What Has Been The Best Decision of Your Life So Far?

Hello!

Best decision I have made so far in my life is a little complicated, so I will try to simplify it to tell…I accepted the Lord as my Savior is by far the best decision, by far. However, when I did that, I became 'religious' and self-righteous, and extremely judgmental of others. There is a huge difference between being religious, going to church and wearing a t-shirt that says, “Jesus loves you” and loving Jesus heart and soul and having a relationship with Him. God showed this to me, in various ways and I made a very monumental decision to love people, as Jesus did, without judgment and feeling like I was 'better than”. I discovered the very people I was supposed to be loving, were the ones I was condemning with my heart, thoughts and actions. I'm ashamed to admit that, now….but feel so free to love others, because of it. Hope this makes sense, it was an awesome transformation in my life.

I have to say to marry my husband and start my family. I feel so blessed everyda y even when the laundry piles up, the house is a mess and there's no money in the bank. We can still all sit together and play and laugh, life is GREAT!

Well actually there are two decisions that I believe were the best decisions I ever made. However, they go together, so I'll tell them together. The first and most important decision was accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Having said that, I was only 11 years old when I made that choice and like most people as I got older, I didn't really have a relationship with God unless I needed something. I forgot to share time with my best friend. I forgot that God was interested in talking to me every day. I forgot to thank Him for every blessing He had provided for me and my family. I forgot! Fast forward many years, no real troubles so far in my life (btw, that's the key to knowing that you're doing something wrong as a Christian because Satan isn't bothering you..hehe) and then one day my teenage daughter ran away. She had been gone for a day and it was starting to get late int the evening. I was beside myself with fear and worry. I cried, called everyone she knew, walked circles in my kitchen floor, wringing my hands, just shaking in complete terror, going over and over every possible worst case scenario in my mind. As I was standing there in my kitchen not knowing what to do, I had a CD that my sister had sent to me playing in the background, not really paying attention to it until all of a sudden I heard the word “surrender” in one of the songs. It just so happened to be a Contemporary Christian CD. To this day I cannot tell you the name of the song nor the artist. It was just that one word that jumped out at me. So, this was the time I made the second most important decision in my life. Standing there in my kitchen, bawling like a baby, I dropped to my knees right there and I gave my child back to the Lord. He had reminded me that she wasn't mine in the first place. She was His. I felt an immediate sense of peace and an overwhelming calm came over me. It was indescribable. One hour after that encounter with God, my daughter called and asked us to come pick her up. I am convinced that God wanted to remind me of WHO was in charge and it wasn't me. In this situation, I had no power whatsoever. There was nothing I could do, no bargains I could make. God wanted to remind me that prayer should have been the first and most important thing I did. Once again, I had forgotten Him but I never forgot that moment in my kitchen. My daughter is now in her twenties with a daughter (tehehe) of her own. She is a wonderful mother and a beautiful, blessed Christian young woman. And I will never make the mistake of forgetting my most precious friend, Jesus. Sorry that this turned into a mini novel, but, well, hey…you ask!! : ) Peace & Prayers

There have been numerous great decisions in my life and even more disasterous one…but the very BEST decision I ever made in my life that will affect me eternally was in accepting Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior in 1065.

Then the second biggest decision was to discover and commit to the Biblical Principlles of Life and Economics.

Chronologically speaking – leaving home!

My wife and giving my life to christ

My best decision so far in life has been to live my life on own terms . now i feel i try to resolve my problems on my own rather than depending on anyone .

not comparing myself with others….am unique in my own ways

arina tel me ur best decisn n worst 2……

The best decision I have ever made was very very difficult at the time and scary but had I not chose that road my life would have been very different, It was to walk out of a violent abusinve relationship afeter 7 years, and free my self to be able to think freely even though I had 2kids to walk out with and bring them on my own, I enjoyed FREEDOM which is PRICELESS.

My desicion to marry early at Just 24 and thereafter this same woman led me to Christ. This singular desicion added every other thing to me. It was a personal rational desicion and I feel happy each time I remember those moments back in 1999.

I can give you few of my decisions, which I feel any normal man can adopt to change his life to Happy/ Healthy conditions. This actions/ decisions are initiated by me 12 years back and I am happy that each one of the following actions helped me to grow every day as compare to the past ten years service life before 1998.

1) I attended a 7 days course on Self Improvement , Stress Management, Time management, Goal setting in 1998-99.

2) I started buying and reading books on PMA( Positive Mentle Attitude) then onwards.

3) I started listening and watching spritual lecturs on TVs early morning before going to job. They inspired me and motivated me towards upliftment as Human. I realised my powers as Human and can think the solutions for own problems. Nobody else is going to solve your problems but you.

