Judith Wright:
Let’s say you want to lose ten pounds, the real question to ask is, “Why?”

Judith Wright, author of the book, The One Decision…

Maybe you want to feel better, maybe you want to be sexier, maybe you want to be more attractive but underneath all of that is you probably want more love in your life-so commit to that instead.

Judith believes that New Year’s resolutions fail because they’re just little stabs at changing small behaviors.

And what happens is that we haven’t really decided how we’re going to live our lives and what the quality of our life is going to be. Not really deciding the big question about our life.

So, rather than New Year’s resolutions, Judith recommends you make one decision about your life...

That you then use to guide all the other choices in your life. There are many choices but there’s one decision. There’s one person I worked with and they made their one decision to be more truthful and genuine in their lives. And it guided everything from even writing an email when they wanted to fudge some information. Or on a first date, how much should I reveal myself? That one decision starts to impact all those choices.

So, what would your one decision be? To be more caring, to be more generous?

You don’t really have to know what it is; it really just has to be more of a conviction in your heart. And what’s better sometimes is to even test drive a one decision, try one on and try to orient your choices towards that. It’s why you want to do what you’re doing and how do you want to be?
