Decisions..

[Mescalito]

..when it comes to making a decision.. I figured for me that for all scenarios the best general way to face it, would be to look at it from as many mental angles as possible before choosing the direction in which you physically express that path. When I see only a few angles then I am looking for more before making the decision.. within the 'time frame'. What would you suggest to someone who was having a hard time making a decision..?

go with the flow, harmonize. the harder it is, the more stubborn you're being. if there's something that needs doing and you're having a hard time deciding to act on it, try to find out what beliefs you could be holding which would make that decision seem difficult. it's always a matter of perspective.

i would also say that as the expression of your energy goes, there is no separation. there's nothing to sacrifice yourself for and there's nothing to take advantage of. it's all you; how stubbornly do you cling to the sense that it's not? that alone determines the difficulty of making choices.

keep in mind that you only have control over so much. you can choose what to do and you can choose how you react to others' choices. in any given situation you are always offered a chance to create harmony (if you don't see it, you're being stubborn again ), but you can't force anyone to sing along. remain calm and balanced. frustration is the symptom of a hungry ego.

I definitely agree. I am being asked to make a decision regarding my business and the direction it's going. In this case, I have to ask myself which side is Loki (money/security) and which side is following my true excitement? Furthermore, one side makes me feel fearful and antsy, so naturally I want to follow that side because it's security. The other makes me feel liberated (and a bit scared at the same time) and very open...possibly vulnerable. Definitely vulnerable, actually. And that is where the trust steps in...or has to step in if you are going to feel comfortable while taking a risk. I know the beliefs that make me feel scared to go with my excitement is focusing on lack or possibly unworthiness to receive abundance. In fact, I would imagine this is what holds most people back from simply doing what they want to do rather than what they have to do.

I can see it clearly now and while it's pretty hard to believe that this is what it has come to, it also makes complete sense at the same time. Sorry for being ambiguous...I could explain the specifics but I really think they are irrelevant to the thread.

Perfect timing, btw.

I can't decide what to post.

You just did!

Hmmm, I think that looking at it from different angles is a must.

I also believe that you have to look back at other important decisions you've made in your life, and how they may have impacted you.
How did you feel at the time of the decision making, and did you let guilt or fear hold you back....regretfully?

Or did you just go for it with no regrets?

I don't know if this makes sense.

make a poll on yahooka?
