“We achieve inner peace when we have come to a definite decision. Until then, our lives are in the shaky land of what if.” ~ Coach Carolyn
I know when I have reached a decision about something, I immediately breathe a sigh of relief. Why a sigh of relief? Because up until then, I have been living in limbo about whatever it is that I need to decide, and I cannot let it go so God can then take it and work on it. Up until then, it has been weighing on my mind, pressing on my own heart, and pending within my spirit.
Making that decision means being able to release it to God to be made manifest. Making that decision means that I have gained inner peace from the struggle of holding onto that choice. Making that decision is also about loving yourself enough to free yourself from those inner struggles and releasing them to a power greater than ourselves.
Just for today, take the leap, make the decision, let go and let God. Then, you will have inner peace.
Coach Carolyn
“It’s easy to forget that the circumstances of our day-to-day lives are the results of decisions we made yesterday, last month, and last year. We don’t wind up thousands of dollars in debt because of one extravagant purchase, nor do we gain thirty pounds as a result of one decadent dinner. And our relationships certainly don’t end overnight because of a single heated argument. We are where we are because of the decisions we make every day. If we want to better understand how we have created our present-day reality, all we need to do is look at the choices we made and continue to make along the way.”
Every important choice we make is being guided by one of two places: either it is an act of faith or it is an act of fear. Faith opens the door to a new future… while fear keeps us rooted in the past.”
From The Right Questions: Ten Essential Questions to Guide You to an Extraordinary Life by Debbie Ford.
Just for today, think about the choices you are about to make. STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK:
"Am I making this choice based on faith or is it based on fear?"
Choose wisely,

REVIEW: The Right Questions
"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration; I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated." ~ Goethe
The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
