Placed for a purpose: discerning God's will when your heart wants to move. With the summer months especially, many of us can find ourselves in a place of wanting to travel, change jobs, or mix up something in our lives. However, when we have a continuous desire for change, how do we know if that is from God? How can we discern His will vs. our own wants and desires?In this episode, we invite Hannah Bidne, our college ministry intern, on to discuss discerning God's will versus our own wants and desires.

We all make a LOT of decisions a day – over 35,000 a day according to estimates. A lot of those choices have an immediate effect on our happiness. They also have a long term effect on our progress. Lucy Hone studies the habits of resilient people. After her three children tragically passed away in a motor accident, she used one sentence a LOT to deal with the aftermath; “Is this helping or harming me?” Using Lucy’s experience let’s explore this idea further, and take the struggle out of decision making.

"If you let the small decisions paralyse you, you'll run out of time to spend on the big ones." In this episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, Kate and Owen dive into the art of making better financial decisions, inspired by the great Annie Duke (and her fairly new book, How To Decide). Financial decisions we make today are among the most important life decisions we'll ever make, so it's critical to focus on ways to make those decisions as effectively as possible. In this ep, we explore why making good financial decisions is so important, the dangers of a process called "resulting", how to build your own decision-making framework, and overcoming "analysis paralysis".

Making big life decisions can be risky. But when you take a look at people that have the courage to take risks, what you find is that those people play it safer than you think & that is what enables them to take the risk. In this episode, we interview J.P. Kelley about the risk he took in his career.

It is often the case that the quality of our life is tied to the quality of our decisions. If we can learn to make better decisions, we can position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities and minimize the potential of unforced errors. On this episode, Annie Duke shares deep insight into how to make better decisions from her new book How To Decide. We discuss: Why good decisions might still result in bad outcomes, and vice versa. How to think about hindsight bias and how it affects our perception of decisions. Why decisions that seem bad to others might actually be good decisions for you. How the paradox of experience can lead to unforced errors and bad decisions. This episode is sponsored by Indeed.

It's probabilistic." [15:09] "...And whichever one you choose is just a prediction of which one's more likely to produce a happier version of you in the future." [16:25] "We're living in a probabilistic world, meaning that there are very few decisions that you can make that are guaranteed to have one single outcome." [20:14] "But presidential campaigns actually happen over quite a long period of time...Can you think of anything? Where in real time, people are analyzing the decisions that are being made more than a national presidential election." [26:10] "Our brains really like to make a create a narrative that makes sense where one thing leads to another and kind of an orderly fashion. We really aren't comfortable with randomness." [28:19] "So luck is intervening between the decisions that you make, the option that you choose, and the particular outcome that you happen to observe." [32:43] "I also don't know a lot of stuff. The way to solve for that is to go explore the universe of stuff that I don't know, and to explore that in a really objective way. Where I'm kind of like maximizing my ability to run into information that is different than the things that I believe to be true,." [39:40] "Well, smart people are just better at spinning narratives. They're better at looking at a set of data and interpreting that data to fit the model that they already have. That's just why it's just like this kind of narrative spinning that's kind of going on in our heads." [01:01:58] "It's not that imagining failure causes failure. It's that imagining failure causes success, because if you imagine failure, you can see all the obstacles that might be lying in your path and then you can actually do something about them before you run into the obstacle" SHOW NOTES [00:01:32] Guest introduction [00:03:00] How Annie became the “Duchess of Poker” [00:04:09] What Annie's hometown was like [00:07:44] What high school was like for Annie [00:09:59] How Annie's experiences led to writing her books [00:12:07] What are bets, what are decisions and what's the relationship between them?

Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet shares early vs. traditional retirement. Episode 999: Early vs. Traditional Retirement by Darrow Kirkpatrick of Can I Retire Yet on How To Decide on Your Financial Path Darrow Kirkpatrick is the founder of CanIRetireYet.com. He began serious investing in his mid-30s and retired at age 50. He's not a dot com millionaire and didn't become financially independent by flipping real estate or trading hot stocks. He did it the traditional way: hard work, frugality, prudent investing, and patience. When it comes to personal finance, his top priorities are simplicity, reliability, and safety. Now his mission is to help others become financially independent as he did. More recently, Chris Mamula has been managing the blog and he's a frequent writer on the site. Chris used principles of traditional retirement planning, combined with creative lifestyle design, to retire from a career as a physical therapist at age 41. After poor experiences with the financial industry early in his professional life, he educated himself on investing and tax planning. Now he draws on his experience to write about wealth building, DIY investing, financial planning, early retirement, and lifestyle design.
