   Chapter 2: हेel lush a man may command wealth«umpstance or feeling there is a quieter contest which must first be decided it does not take place in the world it does not require the presence of others it is carried on within between two opposing forces decision and impulse if I were to begin again I would concern myself first with this contest for it determines all others a man may decide upon a course of action with complete clarity he may know precisely what must be done he may possess the ability to do it yet at the moment when action is required something intervenes not a barrier, not an obstacle but a suggestion a suggestion to delay, to reconsider to choose ease over effort this suggestion is impulse and though it appears small its effect is great for if followed it breaks continuity and continuity is required for all progress most men are not defeated by circumstance they are diverted by impulse they begin with intention yet fail in execution not because they lack knowledge but because they do not command themselves at the moment action must occur this is the hidden conflict decision speaks once impulse speaks often decision is firm impulse is persistent and if a man does not strengthen his decision through action impulse will gradually overcome it this is not a sudden defeat it is a quiet yielding the man does not declare that he has chosen comfort he simply postpones effort he tells himself he will begin later that conditions are not yet ideal that he will return to the task with greater readiness yet this return seldom occurs with the strength he expects for each delay weakens the original decision each postponement reduces its program force until the decision once clear becomes uncertain this is how potential is lost not through failure but through repeated surrender to impulse if i were beginning again i would observe this pattern closely i would notice how often i choose not between success and failure but between action and delay i would recognize that each moment of hesitation is not neutral it shapes what follows for the man who yields once finds it easier to yield again and the man who acts once finds it easier to act again thus a pattern is formed not in a single act but in repeated choice there exists within every man a tendency toward ease this tendency is not harmful in itself but when left unchecked it becomes dominant it suggests that effort may be postponed that discomfort may be avoided that action may be delayed without consequence yet the consequence is always present for each time a man chooses ease over execution he strengthens that choice and in strengthening it he weakens his ability to do otherwise if i were beginning again i would not attempt to remove impulse entirely for it cannot be removed it is part of the human condition instead i would learn to recognize it to see it as it arises to distinguish it from decision for impulse is immediate it seeks relief decision is deliberate it seeks result the two are often in opposition and the outcome depends upon which is followed if impulse is obeyed the man remains where he is if decision is obeyed the man advances thus the battle is simple yet not easy it must be fought repeatedly there is also a habit which strengthens impulse beyond its natural force it is the habit of allowing negotiation a man decides to act yet permits himself to reconsider he introduces conditions he allows exceptions he weakens his own command by treating it as optional this habit is subtle yet destructive for once a decision becomes negotiable it loses its authority and once authority is lost impulse gains control if i were beginning again i would remove this habit i would not permit myself to decide and then reconsider without cause i would treat decision as final not as suggestion i would act upon it without delay without argument without excuse for it is not the decision itself that produces result it is the action that follows that아�jeannie. 299s · Speaker 1
