Deciding or choosing?
These are two words that often are thought to be interchangeable; I submit they are not.
Deciding is the process of selecting between two or more alternatives, based on information. The problem is that once new information becomes available, the decision will likely be changed. And when even more information becomes available, the decision will likely be changed yet again. And again.
Choosing, on the other hand, is focused on the outcome one wants to create and thus is not dependent on information. The act of choosing creates intention and from intention flow results.
So the next time, dear reader, you find yourself on the cusp of a decision, take a step back and determine if you are deciding or choosing. Which do you want? Which one will create results for you?
