Deciding,
choosing and planning

plans. We have so much we want to do, but don’t take the time
to choose what is best for us.

We have an illusion that we can have the perfect body, work 40

a book in the evening, keep a spotless home, have a constantly
passionate marriage, volunteer at church and school, keep up with
