Short Steps (not short cuts) to Making Good Choices

Some decisions are easy, others hard.  Here’s some steps that can help make a few of them a bit easier, rather than leaving them to chance:

1. Keep you eye on the prize.  What is the outcome you want and how do the options fit with it? If you’re not clear about your goal, spend some time to clarify what you want. visualise what you want
2. Use your head and your heart. If you tend to be a rational/logical thinker, allow your intuition to come to the fore and visa versa. 
3. Take your potential decisions into the future.  how does the the future look, feel, sound, taste and smell once they’ve been made? Are there any unintended consequences? How do they align with your desired outcome?
4. Plan the choice you've made.  If there's a big step to take, what would half-way be?  If it's ok, move on, if not, what would half-way to half-way be like - I think you get the idea.
5. Act now.  If you find yourself hesitating, what is holding you back? Is it physical, intellectual or emotional? Imagine for a moment what would you do if you weren’t afraid.  There is no failure only feedback.

Imagine what you want, plan what you imagine, do what you plan
