A different approach may lead to different results

I've decided to stay indoors today to enjoy the rain without getting wet. :o) I swear its raining elephants, more so than cats and dogs outside. I love this type of weather, so I'm sitting on the couch watching one of my favorite movies - "Coming to America." While watching this movie for the thousandth time, the thought came to mind..'why do I notice something new each time I watch this movie?'

I don't know the answer to this million dollar question.

So, I began pondering my own life immediately in hopes of finding an answer to this self imposed question...(I'm not crazy, I promise). Without going into detail, I pondered an important decision made years ago that if given the adequate preparation would've resulted in a different outcome. If I was able to revisit the problem as often as I was able to revisit this movie, a different answer or a different perspective would've resulted each time.

Unfortunately life does not operate like the STOP/PLAY button on a DVD player. So, the best we can do is ensure that we think things through thoroughly before making a decision to ensure that we're making the best possible decision. Thinking things through may lead to a different approach and this different approach may lead to a different result.

Remember, you're not in a race. Take your time, think things through. A delayed decision is sometimes the best decision. I will admit that my decision was made rather hastely, but God is good. If you replay a decision you've made in the past, would you come up with a different solution/result? I think so. I think its b/c you're more prepared to make the decision.
