Choosing Well

Moving forward boldly with your decision-making process is essential to your success in your career and in all aspects of your life. Career coach Linda Markley () notes, “Many people put off making choices either from a fear of making the wrong choice or simply not getting around to it. Paradoxically, not making choices is harder work in the long run. If we make the big choices about what we want in our lives we have a direction, a blueprint against which we usually make the small choices (like what to pay attention to, what to do next) more obvious.”

Book Excerpt

Champion Your Career

Markley offers the following quiz to help evaluate just how effectively you are choosing:

1. Is there joy, lightness and ease in your life? Always? Often? Sometimes? Rarely? Never?

2. How often are you wholeheartedly involved in what you’re doing?

3. How often do you feel good about what you are doing and who you are with at that time?

4. How often do you feel stress or strain?

5. How often are you bored?

6. How often do you regret having committed yourself yet continue anyway?

7. How often do you miss something important to you (like fun, time with loved ones, exercise, study, growing your business)?

8. How often do you consciously choose?

9. If you could do anything with or without anyone, how often would that coincide with what you do?

10. How much of your life is better than it was this time last year?

11. How much of your life will be better this time next year?

“People who choose well have more of what they want in their lives,” says Markley. “Indecision is exhausting. Choice is freeing.”
