The Healing Power of Decision | AJ Buckley

We may not notice it, but our TODAY is the effect of all the decisions we made ever since we learned how to think. A decision may lead to several hundred failures or successes, but it will still end up in another need for a decision. It holds immense power, especially over our future.

Will you be successful, or will you be a failure?
YOU DECIDE.
If you fail now, will you try again or stay where you are?
YOU DECIDE.

Deciding or finalizing a decision doesn’t instantly bring you what you want. But it helps you start and gain the determination to move forward. This podcast episode with AJ BUCKLEY will surely be one of your many favorites from THE STATE sessions.

"At any point in your career, to realize you’re genuinely practicing what you preach—that’s when you know you’re the real deal, genuinely caring to help people be healthy." - AJ Buckley

Our society is like a choice-driven jungle, and sometimes our minds are scattered somewhere with a vast amount of decision phobia. Many of us find decision-making to be hard. We feel hesitant the moment we dip our feet at least an inch away from our comfort zone.

It is human nature to find it hard to commit to large or even small choices. It is okay if we feel overwhelmed by the infinite selections surrounding us, and it leaves us paralyzed, unmotivated, feeling lost and empty most of the time – BUT not for too long. These hiccups are also the very stones that weigh us down. At some point, we need to decide whether we stay grounded or we move forward.
