Struggling with a decision?

"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind." -- Dale Carnegie

Our anxiety level spikes and we wrestle with whether to choose option A or option B. Fear of making the wrong choise sets in. When this happens remember, with deep gratitude, Susan Jeffers’ sage advice:

There are no wrong decisions! Whatever we might choose in life will bring valuable experiences if we are open to receive them.

“Lighten up! Whatever happens as a result of your decision, you’ll handle it!” -- Susan Jeffers

Love, Lani

How True.   We will live with the results of our actions.   The consequences of our actions.  


I was always afraid to make mistakes as a kid, teenager, etc.   Anyway, I never learned that with any action comes a consequence.   (even as a sober person)           That's why if you recite the Serenity Prayer---


the final line:     The wisdom to know the difference.....   you begin to realize that there is a result to every ACTION or REACTION.   


And we must learn to face it.......or learn to respond instead of react....     or to act instead of react....or pay the price of an action,   learn from taking a certain action or reaction......and so on.
