Help With Important Decisions

I have a very important decision to make in the next couple of days.

When I mentioned it to a couple of friends, they asked how I was possibly going to make such a decision.

Making decisions is actually quite easy, regardless of the consequences that could result from the decision.

In fact, that's what makes it easy! The more important the decision, the easier it is to make.

Whenever I'm going to make a decision, I do two things. First, I make a top 10 list of all the good things that could result from making the decision, and then a top 10 list of all the bad things that could result from making that decision.

In many cases, one of the two lists won't even have ten items on it and you'll know exactly what to do. 

Then I look at things a little differently and use the 555 Rule:

1. What could happen within the next five weeks based on my decision?
2. What could happen within the next five months based on my decision?
3. What could happen within the next five years based on my decision?

If everything is positive, I move forward. If not, I maintain the status quo, keeping my eyes and ears open for another, albeit different, opportunity.
