Making The Right Decisions In Life


There are moments in our lives that we feel completely lost.  It looks as if everything we do, plan and expect are not turning out the way we want it to be.  Sometimes it seems that fate is working against us and opposing us from all directions.  This is where we are in a quandary on how to put our lives back to the right perspective.   Once we are faced with choices that will affect not only our personal life but that of our family or people close to us we tend to be chaotic in making decisions.  Commonly it is a tussle between our personal happiness and growth or the wellbeing of persons close to us. How to make the right decision then that will affect not only our own life but these people too is a tough task.   

As there is no blueprint to guarantee a right decision, perplexed we resort to asking for divine signs to help shape our  judgment.  We hardly ever realize that the signs are just out there glaring at us.  We just have to be sensitive to recognize it. Try to listen to our hearts.  If it says it is then it is.  An opportunity at hand may present a great promise of material abundance and glory but if we feel that this is not what the Lord wants then let us reconsider our options.  Listen to the voice of the Lord within us for He will show us more possibilities that will give out more than what we expect.    Don’t ask from the Lord for signs but pray for His divine guidance in making decisions.  

Although God give us the freedom of choice but we should make every effort to pick the right one.   If faced with alternatives which are all laudable, choose the one that is most morally acceptable.  God answers us in practical ways and talks to us in languages that could only be understood by the heart.  He gives signs that we should be able to discern by consulting our conscience and listening to our hearts.  Sometimes our choice may not be financially rewarding but the joy and inner peace it brings are priceless blessings worth more than any material thing or grandeur.

Situations  that appear to be complex are more often than not had been conjured by us.  Do not be blighted by problems but treat these as tools designed to make us stronger and wiser.  Get ideas from people close to us and well meaning friends.  They maybe mediums used by God for us to be aware of His messages.  Life is simple we should not attempt to make it more complicated to really enjoy it.
