It’s Good To Have A Way You Make Decisions

Sometimes, at certain choice points, we know exactly what to do. Other times, we’re not so sure. But we each need a way to make decisions.

Some people pray for guidance, some consult oracles, some "Martians" prefer to think by themselves, some "Venusians" prefer to talk with others, some put it out of their mind until "the decision makes itself."

Do you know your way? I think you would benefit by knowing this about yourself.

Do you know how your parents made decisions? Do you want to use their way?

Do you know your partner’s way of making decisions? I think you need to know this too. You might want to ask them.

Do you two have a good way of making decisions together? You might want to develop one. Should it be your way, their way, or a blend?

Think about it. Talk about it. Don’t just put it out of your mind. Have a way to make decisions. It makes life easier.
