  1. We welcome comments and feedback from these power points to utahkrishnas@gmail.com.If you would like take our membership class with power point, please visit our website atwww.utahkrishnas.org

  2. Based on the divine teachings of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaInternational Society of Krishna Consciousness

  3. Decisions, Decisions... • A Faith that Works

  4. Secret of success • Wise decisions > Experience > Dumb decisions

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

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

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

  8. 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

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

  10. 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.”

  11. Knowledge vs. Wisdom

  12. Maharaj Parikshit

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

  14. 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

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

  16. Double Mindednessmost often re: $ Artha...Kama Canakya Niti: Love of Senses Opposed to Love of Wisdom

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

  18. 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.

  19. Foot Lamp

  20. 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.

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

  22. 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.

  23. 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?
