Why is it so hard to make decisions? People analyze, agonize, question, and dwell on making many decisions in life. I’m not talking about what to have for dinner or what should I wear today. I am referring to questions like, what career path do I choose? Should I marry the person that I am dating?
We spend a lot of time teetering on decisions when time is an irreplaceable commodity.
What if I make the wrong decision?
Is there a better option or something better for me?
How will people react to my choice? Will I be judged?
These little voices rattle around in our head, sowing both hesitation and doubt. It can be an exhausting dance with no clear finale, causing many restless nights. Confidence is a difficult state of mind to master for most of our finite lives.
This why prayer and mediation are so important. Answers can be found when we are quiet and focused without distraction. This clarity will help make decisions more confident .
As with being human, decisions we make can backfire and turn out to be the wrong choice. It will happen. Worry, strife, over analyzing, and agony will not yield clarity. It will only fog it up more, extending the cycle and steering us in the wrong direction.
Purposeful focus will lead us into a more confident decision. God has given us the ability to reason and has planted a seed in each individual that will grow if we tend to it.
Prayer and meditation.
Be still and know I am God.
It is time we stop “toein’ the line” and use our time in this life wisely. You will make wrong choices, but most can be corrected. Search for guidance the divine maker has crafted into your soul. It will not lead you astray.
