Daily, we are faced with making decisions. Regardless of the situation, most people intuitively know what the correct decision is for them. Yet, how often do we either fail to take action on the decision or make one that is not serving our highest purpose? The way to make great decisions on an ongoing basis is to clarify what is important, what our values are, and what we want our contribution to be. With this personal insight we are in a position to make choices based on staying true to ourselves.
Additionally, you will know when something that is not appropriate for you shows up and be willing to not entertain thoughts around this area. This applies both personally and professionally.
For example, I have a friend who is an avid cat lover. She surrounds herself with her cats and things that represent her love of cats. During a period of career transition, she interviewed with a company that used cats for product testing. Cats perished in the process. Although this is very uncomfortable for her she almost took the job, rationalizing that she could comfort the cats after the testing period.
After careful consideration and a very truthful conversation with several people who are also cat lovers she realized this would not have been a good situation for her. So although she would have been generating money, the feeling around the money would not give her the feeling of abundance. She chose to turn down the job. Shortly thereafter she was offered a job that was an excellent fit for her personal and professional values. Interestingly, the job she was offered had better benefits, better hours and paid more. Attracting abundance is very closely linked to honoring who we are. Fact is, you can have all the material things you want but if they don't honor your spirit and heart, they don't honor you.
Choose your decisions wisely and abundance will flow.
