       Remember, the Apostle John has taught us that prefect love casts out the fear from our minds. So, if our minds are full of fear, then what is going on? Making decisions out of fear will usually turn out to be wrong later. I mean, in making decisions out of lack. Sure, we do want to protect ourselves from sin and whatnot, but even with that we need to be careful. Our minds can become convinced that God wants us to do something, wants us to go in a certain direction, or whatever, and really it is just fear that has boiled up inside of our minds and is trying to rule us. Remember then, when we are making a decision out of positive thoughts, out of an unclouded mind, then we know we are on the right track toward greater happiness. When we feel inspired, this is a good sign that we should act, a good sign that we should go in this or that direction. It is when we are hesitant and not sure that we need to step back and think. We need to hold off making any decision because we don’t have clarity. Clarity of mind is what we want. And it’s through this type of decision making process that will really yield that happiness that we want in our lives.
