Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

Decisions are only the beginning of something.
When someone makes a decision he is, in fact,
plunging into a powerful current
that carries him to a place
he had never even dreamed of
when he made that initial decision.
(The Alchemist)

To decide.

The place beyond initial imagination – it is that place I’d like to see. Is that beyond in a good sense, or a bad one? Life demands decisions. And then what you decide becomes the context of your living, even through the anger, the sadness, the betrayal, the helplessness, the tiredness… also the joy and all good things of course (just, bad day today).

I mean, isn’t that just a tad scary?

Decision is my will
The gift is received
And shown

Decision is my dream
The smile is opened
And drawn

Decision is my sword
The path is arroawed
Nascent

Decision is my sight
People are gentile
Or false

Decision is my fight
The field is litted
Claimant

Decision is my life
The heart is gifted
And wise

But sometimes,
too long is the time before a decision.

We can anticipate, but we never know exactly where we will end up. That is part of the mystery and excitement of life in this particular existence.

Yes Hildegarde, but those are perhaps the hardest steps, when we have forgotten our decision and the original path is no longer visible… and it is also possible to lose touch with ones heart for a moment… we know we must not give up but cannot remember why! So then we have to step out into the unknown, even if we are afraid, and trust God, that the universe will carry us in the right direction. Easter Blessings!

decision is the hard- easy choice of being!
I decide so there is sth happens
decision is the second face of the coin called,” Maktub” and you might ask me what does ” maktub” mean? and i will tell u, u will have to have been an Arab to understand its meaning:o

but still, it is your decision:D

That’s a part of life…to take a risk,
without that we would be stuck at the very beginning.
We wouldn’t be able to see the world,
to meet new, interesting, fascinating people..,
to feel, to love..,
to experience every little, precious moment of our life..

love
Agnieszka

Yes because, he makes a Good pact with himself, and honours it.

yes… making a decision is like pushing a pebble down the side of a mountain! when making a decision, sometimes even unknowingly, one aligns the force of ones intent with the power of the universe. decisions create movement: an unfolding begins and must continue, even if the decision is forgotten! a warrior must know himself to be a fool and decide with his heart not his mind, for this unfolding can bring about the most unimagined results! when a warrior has made a decision, there is no turning back!
