When In Doubt To Decide

When you are in doubt Your not certain what to choose The several items that are needed You ponder, ponder to decide Still unable to choose Walk away from it When it is hard to choose Only one item to purchase Think which one you need the most Is the only way to do it

'walk away from it when it is hard to choose' Sometimes even indecision is a choice, so we have to choose the important things anyway. This is a beautiful piece of writing Darlene De Beaulieu.

Hi Darlene, You are so right. So often when I'm in doubt, the best strategy is to put the question aside for a while. That often clears my head so I can see the right choice clearly. You have a great day!

Hello Thomas Wells, yes that is right. I often go away empty handed. Sometimes I can not make a choice at all. Thank you and you have a great day to my friend.

I do the same thing with most everything. If I can't decide, I let it rest awhile. And if I still can't decide, I usually find that I can do without both. Great write! Thank you for sharing.

You presented the steps well, Darlene. Another, is too never be tired when making a decision. Another is to talk it over with someone you trust. Finally, the best one**.sometimes it is best to make no decision at all. Pangie xx Pangie
