To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person. But few people fully respect all his or her decisions, making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed, whether they are correct, or even whether they are possible to complete. Imagine what you would be like if you were able to respect your decisions. You would be determined (坚定的), more creative, more satisfied, and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out, the simplest way to start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions you make! Yes, it's as simple as that.
Before making a decision, it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering. Do you feel easy and relaxed about what you are thinking to do? If you decide to do something that doesn't agree with your inner feelings, you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you've decided to do. In fact, you may not even start it! By making sure that the decision agrees with your values first, you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself. If you seldom do what you said, then other people will not trust you, nor will you trust yourself. Very quickly these make you tired, slow and lazy. At this point, nearly everything seems like hard work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have. By giving importance to your time and energy, you will be able to make wise decisions. You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do. You will be highly respected. You will have a powerful and clear mind. You'll have one of the greatest attributes (特质) needed for success.
