Hope everyone is doing well. The new ads for You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! should be going up on Facebook and Instagram this week. We are also adding a new product to the website which we will tell you more about once it has been added.

Spring is starting so our grandkids will be back to playing sports. We will have some soccer, flag football, and baseball games to attend.

Now for this week’s story:

In the last number of blogs I have spoken about how science has proven what ancient religions have been teaching for centuries. That the Golden Rule applies – treat others as you wish to be treated, do no harm, however you want to say it. Our goal is to raise other spirits around us in order to raise our own.

But as you know, life is not black and white. So how do we apply the above information and know that we’re making the right decision when we are in a situation where we are unsure of the decision.

During my life I have made decisions that virtually everyone has disagreed with. Not only did they disagree with the decision, but they also vocally told me they were not happy. I tell them, it is my decision to make, not yours. I have to live with the consequences, so I do everything in my power to make sure I make the right decision for me, my family, my community, etc.

Everybody knows I’m an inventor, a crazy one at that. The Doctors have already decided. As an inventor I take all the factual information I can put together, assemble it, and try to peer into the future to see what is going to happen. If I make one decision, I see an outcome. If I make a different decision, I see a different outcome and so on. Once I have the best outcome I can find, I then make my decision.

For me personally I tend to make my decisions very slowly. This is mostly because I am gathering as much factual information as I can, and it takes time. But it also means that once I decide, I will stand on that decision regardless of what anyone else thinks. The only way I will consider changing my decision is if I receive factual information that I didn’t have while making my original decision.

After all, if you don’t have all the factual information, it is highly likely you are going to make the wrong decision.

For instance, and this may be oversimplified, but it makes the point. Let’s say my son tells me that his cat is scared to death to be under the house. However, the dog chased the cat under there. Because of this factual information, I’m now crawling under the house trying to find the cat. With the information I have, this is the right decision. Now my son tells me, after I have already crawled under the house, that the cat has already come out. Obviously with this new information, my first decision was wrong. At this point, I changed my decision, and I came out from underneath the house.

So, the point here is to encourage you to gather all the factual information when making whatever decision you are going to make. Once you have that information, make your decision and don’t worry about what anybody else thinks. If they can give you further information that will change your decision, fine. However, if they can’t give you any further factual information, don’t worry about what they think.
