Commit to a Decision

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy,

not on fighting the old, but on building the new."

Socrates

Our thoughts are extremely powerful even when we are not conscious of them.  What we think can be distorted by our ego and discolored by previous experiences.  Once we commit to a decision, it is necessary to be aware and maintain our focus.

The concept is easily projected when compared to a foundation.  If one builds on a few stacked wooden blocks while another perfectly secures numerous cement blocks into rows, which will have the best chance at success?  A half baked idea or one filled with passion.

Using the same analogy, it is important for the ground to be cleared prior to the foundation being laid.  This is true for our choices.  It is imperative to release our old images and begin entirely anew.  Perfectly sound plans can be suffocated from the weight of the past.
