Hi everyone,
I appreciate that more of you have joined and more are attempting to join. Again, this is a little project that I have going and I hope that everyone will participate in my efforts. We can talk about anything! We really can so let me know if there is anything that you want to talk about.
I thought that it seems like a good time to discuss the idea of choices in our daily lives. We are bombarded with constant choices in our daily lives. Some of them seem to be easy and others are more difficult. The choices that seem easy are more dicotomous. By this, I mean there is a right and wrong choice, there are only two choices, or there are very few factors involved in making the decision. Other decisions, are filled with more factors to consider, more uncertainty and more potention problems. The decisions difficult because of course we want to make the right decision, but sometimes there is no right decision, since we do not have crytal balls. So how can we effectively make these decisions:
1. First determine the necessity of making the decision in the first place....What is the goal to making this decision; will it accomplish anything
2. what are the possible choices
3. of the possible choices make a list for each choice. What pleasures will this decision bring you and what are the possible/probable pains that it will create.
4. While looking at the list of pains, determine if these are pains that can be minimized or coped with.
5. While looking at the list of pleasure, determine if the pleasures are helpful, healthy and directly related to your goal from step one.
After doing this your decision should become much more clear and less stressful. Make your choice and live it. Meaning go with it; let it be guided by your goal and ultimately your passion. Self doubt and negativity have no place in the process. Make the choice and live it as if it was definately the correct one... this does not mean it will be the right one. It just means you are taking a chance on yourself and giving yourself and opportunity to learn and grow. There is always room to change course when necessary.
