It sounds trite but when it all boils down to it, life is nothing more than a series of choices followed closely by the outcomes and effects of those choices on our lives.
>
> Pretty simple really. All we have to do is make the RIGHT choices every time we are faced with a decision point!
>
> How hard can that be?
>
> Impossible, of course, is the answer and no matter how much we analyze, study, prepare, investigate, and research our choices, inevitably - at some point- we are going to make what is perceived to be the WRONG choice!
>
> No one is immune to it!
>
> But think about HOW MANY choices we make in a day. Sure, some of them seem trivial in the grand scheme of life, but even trivial choices and decisions we make every single day (sometimes hundreds a day) can impact our lives in a major way!
>
> How often have you heard horror stories about someone making a seemingly small choice during their day only to have that choice be the difference between life and death? (Think Sept 11, 2001)
>
> Or how often have you heard of someone's choice saving or impacting someone else's life by what appears to be sheer happenstance? (Think September 11, 2001)
>
> If we break it down like that it can be overwhelming and downright frightening to think that "what time" I leave to catch my train can have lasting ramifications on my life and the lives of others!
>
> Overwhelming, scary, paralyzing, and also fascinating!
>
> Well, I have a way to avoid being overwhelmed, paralyzed, or scared by the cavalcade of decisions we face daily:
DO NOT WORRY and follow your heart!
>
> I can hear you now - "What does that garbage mean?". " That is a bunch of BS, etc....
>
However, I truly believe we have a guidance system in all of us and that guidance system is operated by a higher Power!
Call it what you will! God, the Universe, Holy Spirit, Karma, etc.
>
> I believe that the choices WE SEEM to make, and decisions WE SEEM to choose are actually chosen for us!
>
> Sometimes however we do not listen to the right choice in our hearts.
>
> Sometimes we do not even know we CAN listen to the right choice and completely miss it!
>
> As Bono of U2 sings "How can you stand next to the Truth and not see it...."
>
> Well, that is often us and it is because we do not ask for the right choice to be shown to us!
>
> I will take it one step further too. I believe there are NO WRONG choices in light of what are lives are supposed to be!
>
> A dear friend of mine just made a life altering decision with her career. I happen to believe that she made the RIGHT decision, yet others when given the facts may disagree based on their own life situations, value systems, fears, and opinions.
>
> So was it the right choice to make?
>
> I say ANY decision made with a pure heart of love, Faith and Trust is the RIGHT choice to make!
>
> I believe that if you ask for the answer and you choose in Faith, you WILL NEVER make the wrong choice!
>
> Sure, it may seem wrong at times, but you must look at the big picture and elongate the results before you know if it is "right" or "wrong".
>
> We are led down paths - not by our own doings - but by a higher Power!
We MUST have faith, COURAGE, confidence and Trust that we will be led to where we belong!
>
> I KNOW my friend had been led there and I am proud of him!
>
> And I know he KNOWS it too...
>
> So choose with these qualities in your heart and NO amount of FEAR can ever lead you astray!
>
> Stay Strong and God Bless!
