When You MUST Make a Decision

“Evil doesn’t need you to stand with it. It wins whenever you don’t take a stand.”

―Mike Wittmer, Our Daily Journal

With any decision, it is always a safe assumption that you do not know enough.

So what are you going to do?

Not make decisions?

Plow ahead and ignore the voice in your head raising alarms?

Wisdom is finding a middle ground.

First, ask yourself if you must be the one who has to make this decision. If the answer is yes…

Then ask yourself if the decision must be made now. If the answer is yes…

Then ask yourself: “What is the wisest thing to do with the information I currently have?” Then go for it.

After all, to not make a decision because you don’t have enough information is a decision. And usually that is not an options. Life has to be lived with uncertainty…everyday.

The ONE THING for today: Life can’t be lived perpetually on the sidelines. Lack of full knowledge is not an excuse to checkout. Make the wisest decision you can and don’t look back. Worse case scenario you’ll learn something and that will help you tremendously next time.
