"You can't fight darkness with darkness, but you can switch on the light."
-Deepak Chopra

New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford has made a film, a docudrama, about what she calls "The Shadow Effect".  In the movie, she explores what people would call "our dark side". 

Once you get in the habit of execution, you create the tempo and are able to do far more than when you sit back and dilly dally.

When you remain indecisive things get much longer to complete.  From my experience, I have found great leaders that I have worked with are decisive.  They do make mistakes but they don't hesitate to make a decision.

Look at an email once and act on it - delete, reply, file. Look at a mail only once - ditch, delegate or reply.  Act as if today was the last day before your holiday.  Things will move very fast!

One of the traits I have seen in successful people is that they are decisive! Once they decide, then execution is the name of the game.

They are not always right, however, for the most part they are. And when they are wrong, the consequences are not earth shattering, because they always weigh in the question "What is the worst that can happen?" before deciding.

If you are unsure how to make an important decision then ask yourself the following 7 questions:

Last night we went for late night dessert with my daughter Sahar who had just returned from University.  We had a great family bonding, however, we ended up eating too much.

The next morning I was feeling guilty of eating too much.  At the same time I was feeling good about the great family time.  After going back and forth with these two emotions, I decided to focus on feeling good about the great family time.

This shift made me feel happier, resulting in far superior work productivity and better food control.
