AA Tools - How to make an everyday decision

Making a decision means seeking God's will

This means

• Maximising my usefulness
• Maximising everyone's welfare
• Minimising harm

First:

• What is my objective?
• Is this the right objective?
• Are there other objectives I should pursue instead?
• How do these fit with spiritual principles?

Once I know the objective, I need to work out how to achieve it.
The course of action should be effective, efficient, and harmonious.

Second:

• What are the options?
• What are pros and cons of each?
• Can the pros be achieved some other way?
• Can the cons be avoided or reduced in some way?
• How do these fit with spiritual principles?

Think through
Pray
Meditate

When you want to consult someone:

• Set out the situation as you see it
• Set out the options
• Set out why you're unclear what the best option is
