The Art of Making Good Decisions

Lately, I've been hearing from friends who are struggling to make the right decision. "I want to write a book but I don't know where to start." "I'd love to quit my job, but what would I do?" "I've always wanted to travel but can't find the time." And in a way, they’re all saying the same thing: they’re scared.

    Theres a difference between procrastination and not caring. One by fear and one by enlightenment

    Thank you. It's been true for me a whole 3 years straight, I needed this. I have written 1000+ goals and to-do's without even doing 99% of them so that was a big waste of living wasn't it..

    The Art of Improvement yes! If we get used to see it, we start to percieve the meaning behind the turnarounds and path changes. We are too afraid of getting lost to understand that we're not really that much in control of the destination, we can only improvise here and now, because we are always becoming someone different with differente objectives. Anyway, the providence is very generous, we just have to act and get a grip on the oportunities!

    First raise your life condition. [Easier said than done!] That way you should be able to see the woods from the trees. As your foundation, and stance, determine to create maximum value in every situation and take 100% responsibility for your decisions. Keep advancing by creating value - i..e. making positive causes. Beware of 'yapping dogs', in other words other people's demands that they are ultimately responsible for; stuff that they expect you to do for them ! Get some guilt free rest, fresh air, organic food, detox, decluttering via selling/donating/recycling + spend the money on good books and more organic food ! Up to you !

    Waooooo. This just hit me in the midriff. Its actually easier to steer a moving craft than a stationary one. Once, was battling with what to do? how to do what to do? where to go? when to go? Like Jeff says just start, go somewhere anywhere its easier to change direction when you get up and get going. I took a chance now I have something to do and things are moving!
