Decisive Action for Life Direction Class Outline

Newsletter Article (May 2011): Decisive Action for Life Direction

Decisiveness is the key to moving forward with confidence. Our inner insecurities that are based on unpleasant past experiences and anxiety about unwanted consequences keep us in a quandary of indecisiveness at times. Follow simple basic principles of resoluteness.

The rational decision-making process consists of:

• Identifying the problem/question
• Developing alternative solutions/resolutions
• Implementing the decision
• Evaluating effectiveness

Consideration for cost, risk and outcome are examined in the process.

Assign a weight of importance to each consideration to facilitate prioritization.

Choosing the best alternative become clearer when you can visualize the hierarchy of possibilities.

Intuition plays an important role in decision-making, especially in decisions that must be made quickly.

Intuition is the inner guidance based on feelings, experience and accumulated judgment.

Effective decision-making:

• Focuses specifically on what is most important
• Follows logic and consistency
• Acknowledges subjective, objective and intuitive thinking
• Requires only as much information and analysis as is necessary for resolution
• Is straightforward, reliable, easy to use and flexible

A simple concept I was taught many years ago is that we should worry less about making the "right" decision and accept that many decisions we make are not between right and wrong; but between this and that. So if we allow ourselves to move forward and MAKE a decision with the resolve to MAKE IT RIGHT, then we always make the "right" decision.

Strengthen your ability to be decisive with clear volition and authority.

• Know yourself.
• Trust yourself.
• Honor yourself.
• Believe yourself.

These four simple phrases can empower you to be decisive and take action to propel your life in the direction of your choosing.
