Decisions
Up Front Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When times are tough and things look bad
You've gotta look at all the good times you've had
Erase the madness from your mind
And try to see the positive side

Things can only be as bad as you make them
So think things through and overcome them
When things that would make a grown man cry
Are happening right in front of your eyes

Take the time to reason things out
Don't go on an instinct or on a doubt
Discuss your problems with a friend
'cause life is a valuable thing to end

Your own life is something you shouldn't take
So value the decisions that you make




And before you decide to take those pills
Or pull that trigger - just don't

Mister Speaker...

A big thank-you to you for this video, sir. I happen to be going through a lot of these challenges, and have been doubting my actions. This made me feel more confident in what things I am, surprisingly to me, doing right, and also helped fill in the blanks on what I could be doing better. As always, much appreciated!

Hi Pat, awesome video. This was exactly what i was looking for, i'm just a beginner in the world of entrepreneurship, and there is a lot i don't know about how to market my product, get new business clients, etc.

Again, thank you so much!

I love how you keep mentioning to study your clients. Your videos keep me going when times get difficult. I study my students, their parents, I keep notes on what they like and do. At the end of the year if they have done the requested amount of work, they get a personalised gift. They see I care and want to come back. The story of the company and how it connects with the client is the most important thing for getting effective result. Thank you for another positive video.

Greetings from Paris and thank you for your Instagram DM when visiting Nice. I hope you had wonderful times with your wife celebrating your anniversary.Katerina
