Decisions
January 31, 2010
My good friend, Erika Harris, posted an insightful entry on her blog recently entitled “Got a decision to make? This might help.” She had a dream in which she was presented with 3 paths or choices and she discovered that, as she walked along any of the paths, her walking would light up that path.
She concluded that there are no wrong turns or bad decisions.
Her article set me thinking along several lines of thought.
- That in the true nature of our being there is no need for regret of presumed wrong turns.
- That in the true nature of our being we never make mistakes or wrong decisions.
- That we already chose outcomes for ourselves regardless of any decision we appear to make.
- That in order to live fully here, we need to commit to living the true nature of our being.
What then, you might ask, is the true nature of our being?
I knew you’d ask that question. It’s what I’d ask too. So, what the heck – here goes!
The true nature of our being is that undeniable force of consciousness that says “What you really want is already here – so accept it. Who you want to be is already here – so be it. What you seek to create is already being created – so enjoy it.” Or something along those lines. It’s what we know to be true as we surrender everything that we believe we are and all that we are about.
So if there are no wrong turns or bad judgments then do we need to make decisions at all?
My feeling is that decision-making is not a thought based action – it’s more like allowing ourselves to have fun, to do whatever we feel called to, dancing in the power of what wants to happen. Perhaps, as Erika observed, it’s more about following the fun and being light with the steps that we take. Wherever we go is into unimaginable territory where we must allow ourselves to feel the rightness of every step we take. Wherever we go is into the realm of the infinitely expansive – and every step is completely liberating.
My friend Kerim has this to say about making choices “it is all coming straight this way, and all I have to do is loosen a little bit, honour where I am, and let it come in the time that it will.”
To which I add ~ let’s just enjoy and explore what we do as we co-create amazing things in our time together.

Got something to say?
This is fantastic Santari and very timely!! If we could REALLY get what you are saying and pointing to, the stress of life would disappear and we wouldn’t keep recreating old patterns. We have seen our life stories as GOOD REASON to be sad, righteous etc etc but you can FEEL the joy to be lived now ALONGSIDE the story. If only we would pause a moment, lift our heads and start noticing what is different. We would then perceive the choice we have to live in old patterns or start partnering with what we notice is different, allow the joy to enter every cell of us, and adventure into new patterns that serve us and humanity beneficially!!!!
“…the true nature of our being…”
is so lean and clean and unencumbered.
light, takes flight, and need not slumber.
effortless and worry-free.
embracing, learning, all with glee.
much love to you, my friend, and to this sacred and savory space,
