Should I or Shouldn’t I

Many times we have decisions to make and are not sure which way to go. The fork in the road can cause stress, frustration and anxiety if we are faced with a particularly difficult decision. Any decision is right, so just decide. And it is *always* a choice so as long as we remember that we can live with the results. In addition, as long as it is not our last day on earth, we can readjust and continue to move forward.

Ready, Fire, Aim is how I choose to live my life. If we wait forever to aim just right, we will never make a decision and will stagnate in comfortable misery.

The  most important part of any decision is that it is made with integrity, honesty and compassion – for yourself as well as others.

Besides, as I learned recently, you can always make a good second impression even if the first one was not quite as you would have liked it. By learning to say “I’m Sorry” with sincerity and authenticity, we can rectify any damage we may have done.

If you aren’t sure which way to go on a decision, try this exercise which comes from Cartesian logic. Ask yourself the following:

1.      What would happen if you do?

2.      What would happen if you don’t?

3.      What won’t happen if you do?

4.      What won’t happen if you don’t?
