Decisions- Where are our principles?

The decisions that we make everyday effect us in a life- changing way. So many times we don't think about the consequences of our actions, and we end up regretting our decisions after we have suffered from those consequences. In Dr. Laura Schlessinger's book, "How could you do that," she said time after time that we need to think before and act later. There are three cases that come to mind from her book that show us how we should act in the business world today.

The first case that comes to mind is the one titled "But... Being good doesn't make me happy." She talks about a woman named Carey, who has been married for thirteen years and has three children. She started to have an affair with a guy and she starts to feel guilty. She tries to justify her actions by saying that she deserves happiness. Dr. Laura makes her ask herself questions concerning the consequences associated with her actions. Her questions are centered on the family that she is apart of and if these consequences will truly bring happiness.

Almost every one of these cases that I read deal with affairs relating to the work force. I know personally know that I won't have to deal with this because I won't even date a person unless I believe that I can spend the rest of my life with her. I believe that if I do all that I can to make my marriage happy and keep a good clean conscience with God, then I shouldn't have any worries. I really believe that if we put our faith in God and we trust him to lead us in the right path, then we can't go wrong. In this book, no one lets God direct his or her path. I guess the main thing that I received from this book is that if our lives aren't right with God then our lives can go down the drain.

I know that I will be faced with this problem when I get married and I'm in the business world. Wh
