Which future are you killing off today?

What does it mean to decide?

Decide comes from the Latin decidere, literally “to kill off from” (de “off” + caedere “to kill”).

In other words, when you decide to do a thing, you are also deciding to not do (kill) a host of other things.

And what of deciding not to decide?

Well, that’s deciding too. Indecision is a decision to settle for the way things are.

What does this have to do with making a difference (specifically, the difference only you can make)?

Difference-makers dream and strive for a better future.

So which future are you deciding to kill off today?

Are you deciding not to decide (thereby killing off a future in pursuit of the difference only you can make)? 

Or are you killing off the future where you’re not doing anything (and thereby doing something in service of your dream)?

Decide well.

The future for the difference only you can make depends on it.
