Your decision posture

Read time: 2 minutes

I want to share something I’ve been sitting with lately.

It has less to do with making decisions—and more to do with what happens right before we make them.

Not the moment where you choose.

The quieter moment where you hesitate.

Where a decision feels heavier than it should.

Where you tell yourself you need a little more time.

For a long time, I thought that meant I lacked clarity.

But I’ve learned it’s often something else.

When a decision feels heavy, it’s usually not because you don’t know what to do.

It’s because you’re already dealing with uncertainty—without realizing how you’re responding to it.

That’s what I call your decision posture.

A decision posture isn’t about what you believe.

It’s about how you relate to uncertainty when a decision matters.

When something feels risky or unclear, most people default to one of three postures.

Fear.
Logic.
Or faith.

Fear sounds like:

What if I regret this?
What if I need this later?

Fear is protective.

It shows you what you’re trying to guard—but it also keeps you stuck.

Logic sounds more responsible:

Let me think about this a bit more.
Once I understand this fully, I’ll act.

Logic isn’t wrong.

But when it stays in charge too long, it turns reflection into delay.

And here’s the part most people miss:

Fear and logic usually aren’t chosen.

They’re defaulted to.

They step in before you realize a decision is being made.

Faith is different.

Faith doesn’t mean blind optimism or reckless action.

It sounds like:

I don’t have all the answers—but I trust this direction.
I’m willing to move before certainty shows up.

Faith doesn’t remove uncertainty.

It changes how you stand inside it.

Fear and logic explain what’s at stake. Faith decides how you move forward anyway.

And that distinction matters.

That’s how momentum is created.

So if there’s a decision that has been sitting unresolved—not because you don’t care, but because it feels weighty—try asking yourself this:

What posture am I taking toward this right now—and is it helping me move forward, or just helping me feel safe?

You don’t need to rush a decision.

But you do get to choose the posture you’ll carry when facing uncertainty.

Sometimes, that choice is the most important one you make.

See you next Sunday, my friend.
