Have you ever been trapped in between choices, unable to decide which one you like best? And then after you have made the decision, you suddenly felt that you preferred the other choice better?
Whenever I’m faced with that kind of dilemma, I have a simple trick that I use to find out which one of the choices that I really really want. Simply take out a coin, assign the choices to head or tail, and flip it, covering the result with your palm.
Then listen closely to yourself, in your heart, which of the outcome that you are silently wishing for, head, or tails? Most of the time, you’ll find that you are secretly wishing for a certain outcome to happen, i.e. “please come out heads, please come out heads” – and voila! That’s the choice you really wanted.
Good luck!

What if the coin flip was not favorable? Than what? What I’m trying to say is, whatever choice you made, you should have a reason for making that choice. Why leave it to chance to support your decision?
Sarah:
What I meant is, you can find out what you really wish for if you do the coin flip and listen closely to what your heart says. Notice I didn’t say look at the result.. in fact, you shouldn’t look at the result of the coin flip.. just keep the coin after finding out what you were (secretly) wishing for.
That’s right. Just follow your heart.
errm… actually that’s not what is meant. what i meant in the article above was on how to find out what your heart really wants.. it does not necessarily mean it’s the right thing to do…
