“Five birds are hanging out on a branch. Four decided to fly. How many are left?”
If you think the answer is one, you missed something. All five are still hanging out on that branch.
The point of this riddle is not “how many birds” but their ACTION. See, they decided to fly but that doesn’t mean they actually did it.
Do you find yourself making a decision but then time passes by and you realize you never acted on that decision, so you make it again and continue to remain in your existing location, situation, etc.?
We are all capable of making thousands of decisions, that’s the easy part. It’s the action, and the doing, that scares us. So today, think of some of the decisions you have declared but never carried through and take the next step. Life doesn’t come with do-overs, somedays I wish it did. But what it does come with is the ability to be deliberate with our time, our decisions, and ultimately our life to make a change.
