Making up your mind, Dear One, does not need to be such an amazingly complicated, confusing, stress inducing, emotionally painful experience, don’t you know.

The reason that it can feel that way, almost traumatizing at times, is that very often, before any action is even taken, you imagine the end result of every possible future outcome based on the decision that you are about to make, and you mourn the loss of every possible outcome that might never come to pass.  And that could drive anyone mad.

The truth is, Dear One, that you have absolutely no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring, or the day after that, or the day after that.  And you have absolutely no way of knowing for sure what opportunities will or will not become available to you as a result of the choices that you do or do not make today.   So don’t waste your time stressing about it, trying to figure it out.  It won’t help.

But, what if, as an alternative to making yourself crazy when it comes time to making up your mind, you decided to make yourself happy instead?

Did you know that any decision that you make joyfully, from a good feeling place, regardless of how impetuous or how well thought out it may be,  will always bring you closer to the joy that you are seeking than any made from a place of tension, stress, confusion, turmoil or emotional distress?

It’s true!

Just something to keep in mind the next time you have to make up your mind about something, which will mostly likely be any minute now.
