Sit, walk, or run, but never wobble.
Zen Proverb
It's difficult at times to stand up for what's right and it's even more difficult at times to make a decision and move on without letting self-doubt or circumstances make you think you may have made a big mistake!
The important thing is to base your decisions on good information and weigh your options before making that final decision. It almost seems like a cliche, but I still believe that making a list of pros and cons is very helpful when you need to make a decision that requires thoughtful reflection.
I've made some big decisions lately and before each one I've gathered relevant information from accurate sources, weighed the pros and cons, discussed my potential plans with trusted friends, and spent time thinking and praying about the decision. Will taking these precautions guarantee that I've made the right decions? No. However, taking steps to ensure that I'm basing my decisions on good information greatly increases the odds!
What about those times when decisions must be made quickly? I've found that people who are used to being careful with their decisions and choices, seem to develop an instinct....that "gut feeling" we hear about....that enables them to see the big picture quickly and focus on the need at hand.
My challenge to you is to be confident as you make important decisions. Be diligent in gathering the information needed to make the decisions, then trust yourself enough to do it!
Blessings,
Sharon
