Making Choices

I've decided to ask myself some questions when deciding how to spend my time, energy, money, resources. In my quest for a richer, more meaningful, productive life, I will ask myself --

Does this serve God, my family, friends and community?

Will this improve or strengthen my relationship with God, my family, friends and/or dogs?

Will this improve or benefit my health and well-being and that of my family, friends and/or dogs?

Will this create or support a loving, nurturing, joyful environment for me and my family?

Will this provide inspiration, focus and time for writing and other creative endeavors?

Will this eliminate stress and help me to be a happier, healthier, more whole wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend?

Will this lead me closer to the accomplishment of my dreams in regards to working with/helping animals, writing and acting?

If I can honestly answer 'yes' to at least four of these questions regarding a decision, I can do it. If not, I will say 'no' and reevaluate it another time. Let's see how it changes my life and the lives of those around me!!!
