Move forward slowly, listen intently and make decisions decisively

This is the beginning of the 4th Watch in our adventure.  I am reminding myself constantly of two things.
1. Listen compassionately and intently
2. Never make a decision based on fear.

If I move slowly, compassionately listen to what is being said I will be able to determine the difference between truth and deception.  In order to make the right decisions I need to be able to think clearly.  Moving in haste, making decisions quickly without thinking them through and determining the sincerity of another persons words will only lead to disappointment.

Moral of the Story: Move as slow as you need to, but keep moving forward.
