"Smart Choices"

Photo: Lake Mapourika, NZ

A dear friend , who lives in New York, uses a system of decision making from a book titled: "Smart Choices -A Practical Guide to Making Decisions".
He very kindly spent over an hour with me, working through this system to help achieve some clarity on all my available options, and how they are impacted by my feelings, considerations, fears, logistical concerns, etc.

"PROACT" is an acronym to help go through the sequence.
After thoroughly going through all the "stuff" that came up regarding my current situation, my dearest friend then busily typed away to capture and summarize everything that I said. He did this so that I could later review all of the key factors, thoughts, priorities, etc. regarding my decision.

It really did help to put things in perspective. This is a great tool, and I would highly recommend it for decision making in many areas.

'Thank You', my brilliant helper!

Helpers are wonderful! I know I have many at this moment. Huge gratitude and love to you all.
