Its not about the decision

8/19/2018

When I think of my coaching clients, I realize they spend a lot of time deciding if they should do x or y.  In fact, many of us, spend a lot of time thinking about, researching, and analyzing decisions.  With a variety of what ifs and if onlys, we tend to drive up our anxiety and stay more stuck than ever.  Many times, this leads to rash decisions to just decide so we can move on.

But what if it was SO NOT about the decision?  In LOA circles, we talk a lot about there not being such a thing as a bad experience or a wrong turn, that everything is for the highest good, even if you have no idea what that highest good is.  If we believed that, then why do we struggle so much with deciding?
We struggle because we think we can get it right or wrong, and we think that is more important than the journey.  Each decision, whatever it is, takes us on a journey deeper into our life path and is a new opportunity for healing.  Each decision is set up for us to have an experience, in which, there is great benefit.

We tend to think of a "good: decision as one that makes us happy and a "bad: decision as one in which we suffer.  In truth, suffering is always optional.  We can suffer in "good" decisions just as easily as we can suffer in "bad" decisions and we can be at peace in "bad" decisions just as easily as we can be in peace in "good" decisions.  Over the past few months, I have really been exercising this choice as to whether to suffer or not. I have realized, I can truly choose whether I want to suffer or do not want to suffer and it is pretty easy, once I became aware of my choice.  
What does this mean for us?  It means, "Don't sweat the small stuff" and, "It's all Small Stuff".  Next time you have a decision to make, instead of being so focused on the pros and cons, sit with it.  The feeling of it.  Choose your intention for your own self.  How can this help me  be a stronger person?  How can this bring me closer to God (Source)?  What good can I create in the world with this?  How can this increase my personal level of peace, love and joy?  Don't answer those questions - just ask them.  Put them out there.  You want that path that will create the maximal healing opportunity for you.  That path may be thorny, but that is ok, if it leads you to a higher place within your soul.  
Instead of asking whether you should do X or Y, ask instead... How can I increase my personal level of peace in the face of this situation?  How can I bring more love into the world based on this situation?  There is always a need for more peace and more love.  Use the "decision" as the event to increase your personal level of peace and love.  When you do, the miracle occurs.  The decision will decide itself and it will really be no decision at all.  Try it and report back!
