When you make a decision
resulting in an ugly
aftermath, you refine what
you want in your life.
It's often not possible to know what you do
want until you experience what you don't
want. With every decision, you will
experience consequences. Use those
outcomes as a jumping off point to something
different (and better) in your future.
By feeling the pain from a
decision "gone wrong," you
enable yourself to bask in the
magnificence of a decision
"gone right."
You will not know light without darkness,
love without pain, nor courage without fear.
When you are experiencing something
unwanted, embrace it. That situation, person
or thing will allow you to recognize (and
treasure) the brilliance of that which you
desire when it becomes yours.
For every "failed" decision, you will
make a "successful" decision.
Even if you don't hit the mark every time, by continuing to
make decisions you are realizing several of your life's
purposes: to experience, to learn and to feel. Although not
all decisions work out, when they do, there is nothing more
life-affirming. And, when you get a taste of this
gratification, you are inspired to move towards more of
what you crave.
You will make no mistakes. You only
will have experiences.
Start thinking about "bad" decisions as learning
opportunities. By spinning every decision as a chance to
learn, you will completely rewire your brain. This rewiring
will lead to different thoughts and beliefs. When you start
believing differently, your world will unfold differently.
How this unfolding manifests is your choice.
