I also like looking at the why of things. If you have a strong enough 'why' then you can accomplish just about any how. Just have a reason and then figure out how you're going to go about making it happen. If you ever have any doubt about something simply come back to why you are going about doing this. You can have more than one why too. The why is the strength. The how is the way. Good article! :) .-= Eric´s last blog ..<a href="http://bluepop13.com/2010/01/22/the-way-i-blog-with-ease/" rel="nofollow">The Way I Blog With Ease</a> =-.

It is very simple: Be aware that you are making decisions anyway! Even when you believe that you are not making decisions, even when you don't take action, you are still making decisions! When you realize this, you will have the option of making a decision that moves you closer to your goals, or allowing that something happens that moves you away from your dear goals. All the best! Boris Gordie,

Good call on making the decision with goal in mind. Then, we don't have to think about the decision, and can focus on how we are getting further. Decisions are usually small pieces of a larger story, so getting weighed down by one is like spending 30 minutes trying to find the spot for a piece in a 500-piece puzzle set. Putting the goal above short-term gains can be hard, but those who do get both short and long-term gains. .-= Armen Shirvanian's last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TimelessInformation/~3/XhnYfxlVu7w/" rel="nofollow">Discussion On Long Versus Short-Term Efforts</a> =-.

What great advice. My favorite is “accept you made the right decision.” In the past I use to make a decision and then start second guessing myself. Not good!

It's so hard to make a decision when you know you'll be in turmoil over it even after you've made it. Decide beforehand that your decisions are final. You're a grown-up.
