Have you ever been aggravated because your mate won’t make a decision? How about your boss or a co-worker?

And no matter how much you prod and poke they want you to make the decision. Or maybe you are the one that hesitates on deciding.

There is power in deciding because it moves you from inaction to action.

Why hesitate? Well, perhaps you’ll have more information when you wait. So where is the balance?

In life, not everything goes right or wrong immediately; you have to stay focused so you can watch the trajectory of your decision to make sure it lands you, and everyone else involved, where you want to go.

Take a moment and think about the following questions. Do you:

1. Focus on one data point to the exclusion of an overall strategy?
2. Waffle on the objective that is guiding your decisions?
3. Think someone is out to get you instead of simply not agreeing with you?
4. Fix the problem, without addressing underlying foundational weaknesses?
5. Ask for a commitment from all parties to make sure you have agreement?

If you don’t play, you are a spectator, and any “decision” you make about how anyone else should play, is just nonsense. Whether it’s a relationship (your opinion) or business (what you would do) it’s useless, unless you’re a player or coach.

You get feedback on the best play when you’re engaged in the game. You find out over time if your decision works or doesn’t work so you can make adjustments.

So the decision point is how to move the ball forward in the game to win. Whatever the “ball” is in your life, relationship, business, or getting started in a new direction; the question to ask is:

What decisions will win the game?

Personal: What decisions are fulfilling?

Business: What decisions are profitable?

Body: What decisions produce strength, flexibility, healing, and balance?

Mind: What decisions expand thinking?

Spirit: What decisions grow love?

So the practice this week is to notice not simply what your decisions are, but how you make them. What are they in service to?

Let me hear from you about using this inquiry into decision-making. This week, I’ll make decisions that are fulfilling and profitable, as well as healing.

My love goes with you as you work with this Uplifting Moment.
