peeking out of the window, life will not stop. Birds will not stop chirping, the sun will not-not come out tomorrow.
‘Annie’ sang it best: “Clear away the cobwebs and the sorrow. Come what may”
That’s kinda has to be the way you look at the reality of a decision: Life goes on.
If you make decisions from and extrinsic (rather than intrinsic) place, you will definitely be chasing tomorrow, and the world, and the people moving about in it (while finding it hard to clear away your own cobwebs and sorrow–by spending the remainder of your time trying to justify your decision, putting yourself around the situation by which the decision was birthed, and doing any and everything you can to convince yourself that the decision came from a completely sound and intrinsic place).
The fact of the matter is:
When we intend to live after making a decision, we don’t commit suicide alive.
Meaning—when the decision is right and intrinsic, and real, and the REALITY predicted (rather than the head fantasies solicited)…we feel like a million bucks about our decision!
That can’t be denied or defied.
Why?
Because we are flight or flight, self-preserving human beings.
Our first instinct is to protect our well-being at all costs.
So when we intend on being alive after our decision (when we make intrinsic rather than extrinsic decisions); we have already predicted the emotional, mental, spiritual or financial success or results of the decision before the decision was made.
When we make decisions, we only go half-cocked if it was extrinsic and emotional.
And don’t get it twisted, half-cocked decisions are, and can be equally as planned as sound decisions
The fine line is:
The weight of the emotional/half-cocked decision’s decision weighed heavily on the extrinsic response from it.
The weight of the sound decision’s decision weighed heavily on nothing but the excitement of what the emotional, mental, spiritual or financial success or results have, or will yield.
Welp.
That’s Angie’s spiel and personal TED Talk on decision-making. In following me here at OSF, I’m sure if you gathered nothing else
