“The word "decision" comes from Latin roots, with de meaning "down" or "away from" and caedere meaning "to cut". Therefore, a decision means cutting from any other possibility. A true decision means you are committed to achieving a result and cutting yourself off from any other possibility. Committed decisions show up in two places: your calendar and your bank account. No matter what you say you value, or even think your priorities are, you have only to look at last year's calendar and bank account to see the decisions you have made about what you truly value.” — Carole Hildebrand
