So much of how we make decisions is based on guesses. They make be educated or informed guesses but if we are honest with ourselves we make choices with a great deal of uncertainty. We can never know what all the possible outcomes are of our decisions. The best we can do is gauge the impact and power they may have. To awaken the greatest gauge when it comes to our decisions, we will want to involve as many levels and parts of ourselves as we can. It starts with determining the gauge of the decision either by its possible impact, people involved, level of complexity, or measurement of success or failure. When we gauge our choices we can also look at how it impacts how we see ourselves behaving in or out of accordance with the truest part of ourselves. The gauge can be about what the decision means about us or what we want it to mean about us. Is our gauge based on the premise that we can be more of the truth of who we are in the world if we make this choice or that one? Is our gauge guided by what other people will think of us? Is the gauge about changing something about how we have been up until this point and now want to change direction? Is the gauge measure from our mind, our heart, our spirit or all in conjunction with one another. Will anyone who does not have the same gauge able to witness the impact of our decision and is that important to us?
