Wine Coolers

It is normal for people with add to worry if they're making the right decision in life? Yesterday, in the teachers' mailboxes were placed a brown paper bag filled with a wine cooler, candy bar and popcorn. This is a public school! I am concerned that if I report this to the people in central office that my job might be at risk. I hate this. I wish I could make a decision and just live it.

I always worry if I am making the right decision. It has to be an ADD quality!

I don't worry about being wrong because *nobody* gets to be right all the time.

With that in mind, what's to worry about? Ya get some wrong, ya get some right and in the end most of us average out.

The way to cure the worry is to start making more decisions. Even if you get a few wrong - you *still* get to decide how to fix it... or not!

Best,
Motorbrain

The point here is knowing difference between what's morally right, and morally wrong and that feeling you get in your belly that helps us differentiate between the two.

Don't worry about making the "right" decisions (that's why life doesn't come with a handbook). A person could say that their abortion was the "right decision" at that point in their lives. But they know the difference between right and wrong, right? But still choose to ignore that feeling deep in thier belly that was put there for a reason? Know the difference between right and wrong and make decisions based on that.

What seem to be right decisions now, sometimes turn out to be wrong decisions later, but doing the right thing is never wrong.
