How mindful are you in your decision-making?

Allison Mack July 12, 2007 14:44:54

A human being is part of the whole, called by us “universe,” limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons close to us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity and the whole of nature in its beauty.

~Albert Einstein

I let others make decisions for me, as I hate making my own. I don't really consider how those decisions made will affect others.

    Actually, I tend to think of the possible consequences of my actions; how it will affect others, before I amke the decision. Except, maybe, for purchases. LOL

    I consider myself to be a mindful person and try to walk as quietly on the earth as I can. I know that there are many things I do not yet know, but as I know better, I can do better.

    And sometimes I ask my friends for their help, when I can't make the decision on my own.

    You have to take into consideration how your decision will effect other people..
    I mean, there are times when I don't take it in to consideration... especially when I am being selfish..
    But now im at a point in my life where I can't make alot of my own decisions..
    especially since my mom is very protective...

    I have a problem with acting and not thinking. It gets me in more trouble than I can handle sometimes.

    I don't do this all the time. On small decisions, I've learned to do them automatically, but for big ones, I really like to give them plenty of thought.

    Mostly I do the best I can with what I have. It's hard to weigh options when you have a screaming two year old and a four year old pulling at your skirt. But I let God guide me and I use common sense.

    Like most things, it depends on the situation and the extent of the effect it will have on others; however, if it breaks my spirit and takes away who *I* am, I'm doing more harm to others being unhappy should *I* continue to make decisions soly on who and how it's effecting others.
