On Making a Tough Call

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because, in that brief moment with the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.”

    And if you don't know what you're hoping for while the coin is flipping – then clearly you should go with the outcome of the coin toss. :)

    Michael,

    Cool quote and Aaron, I love your comment… its true.

    Sometimes I don't know what I want till I decide. After choosing an option, I realize that wasn't it. So the coin toss works for me also.

    If I can't decide when the coin is in the air I can go with the outcome..BUT after choosing it, I may realize it's not what I really want.

    Sounds psycho!

    I think I actually heard Craig Groeschel describe that in a sermon before, although I have absolutely no clue what sermon it would have been. It would have been at least 3 or 4 years ago. So…I think I just offered zero value to the conversation. Oh well.

    My motto is "If in doubt don't" but that's because being the very decisive person I am I usually know my decision before I finish asking the question.

    However I like this idea and think I'll be quoting this to my indecisive friends :)

    Clearly; Joanne Kathleen Rowling too writes, “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
