We make a lot of decisions in our lifetime. Some choices as made out of ignorance. Some choices are made from misinformation. Some are made from good information. Many decisions are made out of stubbornness. Good decisions are made from good data.
I respect everyone’s right to make their own decisions. I expect everyone to accept the consequences of their decisions.
Whatever decisions we have made in the past, the next decision is always the most important. Every next decision is an opportunity to right the course. We can’t fix the past. We can, however, accept our past decisions and their consequences and learn from them.
Good decisions are made from good data. It behooves us to honestly evaluate the available data before making a decision. If data are faulty, limited, or absent, we can’t make informed decisions. Unfortunately, good data are hard to come by when those asking us to make decision only share that which informs their narrative and desired outcome.
Choices are personal—and they should be. Wisdom is better to gold (Proverbs 16:16). Be wise in your decisions.
“Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:4-7, NIV)
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
