What sort of decisions do you have coming up today? Do you know what you’re going to do about them?

Have you made any preparations (like asking a friend for advice or reading a book on the subject) so that when the time comes you can make a sensible decision? Do you have a framework within which you make your decisions—lifetime goals and moral and ethical standards?

When you answer the question, How is my life working? your answer is going to depend very much on the decisions you are making—today, tomorrow, next week—which can impact the rest of your life. It may depend even more on the decisions you have not been making. Because, among the things that make life work, the ability to make decisions and act on them ranks right near the top of the list.
