de-cide
verb [ intrans. ]
come to a resolution in the mind as a result of consideration from Latin decidere ‘determine,’ from de- ‘off’ + caedere ‘cut.’
Did you know the word “Decide” literally means “To cut off”?
When we truly de-cide, we cut off any other possibility.
What do you need decide to today?
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!”” ~ W.H. Murray
