Is That a Decision or a Choice?

This morning I chose an egg sandwich. My mind wanted a reason. Tuna has more protein. Why the bread? I simply chose the egg sandwich, because I chose it.
Decide comes from a Latin root meaning to cut, to kill. A decision is heavy. Right or wrong, better or worse, a whole case built so I can kill off the other option. And often it just lingers. Days, weeks, years.
A choice is lighter. It needs no reason.
In this jam I share a client who was stuck on a decision with everything riding on it. We put the snow globe down and let it settle. Within fifteen minutes he saw it. The answer had been in front of him the whole time.
We also look at feelings. "I don't feel like it" is weather. It's welcome, and it makes a very poor judge. So I ask one question: who am I serving today? Then I choose.
The experiment for your week: next time you catch yourself going back and forth, ask it. Is that a decision or a choice?
Then choose.
