There are so many factors impacting us today. We are often called to make decisions that will change the direction of our life, or that of loved ones. It could be a health-related matter for our self or another dependent. God gave us the ability to reason. It sets us apart from animals who mostly react instinctively. Reasoning begins with observation. What we see and hear then allows us to put the current situation into perspective. At this point we must decide on a course of action if the present situation will not resolve itself. Then is the most important step. We need to do something to change the current path that will lead to more damage. Once we decide on a new course we must be decisive.
