“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”
– Roy Disney
Lately this quote has been crossing my mind with some regularity.
Election years always leave us riddled with political bullets from any issue that might be considered important to anyone anywhere. And everywhere I go I hear discussions about which side of an issue is right, and who is right, and what choice is the best choice.
And I remember my father teaching me this quote by Roy Disney.
I find that most of my decisions are easy. I gather facts, I weigh my choices, and my values always make the wrong choices clear. They don’t always make a single choice jump out as being the only correct way forward (though that does happen on occasion), but the wrong choices are always evident (except when there is no wrong choice).
The hardest decisions are the ones that pit one value against another, in which case we grow and learn more about our values.
