The Decision That Turns A Wish Into A Definite Direction | Earl Nightingale

There is a sentence you have been saying for years, one of these days, and it has done exactly as much work as it ever did, which is none. What turns a wish into a direction?

This 1-hour Earl Nightingale-inspired commentary explains the difference between a wish and a decision, and how a single written card with a date, a cost, and a first step can turn an old wish into a definite direction. Through invented examples of a woman who wanted to live by the sea for fifteen years, a man who kept every door open, a young woman who decided too fast, a retired surveyor who wanted to write, and a couple who disagreed about a move, you will learn the three cuts of a decision, the difference between a decision and an impulse, a five-question test, a decision card, and how to hold a decision through doubt. Closes with a calm rehearsal and honest cautions. Topics: goals, worthy ideal, decision making, personal responsibility, disciplined thought, clear goal, steady growth.
