Over the last several weeks I have marveled at the number of life altering decisions about the future that my friends and family in New Orleans have made in response to Katrina.
How do you make decisions? Here are some key questions to ask: Is it selfish? Is there an ulterior motive? What’s the upside or downside? What would happen if I did or didn’t do it? Is it reversible? Or will my decision benefit and illuminate others?
Take time to get clear. When you know why you are doing something, you will not only benefit others, you will also brighten your own future.
