Everyday we are making hundreds of decisions. Decisions about what time to wake up, what to wear, what to eat, where to go, how to get there etc. Some decisions are not huge life-altering choices and are seemingly easier to make. If I decide to wake up at 5 am as opposed to 5:30 am, I can make that choice rather easily. When I decide what to eat for lunch, I simply ask myself, “What do I feel like eating?”, and if it is readily available, I will eat that. Many times these daily decisions require little to no assistance from anyone but ourselves, giving us the freedom to follow our emotions, inspiration, and our own feelings to choose between choice A and choice B.
Then there are the other decisions.
You know, the ones that feel huge, life-altering, oh-my-goodness-I-hope-I-make-the-right-choice, kind of decisions. Those decisions are much less easy-going and can create a lot of anxiety, frustration, and worry. Decisions about what house to buy, what career to choose, or what partner is right for us. These are the decisions we talk to our friends, parents, spouses, and co-workers about in order to ensure we are making the right decision and yet, even with the advice from so many people, we still question some of our choices. 
I guess you could say many of us believe that someone else knows more about us than we do. Maybe they are more experienced, more educated, more successful, etc., and in our eyes, they know what is best for us. The problem with always consulting someone else on major life decisions, we lose our sense of power and freedom. When we believe someone else knows what is best for us more than we do, we are giving away our power to someone else and in turn can lose our confidence to make choices in the future.
How many of us made a choice for our careers based on someone else’s advice. Maybe we thought that a certain field would be more profitable or we would be more successful in it, yet we always knew it wasn’t the best place for us.
The truth is some of us (me included) have been taught to believe that there is a right and a wrong decision in life, but there isn’t. There are simply choices that will lead you down one path or another (or many). There is no formula that you can use to determine which is right and which is wrong because it is different for every person.
Bummer huh?
So, how do you know what is the right career path, product, partner, business decision, etc. for you?
The best way is to listen to your intuition. You know that feeling in your gut that causes you to pick up the phone to call someone just as they were going to call you for something. That’s the one. It is also what I call leading with your inspiration.
When you follow the same principles for the big decisions as you do for the little ones, you learn to trust your intuition. Did you consult with all of your friends and family members before you selected your breakfast this morning? Probably not. You most likely followed your intuition or inspiration for what you wanted to eat.
The same goes for making any other decision in life. Sure, some of the bigger decisions may require some research etc., but if you can quiet your mind and get in touch with what you are feeling, you will be able to feel for the best decision for you.
In my coaching, I work with my clients to help them get more in tune with their inspiration. I encourage them to follow what feels good to them and to listen to their internal compass (their emotions) to decide what is right for them. As they follow their intuition and lead with their inspiration, amazing opportunities and big shifts happen in what we are working on.
