Seven Aspects of a Making Brilliant Decisions: The Relationship Between Work and Self

Written by Connie Butler


Continued from page 1

The word “Choices” itself gives us clues torepparttar components of good decision-making. I believe that good choices are ones that bring about more ability, more freedom for ourselves and others and ones that allow for continued growth inrepparttar 123093 situation. Here is a way of looking at your daily choices and seeing how they are or are not contributing to this.

C: Creative A good choice calls on your creativity, your interest in finding solutions that may have been hidden. They actual feel good in your body because you can feelrepparttar 123094 energy of your creativity being engaged. This in itself is satisfying.

H: Healthy Faced with a decision you can always look at what isrepparttar 123095 healthiest route both for yourself, for those involved and perhaps even forrepparttar 123096 future. Healthy native cultures often make decisions based onrepparttar 123097 impact they may have for generations to come. We have lost that long-range vision and often make short-term decisions that are detrimental torepparttar 123098 entire situation further downrepparttar 123099 road.

O: Open- Opportunities – Objective Doesrepparttar 123100 decision keep you open to possibilities? Does it bring in a larger field of opportunities? Are you able to make it in an objective as opposed to an emotionally reactive state?

I: Inspire Inspiration is usuallyrepparttar 123101 outcome of a good decision. Even ifrepparttar 123102 solution is difficult orrepparttar 123103 next steps hazardous you know that you are doingrepparttar 123104 best thing possible inrepparttar 123105 situation. Once more that in itself adds to your self-esteem and raisesrepparttar 123106 energy available inrepparttar 123107 situation or system.

C: Connections Isolation of some sort is oftenrepparttar 123108 by-product of questionable decisions. Whether that isolation is from others, our own selves or our talents and abilities. But when we maintain those basic connections we can more safely navigaterepparttar 123109 new and unknown territory that some choices bring.

E: Empower At then end ofrepparttar 123110 day do your choices leave you feeling empowered –repparttar 123111 author of your own decisions or do you feel caught in a web of confusion. Ifrepparttar 123112 later is true it is time to stand back and begin to take a larger view ofrepparttar 123113 issues at hand.

S: Soul Finally choices that both utilize your connection to your soul and serve to support that bond are those that will bearrepparttar 123114 richest fruit.

Ask yourself – does this choice call on creativity – does it lead to healthy actions that support an open attitude and opportunities that lead to inspiration of some kind – empowering you and others to maintainrepparttar 123115 soul-repparttar 123116 energy –repparttar 123117 heart and guidance available in each moment. Choices such as these create energy – not drain it- they feel good to us and atrepparttar 123118 end ofrepparttar 123119 day we can rest easy knowing that regardless of outcome we have donerepparttar 123120 best that we can.

We arerepparttar 123121 authors of our lives and our business. Although we are each within a larger field of forces, history and pressures each of us has at our disposal creative wisdom, connection and creativity that help us navigaterepparttar 123122 sometimes-chaotic landscape of each day.

“Feelrepparttar 123123 truth of what you are and atrepparttar 123124 same moment act. Risk yourself for what you know is right and true.” Fredrick Douglas, escaped slave from an Independence Day speech

Baby Boomer Redemption

They will personally take onrepparttar responsibility to provide full and profitable employment for all those who want it, not on a mere national scale, but a global one, because their successes will be documented and published globally. They will create worthwhile global models. They will shedrepparttar 123092 national fraud that we are better because we have more than everybody else. It is as though a generation has patiently awaitedrepparttar 123093 opportunity to take their message aroundrepparttar 123094 world.

Neither is it to be expected that U.S. Baby Boomers will be alone in their efforts. Most of those born of World War Two veterans are of common spirit and ready to move beyond social criticism to social activism. We see it with Bill Gates and Ted Turner, Wayne Dyer and Oprah Winfrey. The list of progressive thinkers grows daily and globally. Boomers were sadly deficient in role models. No more. We have them for us and generations that follow. This makes allrepparttar 123095 difference.

In ten more years philanthropists and global charities will be asking how much they can do with a dollar, instead of how many dollars can we raise and waste. How much difference will that make in social progress? In ten years consumers will convert to disciplined customers and prosumers. People that choose to produce more than they consume and put it onrepparttar 123096 market at pricesrepparttar 123097 poor can afford. In ten years corporate power will de centralize and move back to informed people as has been promised for a hundred years by those consolidating corporate power. In ten yearsrepparttar 123098 people will dare to say no.

In ten years forgiveness will be a political option andrepparttar 123099 cause of violence will receive more attention thanrepparttar 123100 violence we now call news. In ten more years there will be such a wholesale de centralization of power, political, religious and economic,repparttar 123101 whole earth will sigh with relief.

Few today feel free enough to imagine such a future but then,repparttar 123102 future has never depended onrepparttar 123103 many. It has depended onrepparttar 123104 visionaries andrepparttar 123105 corruption of their visions byrepparttar 123106 war and power mongers. They have had their day. Their work is done. The corporate puppets that pass for government are dying off and giving up. Wisdom is replacing rhetoric and popularity, winning new supporters and contributors every day. If you can't see it, perhaps you haven't really been looking. As we approach what seems to berepparttar 123107 end of civilization, we begin to appreciaterepparttar 123108 joke that has passed for civilization for six thousand years. It dawns on us all that we finally have a chance to declare global bankruptcy in all areas of life and truly make a fresh start.

Christian Scripture, corporate power and current events all argue that things will get much worse before they get better. The end time message is: prepare, prepare, prepare. Take it or leave it!
