Sigmund Freud and his niece were discussing how difficult it was for some people to make discussions. She asked him how for advice and help with this problem.
He said, "I'll tell you what I tell them. I ask them to toss a coin."
His niece replied astounded, "I can't believe it. You, a man of science, guided by senseless chance!"
He replied, " I did not say you should follow blindly what the coin tells you. What I want you to do is to note what the coin indiciates. Then look into your own reactions. Ask yourself: Am I pleased? Am I disappointed? That will help you to recognize how you really feel about the matter, deep down inside. With that as a basis, you'll then be ready to make up your mind and come to the right decision."
The lesson is that when we struggle with a decision, we already have the answers within us. It just requires that we ask ourselves how we really feel, then listen to the honest answer. What decision are you struggling with? Flip a coin!
