Forks in the Road

Decision Making – Forks in the Road

Alice came to a fork in the road.  

“Which road do I take?” she asked.  

“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat. 

 “I don’t know.”  Alice responded.  

“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t really matter.”……Lewis Carroll  

Do you know where you want to go?  

“You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.” ….Yogi Berra

When we come to a fork in our road of life, it almost always DOES matter.  Do you have difficulty deciding which fork to take?  Begin by practicing on small decisions, those that don’t matter so much.   Stop waiting for approval or agreement before choosing.  Just choose and go. 

Again, Yogi Berra:  When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

 As with all talents, decision-making ability improves with practice.    Begin now, and then, when the next significant choice arises, you will be ready and able.
