Your life is the sum total of all the decisions you have or have not made, therefore you are where you are in life because you have chosen to be there. If your decisions have placed you where you do not want to be, then only your decisions can get you out of where you are.
Lesson: Your life is your decision!

How many times have you said or done something without thinking? The truth is none, there is no such thing as not thinking before you make a decision. You may not have given enough thought or the right thought to your decision, but your words and actions are simply the servants of your mind. The body does not work alone; it does what it is told to do.
A decision is only as good as the information one has, and the power of that decision is greatly enhanced with the presence of information. Without the correct information every decision becomes a guess, and it is rare to guess right. We tend to rush into our decisions and hope for the best, instead of patiently making the best decision that yields the best results.
Lesson: Right thoughts and right actions don't produce wrong results.

Even though emotions are true feelings, they are not always true facts. In the midst of emotion we tend to disconnect with reason and accept our feelings as reality. This is oftentimes the furthest thing away from the truth. During our deepest times of pain and our greatest moments of bliss, we tend to make our biggest mistakes by doing what feels right. These decisions are usually the ones we regret. You should never make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings. When making a decision remember: All sin promises to serve and please but only desires to enslave and dominate.
Lesson: Beware when all you can see is the benefits, and have never considered the consequences.
