Making Decisions can be Difficult

Making decisions can be very difficult, especially if they're a decision that has long term effects. And often, we are uncertain what to do I have been in that place. And I know you have to, well, here's something that maybe we could try that I heard about. And I kind of like this idea. And that is that think about first of all, when you have a decision to make, about what is it? What would life be like seven days from now? Yes. If you make a decision today about something that you want to do, or something that you want to need to do something that you may need to make a decision about, then if you forward seven days, what would it look like? What would life be like in seven days? isn't something that you'd be glad about? Something you'd be ecstatic about? Or something that maybe you will regret? Or you wouldn't like? So what would it be like if you made a decision today, seven days from now, here's the second part of this. Fast forward five years or 10 years? How would this decision affect your life? five or seven years from now? Now, often, our decisions don't have an effect long term. And sometimes they really do. But if you think about what it would be like seven, I mean, sorry, five years from now, or 10 years from now, then that puts it in perspective, doesn't matter what decision it is, it could maybe it's not going to really affect long term. If it is going to affect the long term life that you live, then maybe you should think about it in a different way. So learning how to put things in perspective, and pay attention to your gut on the inside can make a big difference on how well your life goes. Because remember, we live in two year and five year cycles. That means that the decisions that you made 10 years ago, and five years ago is how your life is going today. And the decision that you made two years ago is just now becoming fruitful. So if you practice thinking about forward, how your decisions affect your life going forward, it's a lot easier to make better decisions. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
