How to make the right decision

Decisions, decisions, life is full of them. How can we make a good decision when our gut and logic don't agree? We have all had situations where our heart tells us to go one way but the advice of others tell us to go another way. How can we make a good decision when we are feeling torn between these two voices?

Marie Forleo gives great advice in this video and shares an example from her own life where she was tempted to listen to the advice of others but chose to go with her gut feeling. Marie's decision ended up being one of the best things she has done in her career.

4x7: Sheri Fogel

Life is filled with choices that we need to make, and sometimes we get ourselves in trouble because we don't know what advice we should listen to. Our society is filled with voices telling us what to do and what choice we should make. We also have different voices in our own head, some are for us and others haunt us. It's not always easy to know what voice we should listen to when we need to make a decision. Sheri Fogel shares an example from her own life where she made a foolish choice and teaches us how we can know the difference between wisdom and lies.

Lasting love

Last week my parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. I'm so proud of my parents for taking care of each other through all the years and for hanging in there through both good times and bad. They have given me such a good example for what a happy marriage can look like.

Me and my husband bought a Canadian wedding cake for my parents' anniversary and as we were celebrating them I asked my Mom what her advice is for lasting love. My mother answered that she thinks having a very good friendship at the base of the relationship is very important. She said that the passion comes and goes but the close friendship is what always remains and keeps you together. Knowing that even when you are having a bad day and aren't being so nice, you are with someone who understands you and will love you regardless. I can only agree with my mother's advice. It's like the saying: "when we deserve love the least, we need it the most."
