If you are not one hundred percent satisfied with the current
status of your life as it is right now in terms of anything
including relationships, finances, career, parenting, etc. there is
only one thing that you need to assess and that's your decision
making process.

You see, our lives are shaped by our experiences and all
experiences are the result of a decision.

If you decide to touch a burning stove, the result will be that you
get burned. If you decide to jump in a pool of water, the result
will be that you get wet.

Sometimes however, the result that we experience from a decision
isn't so clearly visible prior to making that decision.

In other words, we think that by making a certain decision, we will
achieve a certain result but somehow that result turns into
something else. And that's when things get tricky.

And this is why if areas of your life aren't moving along as
planned, you must assess your decision making process.

Decisions are driven by two things; the confidence in one's ability
to achieve a certain result and more importantly, emotions.

The reason why I say "more importantly" is because emotions
ultimately guide every decision and will always override one's
confidence.

For example, if you decide that it's time to get fit or quit
smoking, you can have all the confidence in the world in your
ability to achieve those goals but if your emotions point you in
the opposite direction, you will ultimately never achieve those
goals.

Therefore, to truly enhance any areas of your life, you must work
on both your confidence and your emotions.
