Decisions, decisions, decisions. Life is full of decisions. Sometimes it isn't easy to decide what the best course of action is. Sometimes it's all we can do to face up to the fact that we need to make a decision. If it happens to be a very important decision where the outcome could change our life or dramatically affect the life of another it can be much more frightening. What do we do in times like these? If only there was a simple guideline we could go by to help us to make the right decision. Oh wait; there actually is one.
As an alcoholic, who also happens to come from a dysfunctional family, I know what it is like to live in fear and to make decisions based on that fear. Even though fear is a great motivator it does not guarantee a right decision. In fact it can lead us to make a wrong decision. Love, on the other hand, will always lead us in the right direction. If we respond out of love to ourselves and others we can rest assured that the outcome will be rewarding.
I choose to surrender to the love in me - not to the fear.
