Read Exodus 18:12-27. The point that I want to bring out here is that Moses was making many decisions that he did not have to make thus wearing himself down. There may be many times when we feel that we have to make a decision alone. However, sometimes it would be most helpful if we either got help from someone or if we can delegate the decision making process to someone else whom we trust.
Therefore, try asking yourself the following questions when you are confronted with a situation that seems to demand a decision.
* Do I have to make this decision, that is, is a decision necessary?
* Can someone help me in the decision making process?
* Can I delegate?
Never feel that you have to do everything yourself. We are tempted to think this way because we want things to go a certain way—our way. However, sometimes it is more effective and efficient to get help or even to delegate the decision to someone else if that is applicable.
Advisors
The President of the United States have advisors to help him make decisions. Company officials also have a similar advisory board structure. This results in the load of making the decisions being spread out over different people providing different insights, perspectives, and experiences.
Do you have an advisor or advisors. Your advisor may not be the same for all situations. However, it is good to know who your resources are. Who can you talk to about certain thing. Your goal for the most part is not to turn the decision over to them but to acquire information that will help you ease your decision making process. It is also easier on your mind.
