The Right Decision

Some days I often contemplate my life & where I am in it.  I wonder about different decisions I have made over the last few yrs.  I think were these decisions correct, should I have chosen differently.  Early this morning I woke upset asking for guidance on decisions I should make.  I wanted the correct answer.  Then finally the answer came.  It is something I had known all along, but really came to terms with it this morning.  In reality there is NO right decision on anything.  Only our judgements say it is right or wrong.  Of course we should pick the decision that doesn't make us miserable, but we also choose to feel miserable.  I don't need a correct answer, only guidance & a small glimpse of road ahead of me.  My instincts tell me which path to go & then I choose to be happy or sad about my choice.  And really why should I allow my decision, the one I feel so passionately is the right one, why should I allow it to make me sad?  Instead I should be firm that I am happy & love this decision I have made.  I am here for others, to serve them, love them & not judge their behaviors or choices.  They, too, don't judge their choices as wrong so neither should I.  I decided a long time ago to serve my life un-selfishly & to really serve my life for others.  It is a difficult road for me because my natural habit is one of selfishness.  That is ok though because I would rather drive the spiritual path for myself & others!  So next time you have a decision to make remember first that each choice is correct & are you choosing for your own selfishness or are you choosing for the benefit of others.  That is the real choice!

I was JUST about to email you the other day and ask you to write "something" lol I don't know... I guess I felt like, "c'mon... I know you have something to say!" :)

As I read the post I found myself saying, "yes, yes, exactly" There is no 'right' or 'wrong" decision. There is simply the decision we make, the path we make for ourselves and our feelings about it. That's it. I have not made mistakes, I have had no failings. I made decisions. I walked the path and at that time in my life, I lived the decisions I made.

We are simply on a path and we are here to experience the experiences that come from the choices we make.

Wonderful post Cherith!

Thanks Des. I feel like you, Laurette & I have some deep spiritual connection where if our thoughts get so loud we hear each other. The day before Laurette announced smiling in public meetings I was about to call her & tell her we need a spiritual community that meets & replenishes each other. Of course it was like midnight & I wasn't going to call that late, but the next morning I woke up to her email. :)

It really takes alot to put any type of feeling out there for me. I'm beginning to see how much I feel naked & embarrased to say things like this. My feelings are so hidden from others & I'm not sure why I don't put myself out there more. I guess it is just another onion layer in my spiritual journey.
I really feel blessed to have you in my life! :)
