Part IV - The Seven Decisions That Determine Personal Growth

4. I Have A Decided Heart – My destiny is assured

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Knowing this to be true, I am taking my first step today. Criticism,
condemnation, and complaint are creatures of the wind. They come and go on the wasted breathe of lesser beings and have
no power over me. The power of control belongs to me. Today I will exercise that power. My course has been charted. My destiny is assured. I have a decided Heart. I am passionate about my vision for the future. I will awaken every morning with
an excitement about the new day and its opportunity for growth and change. I will freely give my vision for the future to others, and as they see the belief in my eyes, they will follow me. I will lay my head on my pillow at night happily exhausted, knowing that I have done everything within my power to move the mountains in my path. As I sleep, the same dream that dominates my waking hours will be with me in the dark. Yes, I have a dream. It is a great dream, and I will never apologize for it. Neither will I ever let it go, for if I did, my life would be finished. My hopes, my passions, my vision for the future are my very existence. A person without a dream never had a dream come true. I have a decided heart. I will not wait. I am not timid. I will move now and not look back. I do not procrastinate. All my problems become smaller when I confront them. If I touch a thistle with caution, it will prick me, but if I grasp it boldly, its spines crumble into dust.
I will not wait!
I am passionate about my vision for the future!
My course has been charted!
My destiny assured!

I Have A Decided Heart!
