Life's Decisions and Speed Bumps
Life is a choice. How we live our life is based on millions of decisions that are made on a moment to moment bases. Have you ever thought of how many decisions you can make even in an hours time? I never really thought about it before until I bought a house a couple of years ago that needed an extensive total remodel. I was on site everyday and making so many decisions that my brain ached by the end of each day.
I am the type of person that is very decisive even when it comes to making life changing decisions or large purchases. I have always went inside of myself, into my inner-knowing or intuition. If it feels right or fantastic than I immediately know that the answer is yes. If it is something that I need to think about or something just doesn't seem right than I know instantly that the answer is going to be no (even if I want it to be yes!).
How did I develop this? I have always had this inside of me but as I got older, made some pretty good “bad” decisions, I learned how to fine tune this by listening to what immediately came to mind. I do have to give credit to my spirituality for this great gift. I believe that God wants the absolute best for me and that He would never steer me in the wrong direction.
Sometimes, there are detours and lessons are learned in this journey that we call life. To me, these are speed bumps. Some speed bumps are high that we can see up ahead and run a little faster to fly over them. Some are hidden deep pot holes that we sometimes get lost in and can't see our way out of for a time. We muck around in them for a bit, learn what we need to learn, make the decision to change what we need to change, climb out and dust ourselves off.
I have always thought that how a person gets over the speed bumps is how well they do in life. If someone acknowledges that they went through a really crappy period of time but are still glad that they had the experience, are not bitter or regretful and look forward to everything that life has to offer, than I would say they are doing pretty darn good.
Please share how you make your life decisions and how do you get over life's challenges. Your comment may resonate with someone and help them out.

September 08, 2011Excellent advice stated very simply, plainly and passionately.
If more people could learn to listen to that little voice, their gut et al, there would be a lot more happy and satisfied folk walking around the planet.
Keep up the good work!

September 16, 2011I've read over and over that one of the hallmark's of a leader is being able to make decisions quickly and get into action. If they need to course-correct, they do, but at least they are in action and from there see where the next step is. This is how we move forward. We pick a direction and start heading there. If we run into a mountain, we figure out how to go over it, around it or through it, but the main thing is to keep up the momentum.
