Decisions

Life is full of decisions and most individuals take a lifetime to master the ability to make one. Don't get me wrong, each of us make decisions daily such as what clothes to wear, what to eat, and what to drink. I'm talking about life altering decisions that come from defining choices we make throughout our lifetimes. One person's decision that all of us know about and judge continuously is a not-to-be-mentioned pro football player that retired, un-retired, retired, and un-retired only to have a certain situation replay itself - OUCH!

We're all excellent at judging other peoples decisions just like we all like to talk about Mr. pro football's decisions. But what about our decisions? What about the decisions each of us make such as going to college, quitting college, quitting high school, quitting a job for another one, having kids, not having kids, getting married, getting divorced, etc. These are life defining moments that creates two different life long paths. None of which should be taken lightly.

Although we are all adept at judging others we ought to spend some time to get comfortable with ourselves to make decisions without the fear of judgement. Judgement comes from insecurities and there is no room in decision making for insecurities. Each insecurity that we have moves us further and further from making good decisions.

In order to control our insecurities we need to identify them and be comfortable with oneself. To accomplish that we all can use help. You may find it with a friend, a spouse, or find it on a bended knee with an open heart.

The best part about decision making is that there is no right or wrong answer. Decision are choices and choices are individual. Try to put some more effort into your own decisions and leave the judgement at the door. Besides only you would know if placed in the same situation whether or not to retire, un-retire, retire, and un-retire as the pro football player we all love to talk about did!

Until next time...
