Making Decisions with Purpose

Making a decision about what you want to do before, during and after your retirement can be overwhelming especially when it comes to your career. There are so many options available it’s difficult to figure out what is best for you, your family and the rest of the world.

Making a decision was never simple. Today the Internet and technology have complicated it even more.

I believe there is a second reason why making a major decision about your future can be so stressful. It’s true that technology has increased the variables of what you can decide to do but what is more important is the speed with which change takes place – and increases the number of variables.

For example, to drive a car manufactured in the last 2 years you truly need some computer experience. I don’t think I’ve seen a car in the last 5 years that didn’t come with a place to recharge your cell phone. Ten years ago, or maybe just 8, that was an option.

There’s nothing wrong with the questions you ask about your future; they make sense. Do you want to work? Where will you work? Where will you live? What do you want for yourself? For your family? If you don’t have a way to sort it out you can become paralyzed.

My learning curve for the internet and technology is like a roller coaster. So is my life and yours, too probably.  We encounter different phases.  When we have certainty we are balanced and coasting along. Then there’s an event that triggers chaos and we’re riding the hill putting all our energy into just climbing upward and figuring out what needs to be done.

Once we get to the top of the hill we look down and that’s a scary perspective. Now we’re uncertain about what to do next. The climb up has ended and we need to get back down. We feel like we’re in limbo and stuck.

The boxcar will carry you down the roller coaster. Life in general will force you to take action. The question is whether the decision you made connects with your own emotions because those decisions are more likely to success.
Do you have a formula for making important decisions? If so will you share some information about it or email me so we can help other readers make their decisions?  Much appreciation.

To your successful decision making,
