In Australia, where I live, there is a huge mountain range called ‘The Great Dividing Range’.
I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved this name … it sounds so GRAND.
I was sitting this morning having a cuppa, pondering titles for the Happiness Principles that I’ll be sharing with you. For some reason I started thinking about ‘The Great Dividing Range’, AND THEN the phrase: ‘THE GREAT DECIDING” popped into my head, and I thought to myself ‘what an excellent title for Happiness Principle Number 1’.
Now I wouldn’t be surprised if you wanted to run a mile from someone with this kind of thought process, but there you go, we’ve all got our little idiosyncrasies. So!
Happiness Principle 1: The Great Deciding
That moment in your life where you choose happiness for yourself. When it becomes crystal clear in your mind that you will no longer allow other people, and old limiting self beliefs run the show.
Sometimes, ‘The Great Deciding’ can be set off by someone else, or an event in your life.
It doesn’t really matter what the catalyst is, the final decision to choose happiness for ourselves, always rests with us.
Hope you’ve had your Great Deciding, and if you haven’t yet, it’s never too late.
I’d love to hear from you if you’ve had a moment of Great Deciding, and share it with me. Always love hearing from you,

This is a great example of using what is all around us for inspiration. I bet most people have read the sign but not allowed their brain to ponder on it and use it for other things. Julie you have a unique brain!
You are absolutely right about it taking only a second to decide.
Too often we put off making the decision but once we have it is a relief and we feel charged to move forward.
You obviously had a Great Deciding moment Davina, when you started up Graphic Design Tutorials ! The decision’s important, but it helps if you’re a bit mad too 🙂 Another skype soon? J x
