business. Because if we are deferring decisions, if we're waiting to make a decision for another day, oh, I've got to think about it. Or I need to see if I have enough money, or I have to see if I have enough time in my schedule to do this. We're never actually going to achieve the success that we desire. So here's the thing.
First of all, we have to get really, really, really clear on what it is that we desire in our lives. What do you desire happening right now in your life? Do you want to have a relationship? Do you want to build more connections within your business? Do you want more Clients, are you looking to collaborate or grow something within your business, get super clear on what it is that you desire to happen. Because the moment you make that decision, and you hold that decision, and you really put a motion towards it, it becomes a desire. And that desire is going to lead you to the outcome, it's going to help you to take that aligned action, it's gonna help you to recognize those opportunities, whether they're a good opportunity or a bad opportunity, or whether or not you should not do something. And over the course of the past couple of weeks, as I've been kind of processing through this for myself, and I've been looking at how I'm making decisions, I'm realizing that the faster I make a decision on something, the better it turns out. And the more I receive from that opportunity, because it was presented to me, and I had an opportunity to take that person up on what they were offering, or what was happening. And immediately, something shifted. And this is what happens in your life, when you make a committed decision to have success in your life and success in your business. The universe conspires to deliver on those decisions. I mean, think about it, do you actually think that you're going to have to do this all by yourself. Like, you're gonna have to figure out the how and the when, and the resources to come up with whatever it is that you need, once a decision is made. It really just takes that committed decision, that desire burning within you to signal the universe to signal, I'm ready for the next thing. And then watch as the universe, God source delivers to you probably even more than what you expect, probably even a better version of the thing that you think you're going to get. Now, I've seen this manifest in my life over the past couple of months, in so many ways. And, you know, as I mentioned, I got four free coaching sessions, but that is not all. Okay, that's from one person. And we're focusing on relationships. But get this not only did I receive from the universe for free coaching sessions, but I also received two free coaching sessions, from an additional coach helping me grow in my sales. Not only did I receive that, but I also was given an opportunity for an entire VIP day to really go through everything I'm offering within my business to uplevel and upgrade what I'm doing. Is that not amazing, right? And that all stemmed from me responding immediately, to an opportunity. But the moment I hesitate, the moment I defer the moment I've been all think about it, those opportunities to just kind of dwindle away, they never really happen. So I want to pose a challenge to you today. Whatever that decision is in your life that you are making right now. It could be a small decision. It could be a medium sized decision, it could be a huge decision. It could be something that you're thinking about that would cost you and would be a huge investment for you. I encourage you to set time aside today. And first of all, make the decision that you're going to make the decision that's number one.
Because when you decide I'm going to make a decision today, then you know it's happening. Then number two, get still get grounded. And listen for that still small voice your intuition that God voice within you to do racked the decision, whether it's a yes or no. And remember, oftentimes, if it's a no, it could be that it's a not now. But still, you know, to tell them, it's a no. And then make that decision. Because when you make that decision, you're committing to yourself, that you are truly in. When it comes to achieving your goals, you are truly in when it comes to growing your business, you are truly in when it comes to cultivating relationships, shifts in your life, you have decided to go all in on you. And it all starts by making a decision. I hope that helps you today friend, you know, it's really helped me. And if you're making a decision, or you're facing a huge decision in your life, I just encourage you take that time today to do that.