4) The best decision I took then to resign from job in own contry and started working for other contries, where the value of my skills was much more compare to my own country. Anyone can check the self skills v/s the income by comparing the value of same skills in other contries. Many times you will find the good value of your services where scarcity is observed. Finally to fullfill your desires/ dreams/ goals/ plans/ requirements, you need money as power. Do not think this as materilistic talks. With out good bussiness nothing hold much value unless you become saint and started working for humanity. Even there you need financial support from other bussiness people to run the institute successfully. So if the services to humanity is the goal, the doners to such services are equally valuable part for humanity. So earn and donate, simultaniously fullfill your desires/ goals for financial freedom. This require equal courage/ decision making/ plans, faith and actions.

I wish all humans shall read PMA books for 1 hour a day, instead watching TV for hours together.

All the Best and whishing everyone a growth in porposeful life…..

Hi Kanderson,

Having a loving husband and a strong family is truly a blessing. But, I believe, it is also a lot of inner work. What makes your family so wonderful is your and your husbands attitude, your love and your willingness to make each other happy. Thank you for your sharing. If I ever need relationship advice, I know who to ask.

Hi KWG85,
I would like to thank you for sharing this very important lesson with all of us. When I've read your story, I actually imagined all the terror, helplessness and desperation of losing your own child. I do not know how I would act in this situation – I'd probably do exactly what you did (starting from calling everyone I knew, to bawling, to praying).
God sometimes truly works in mysterious ways to remind us that we shouldn't take anything for granted and to bring us closer to Him. One of my mentors has once told me, “If you think that something (or someone) belongs to you, climb the highest mountain and let it go. If it comes back to you – it's yours. If it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with. It always belonged to Someone else.”

An idea that you might not be the only one in control may sound too unpractical to those, who are used to count only on themselves, but to me it is empowering. It reminds how blessed I am for everything I have been given and it makes me feel grateful, loved and cared for.

I hope that it makes sense.

Hi Susan,

Thank you for your sharing and your trust. I'm very happy that you have made a right decision to end this relationship. It takes a lot of courage and mental strength to say “No more!” to an abusive husband, give up financial security and start your life anew. Your story can undoubtedly inspire many women up there, who are trapped in a similar situation, but stay with their husbands, because they believe that children need a father or because they are afraid that they won't be able to make it on their own.
Thanks again for your sharing and enjoy your freedom!

Hi Ravindrathakur2000,

Thank you for your kind words and your feedback.

You story is, indeed, similar to my own. I'm glad that you made that decision to quit the job you didn't like and start your own business. Decisions like that, even though they hard to make, turn out to be very rewarding in the end.
I hope that your business will continue to grow but, most importantly, bring you joy and satisfaction.

The best decision of my life was when I was baptized and added to the church.

I’d like to think that best decisions I’ve made in my life involve the decision to act. The way I see it, most people decide to do nothing and let things pass them by. And then they complain about having a tough life and being unable to get what they want. We are the masters of our own fate. And if we really put our minds into it, it’s possible to attain whatever our heart desires. All we need to do is act.

P.S. I found this perfect complement to the article above. This one talks about the power to live your dream life. Click on this http://sn.im/z1egz if you want to find out more on how to make your lifelong dream a reality.

my best decision so far has been to marry my wife and raise a family. my children are obviously the reason i was put on this earth. i am so blessed and everything i ever wondered about before is now clear when i look at them. my life, my work, my health, is all for them. this is a tough world, and it's only going to get tougher, so it's up to us parents to make sure our kids are as prepared as the possibly can be.

To be with the woman I was to married. I love her, we broke up… I love her and want to spend my life with her o good life. I failed me and her THE PAST IS GONE AND THE FUTURE IS YET TO COME. Not blind nor static in this matter, she loves me I know I feel. Now walking happy yo 'conquer' her again. In my road I am open to all possibilities for that is what I seek TRUE LOVE. She, Gabriela is the one I love now and ever as two free complete hearts. The more I love myself in a healthy way the more I love in general. My heart is open for a new relationship not for a while for a life time. I hope and have faith Gabriela will be the ONE it will be a new relationshipe with her to. If not is ok¡) soon two persons will be free bounded as one but two for life, me and Gabriela or me and ? soon.

I am employed by a national Oil Company for the past 23years. It just occured to me start a busines. Since i bought a truck to start haulage side busines,the happiness of the current action has been so great!

Let go of a toxic ‘relationship’ in fogginess to me and her and move on.

Thats in not my photo is my fathers wonder how it is there.
