Decisions and the bigger picture

Decisions. We make so many in our lives. From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed, our days are filled with opportunities to make decisions. Some are grand in scope, determining the sort of life we will pursue in different seasons; we choose this particular job, to start or end that particular relationship.

Some decisions that appear minor, like not speaking up in a meeting or choosing to delete a text in progress, are made in the span of seconds, on impulse or intuition, or based simply on raw emotions. Some decisions are almost habitual, reflecting something about who we are: the decision to ask for what we want, or to speak up about what we don’t want, to choose to apologise, or choose not to apologise.
