Sometimes i am really confused and unable to take decisions in some peculiar situations. Today while watching TV i have seen a discussion of Bramha Kumari related to the life. She told that our Purpose and values in life should be very very clear. We should always take our decisions by keeping in mind our values. For deciding our purpose and values we should ask ourselves three questions - Who am I?, Where am I and why am ?. We can take independent decisions only when we get answers to these questions. What do you do when you are confused while taking any decision?

when ever I am faced with something important first I pray and ask God to show me and give me clearity. Then I make a list will this change have more good or more bad effects and finally does this change effect the whole family.

If I am confused, I try to give myself more time to think about things. I rarely ask for anyone's advice coz I do not want to be influenced by others. I'd rather make a decision of my own after seeing clearly what the problem is.

it's nice to have our own goals and follow them so you know your mission in life is why you live. but it's nice when those thoughts are your personal dreams and goals and not when someone dictates them. everyone needs to know who is where and what is going and how it does. nice day and listen to your heart!

Hi roshigo well you are right most people cant take decisions in some peculiar situations.and talking about your Tv show the points told by Brahma Kumari are absolutely right as one should definitely have a clear idea about their work , values and we should try to follow the suggestions of questions who am i, where am i and why am but it is hard to follow these in all cases but we have to try and regroup ourselves by following these suggestions .Happy New year in Advance.

We can make decisions about our values even without having clear goals. I am now finished raising my children. My last child left home last year and for the past years, I felt a little adrift. Not sure what I am suppose to do with my life. I love children and yet, working with children doesn't seem to be where I am suppose to be right now. So, I have been doing little but meaningful things this past year. I like to crochet and especially crochet for charity. Last spring, I was inspired to crochet hats for charity. Had no idea where to donate these hats. Made about 20 of them before I met a woman who has founded a homeless mission. She always gives away hats and scarfs to the homeless at Christmas. When I told her that I was inspired to make hats and didn't know where to donate them, she said that she would greatly appreciate them for her Christmas giving. So, sometimes we won't always have a CLEAR purpose or understanding. If we just do a little something that we may feel inspired to do, the clarity may come later. If confused, then stop and listen to any kind of inspiration. Make sure it is indeed a safe and sensible inspiration and act upon it. The clear understanding and goal may unfold as you start to move forward to fulfilling that inspiration.
