How can you make good decisions?

Aren’t decisions and choices the same thing?  How can we make the best ones?  Here are some simple steps to consider…
  • Develop a clear picture of who you as a person want to become 5 or 10 years down the road… spiritually, family, physically, emotionally, financially.
  • Write it down and refine it with someone you trust… your family or friend.
  • When you consider a decision that you are going to make, will it take you closer to your vision or will it take you farther away from it?
  • If it will take you closer to your vision, it’s a really good decision.  If it will take you farther away from your vision, it’s a bad decision.
  • Never make a major decision when you are not feeling good.  Spend time with a trusted friend or advisor to settle out troubled emotions.
 
No matter what our circumstances are, we all have the ability to choose the better way.
 
Take to heart this phrase…
​

​
“I AM A PRODUCT OF MY DECISIONS…  NOT MY CIRCUMSTANCES”
 
May your life be filled with purpose and joy!

What does sarcasm say about a person?

If you use sarcasm it might be a good idea to ask yourself,
  • What are you trying to accomplish with your communication?
  • What kind of relationship do you want?
  • Are you striving to be funny at the expense of others?
  • Or do you want to build relationships of trust and love?
  • Do you care how other people feel?
  • Or are you only interested in entertaining yourself?
 
Here’s what I found when I Googled ‘Sarcasm’.  Sarcastic people often see teasing as tough love and believe people should be able to handle it. They also think saying, “just kidding” after a sarcastic remark makes it OK, even if it hurts. They usually see themselves as funny people, even if they are the only ones laughing. In reality, sarcastic people usually have a fear problem. They are usually battling either a fear of not being good enough (the fear of failure) or the fear of being taken from (the fear of loss). They need to step back and figure out why they need to be sarcastic.
 
If you’re interested in learning more about sarcasm and how it affects relationships, here’s a good article to read.
