“Right decisions” Blog #8

You couldn’t possibly take a road trip and not have the directions. When you’re

going to pick up a friend, you drive through the city and need to know where you

are going. When you go to the grocery store, you usually have a grocery list to

know what needs to be bought. Yet, every day we often make impulsive, quick,

emotional decisions, without any thought to the consequences. So often, we allow

this person or that person to give us “sound advise” or a specific book or television

show to rule our thoughts. So often we say to ourselves, “its okay, I can think about

it later. If I just do this now, it will make things all better. If I just wait it out, that person

will see how mad I really am at them!” Often in my life, many decisions have been

based on an emotional appeal from someone near me. I believe I have made

decisions to try to help someone in the moment just to fix things.

What is our ulterior motive based on emotional decisions?

So many decisions we make are and can be enabling. They can be manipulative.

Above all, causing a ripple affect and not always helpful. I have now learned so

many lessons in my life how “not to try to fix things for other people”. Just when

you think it will go your way, it does not. However, prayer, contemplation and quiet

meditation is a very good choice. I sit quiet for a few moments. I breathe in

deeply for much added peace. All of this helps me to filter, find and focus on inner

truths. When I was a little girl, I asked my very old grandma a question,

“How do I know if I am doing the right thing’?

This wise, gentle woman smiled sweetly down at me and patted my hand.

She looked at me with kind, knowing eyes saying,

“Its not always easy, but when you feel very calm and not worried or anxious, or

afraid of the outcome, then that’s probably the right decision to make”.

Its all pretty basic and simple, and it makes sense. We have so many decisions

to make throughout each day. We must decide what is best for ourselves and

especially those we are responsible for that are around us. If a decision is

made with love in our heart, it is usually the best decision, I have found that when

I wake up in the morning, right away before I get out of bed, I lay quietly and give

thanks for all my blessings and ask for direction. I ask for help in making the right

decisions throughout my day. I ask for an understanding heart to do HIS will and

not my will. This is my inner guidance system at work. You might also call it “an

inner road map". My internal guide or (my higher self) and my guardian angel

are all in place to help me focus on making the right decisions for today.

This is truly Amazing Grace.

I leave you with a final tidbit: To find your own guardian angel, simply sit very

quietly or lay very still and just ask internally “who is my guardian angel?”

The name will come. Lastly I ask you this,

“Are you comfortable with the decisions you made today?”
