Week of August 15-21:  Decision

In Your Personal Life:
What you do today affects what you do tomorrow.  If you procrastinate on making a decision that will affect the experiences you will have one minute, one hour, one day, one week from this present moment, you will not be the same person you were before.  This is so important to understand.  By understanding that you set your direction every minute of the day, you will be aware of how you make your life interesting and full of life or where you allow yourself to be loyal to outside influences and pressures.  Only by being loyal to yourself first can you truly be loyal to others.  This means that you are always setting an example for others to follow your leadership.  When we talk about spiritual leadership, we are really referring to the decisions you make every day of your life that affect your happiness and how you are leading others.  Everyone has to make their own decisions.  Sometimes the best way to help others is to make sure you are heading in the right direction for yourself.  Then, they will respect what you do.

In Your Business Life:
How successful can you be in your business life if you do not make a decision?  No very.  Others depend on you when you are interacting with them to make decisions that are positive and create an energy of moving forward.  If you doubt yourself and wait until conditions are "just right", you may miss your timing (Energy of the Month).  Decisions are very important to timing.  If you make one decision that may affect thousands of people down the line, it is not important that you are working with your inner sensitivity?  Think about that.  If you make a decision that you know is right for you, then others can make their decision as to whether they will be a part of it or not.  This is how the world works.  Just think of the billions of decisions that are made each day that affect you and everyone else.  If you don't make a decision, then others around you have to make a decision about your lack of decision!  Be directed and honest with yourself - and everything will fall into place.

In Your Social Life:
Do you know how to control the lives of everyone around you?  By not making a decision.  That's how!  In order for your loved ones and friends to feel secure around you, every decision you make will help them see what decisions they need to make in order to make their lives the best it can be.  Flexibility and patience are important when you are in a relationship with others, but do not wait until they have made a decision before you act.  If you cater too much to other people's emotions instead of their true feelings, then you could be making the matter worse.  What you do now affects what they do in return.  Take a big deep breath when you are in an environment where there is a lack of decision-making.  Make up your mind which direction you want to go and watch how others simply fall into line.  Did you know that this is what people are looking for?  We are taught to think of others so much, that we will wait until they have made a decision before we decide what we want.  This is backwards.  You have to decide what you want first, then everyone will know what they need to do.
