3. 3 Based on the divine teachings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada International Society of Krishna Consciousness

4. Decisions, Decisions... A Faith that Works

5. Secret of success Wise decisions > Experience > Dumb decisions

6. Dangerous Intersections Text We don’t always have a clear handle on every intersection we come to in life: Financial, family, relation, work problems

7. Double Minded A double minded man is unstable in all his ways

8. Most Miserable Person Unstable relationships, lack of commitment, In or Out? Switching careers Inconsistent with your children

9. Jekyll Hyde Want to do God’s work & yours at same time Know what’s right but do wrong anyway Sunday sing hymns, Monday AWOL

10. Instability From Indecision Admit Your Need Ask for Wisdom Anticipate Help

11. Abraham Lincoln “I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day.”

12. Knowledge vs. Wisdom

13. Maharaj Parikshit

14. 2. If you had one wish... Krishna the ocean of Wisdom, is pleased when you ask for wisdom. Additionall y gives influence, property, long life.

15. 3. Expect an answer in faith Ask the right person & ask in the right way with faith Who doubts is like a wave of the sea, tossed in the wind. “Loves me, loves me not.” Prayer not last resort, should be first option

16. Krishna never exhausts resources Krishna is the model for giving. Krishna gives joyfully, not grudgingly Krishna gives cheerfully, continually, generously.

17. Double Mindedness most often re: $ Artha...Kama Canakya Niti: Love of Senses Opposed to Love of Wisdom

18. Free Will He didn't give you the freedom to choose and then override it to make all the decisions in your life.

19. Wisdom in His Word He will not make the right decision for you because He wants you to grow up. Maturity in the is making decisions the way Krishna would. Don't blame God for indecision.

20. Foot Lamp

21. Chance or Choice? Victim of Circumstances The quality of your life is determined by the decisions and choices you make and the wisdom that is behind those decisions and choices.

22. Greatest Decision Who's going to be number one in your life?

23. Definition of Sin I look back now and think, “Why didn't I make that decision sooner?” The smartest decision you'll ever make is to put Krishna number one in your life and get in tune with God's plan. We choose to do what we want to do rather than checking in with the Lord. As a result we're separated from God. God feels far away and distant. He closed the gap.

24. Where You Going to Get Wisdom? Some of you don't even know it but you've got an important decision coming up about your future. But the most important decision is not about your marriage or your business. The important decision is where are you going to get your wisdom?
