Good Morning,

Life is a learning experience from the day we are born until the day we draw our last breath. We are constantly called upon to make decisions, some major and life changing while others are minor and, in the overall scheme of things inconsequential.

For some, the thought of making a decision is traumatic. Fear of making a mistake, fear of failure, fear of peer dissatisfaction are but a few of the thoughts that race through the mind.

We will all make wrong decisions also known as mistakes. This is a part of life. Our task is to learn from those wrong decisions as well as the right ones we have made and use that knowledge to improve our decision making skills.

Let's not be the possum in the old joke: "Why did the chicken cross the road? To show the possum it could be done." The chicken made a decision based on experience and acted upon it. The possum just stood in the middle, frozen saying what if I am wrong. You know the outcome.
