In my lectures, I give a very simple example: 'When you get into a taxi, you tell the driver the destination.'
driver the address where you want to go. If you don't know where you're going, then there are two options:
1. That you stay there and the driver leaves, or
2. That takes you to any destination you did not choose. So, if you don't know where you're going, you will be
allowing others to lead you to where they think is suitable and you will never be
satisfied with where you are nor will you feel that you have reached your destination.
If you don't have a plan, someone will make you a part of theirs.
DECISIONS
That is why today I want to talk to you about the importance of MAKING DECISIONS. Time flies by.

The idea of cutting around a decision is that before arriving at a decision, there is
fights, disputes, arguments, etc. The idea is that the decision cuts off all these discussions.
Daniel 1:8 And Daniel proposed in his heart not to defile himself with the portion of the king's food,

DECISIONS!!!

DECIDE!!
Many of us have to make decisions before a new year begins.
Decisions related to:
Our relationship with God
Our relationship with our children, wives or husbands, or with the family.
With our health
With our time
With my studies, or the Church, etc.
And if you are not able to see the decisions you have to make (in the words of Julia Tort), they can
two things happen:
1. Stay there standing and let time pass and leave, or
2. May time, and circumstances lead you to any destination you did not choose. If you do not know
Where are you going, you will be allowing others to lead you to where they think is convenient and
You will never be satisfied with where you are nor feel that you have reached your destination.
Remember: If you don't have a plan, someone will make you part of theirs.
DECISIONS!!!
Caleb decided for God and that decision led him into the Promised Land.
According to the definition of decide, Caleb: Made a definitive determination about a matter; resolved.
a matter definitely and in a certain way.
Caleb made a decision: he made a cut, separated, set aside many things that separated him from
that land. He decided not to fight anymore with himself, with his age, with what others decided.
Daniel decided not to contaminate himself with the King's food. He made a resolution. He set the purpose to reach
achieve that by putting in the necessary means.
What should my goals be?
Concrete: The goals you are going to set must be perfectly defined.
Detail. You must know exactly what you want to achieve.
Written on paper: With a clear and precise wording.
Stay visually present in the busiest place:Make a collage of
photographs with everything you desirephoto montages with you and your family of places, cars,
houses, etc., as if you were already living it and observe it every day, preferably in the
waking up and before sleeping.
To be achievable: In order to conquer them. It is important that you force yourself to
strive. To step out of your comfort zone with effort.
To have a start date and an expiration date: For when do you want to obtain it, with
exact date.
Be progressive: They are achieved based on constant effort, step by step.
Be gradual: When you do one, you must have the next one in an increasing manner.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!
Be morally suitable for you and for others: Always watch that your actions
be uplifting.
Aim for a greater purpose in your life: Always dream big.
Carry emotional commitment: Being willing to 'no matter what...' I'm going to
to reach!
A human can focus more successfully if they focus on 3 goals instead of just one.
long list that will scatter our effort and concentration.
Write a powerful reason: An internal engine for why you will achieve each one
with determination.
Several reasons why we can achieve our goals:
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
-2 Corinthians 12:9 Each time he said to me, 'My grace is all you need; my power works best in weakness.'
weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of
Christ may act through me.
-2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and
self-discipline.
March 9:23 Jesus said to him: If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
Abel decided to offer a better sacrifice to please God.
He made decisions that made him walk with God.
Noé's decisions saved his family.
Abraham decided to obey God and leave his land without knowing where he would go, thus becoming the
friend of God, the father of faith, of the promise. He believed in hope against hope (Ro
4:18). And he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already as good as dead (being
almost a hundred years), or the barrenness of Sarah's womb.(Ro 4:19)
José decided not to throw in the towel, he decided to remain faithful to God despite the betrayal of his
brothers, of being sold as a slave, of entering prison unjustly and despite being 20
years without seeing his family.
Moses decided to be mistreated rather than enjoy the pleasures of Egypt.
Joshua made decisions that would lead his family to blessing.
And as the author of Hebrews says, time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak,
Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. (Heb 11:32)
There are 4 reasons why 97% of people stop setting goals.
goals, according to Zig Ziglar:
1. They ignore their importance. Their family education lacked instruction in
regarding.
2. They ignore how to set them. It is essential that you look for a mentor.

DECIDE!!
3. Fear of rejection —fear of being ridiculed or discouraged—. Keep your goals
confidential, discuss them only with those who also have them.
4. The old and familiar enemy: the fear of failure (failure is essential for success,
it is impossible to achieve it without having gone through obstacles), as well as the fear of success
(What will I do if I achieve it? How do I handle it?)
