Make A Decision

By Abe Newmeyer, February 2, 2022

Decisions & Action

There are a couple of opportunities I’ve been exploring. They both have tremendous potential, yet I haven’t decided on either. It’s been too long. I’ve been hesitant and unsure. I have to make a decision. Good or bad, right or wrong, I need to decide.

I’d thought I’d be able to work both opportunities simultaneously, but I was mistaken. They are both new endeavors requiring an enormous amount of clarity and focus. I’m not able to divide my mental energies. In times past, I could do so effectively, but that’s no longer true. Each of these projects will require my undivided attention in the initial stages.

After my team is built and one project is off the ground and generating revenue, I can start the other one. However, I have to choose which one to start with. I have to decide. The etymology of decide is interesting in that “cide” means to kill off. Like suicide, genocide, homocide, pesticide and a few others. I have to “kill off” the other idea, for the moment. I have to or neither will be obtained.

I don’t like making these types of decisions. It’s something I haven’t been comfortable with in my past. That’s why I typically did both things before. Since that’s not the case in this situation, I have to face what’s uncomfortable. I have to or I’ll remain stuck with indecision. Unable to decide so nothing happens, except more time passes. That’s not a solution for me and what I need to accomplish.

Today, Wednesday, February 2, 2022, I am grateful that:

I haven’t lost patience with Veronica’s illness. We have roles within our relationship and mine has changed over the last week or so. I’m kind of self centered, so the changes haven’t been something I haven’t noticed. I’m doing my best to comfort and help her recover and that’s all I’m able to do at this point. If there were more, I’d do that also.

I’m making some progress on my ongoing projects. They’re not completed, but I’m making progress. Some days, that’s all that can be done is to inch a bit closer to the finish line.

I’m feeling more and more like myself. It’s been a challenging few months and I haven’t felt like my normal. I’m getting more into the groove and flow of work and I’ll continue to perform consistently.

How do you make decisions?

Do you use your feelings, intuition, data? What do you use?

How long does it take for you to make those decisions?

Is there a decision you can make today to further you along the road to fulfilling your purpose?

Make that decision and move forward.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
