Commit to your choice

I was having lunch yesterday with a couple of friends and one was mentioning about an upcoming lengthy 6 month trip road trip she was about to head out on.   As we asked questions she was unable to answer about her departure I really got thinking about decisions.  What she relayed is that she’s ‘waiting’ on another friend to travel with her but that friend is uncertain of her available departure date therefore our friend is feeling concerned because she needs to be down south on a particular date as she is meeting other friends for an event.  I could hear the stress and concern in her voice as she spoke.

What I stood out most as my friend was telling us about her unconfirmed departure was that she was not making a decision.  This trip is her trip, she decided to take it and she decided on the date she wanted to leave but when it came to someone else joining her for a lift, she lost her ground so to speak and gave the choice to leave to her travelling companion.  Now…over lunch we are hearing complaints and worries about arriving on time for the event down south.

Earlier this year I had a very memorable experience with making decisions which I won’t get into but I will share how it works.  My suggestion to my friend was this: decide what day and time you want to leave for this road trip, tell your friend this is when you have to head out, be clear and certain within yourself when you make your decision.  What happens when we make a decision and commit to it is that the energy is now rooted in our choice, if we are solid and focused our energy will be too, it will fuel our choice. Where as not deciding with clarity about what we want and not communicating it leaves our energy without a direction to travel in, so what happens is that it fuels our worries instead.  It’s good to remember that EVERYTHING is energy including our thoughts and words, so they must be expressed with clarity for clear results.

Try it. Make a decision about anything without any doubt and commit to that choice and watch how easily things come together when you do.
