I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 111.

This is a podcast about making decisions

but also about making a life.

Many of the decisions we make are second nature.

Well, I'm here for the ones that aren't.

Some of the choices we have to make in life

are just flat out difficult.

Others we think should be easy,

but for some reason they trip us up.

We all want to make our choices

with wisdom, courage, and discernment.

Weekly we talk here about one way to do that well

and today's no different.

In fact, here at the beginning of the new year,

it seemed fitting to come back home

to one of the most foundational truths I hold onto

when making my own decisions.

On the surface, it may not sound like it has to do

with decision making at all, but well, it does.

Listen in.

Sweet it all!
