Those Tough Decisions



We don't always make the right decisions but most of us mean well. Our choice of action may be too hasty, may be biased or may be deceitful. While these choices may have been stuffed with ill-will, good things can come out of any bad situation  - a blessing in disguise.

This goes back to the 'throwing under the bus' post. There are days when we are thrown and days when we do the throwing. Some times, it's just that we need to stand up for ourselves and the unfortunate person in the way get trampled or run over.

However, we always want good will extended to us. Therefore, we have to send good will to be able to receive same. We can't seek to set traps for our brother and expect to prosper. If we say we are trying to be like Jesus, which is a very tall order, we have to seek to do right to our brothers and sisters.

I have been repeating for a while that strong leaders make have to make tough decisions that can alter the culture of an organization, business or a nation. They can't be thinking about harvesting negative behavior to be successful. If we want positive outcomes, we have to give positive input. So instead of willfully making a bad decision, like to trip your brother, take that energy to do something that will uplift your situation, your attitude and the same brother.
