Have you ever thought about reflecting on the reasons for making the life decisions that you have made so far? When my son asked me to write a book about why I made the decisions I had made during my life I found myself reflecting on my decision-making process. Not only did it take me on an emotional journey but it created an awareness in doing so. Power politics ego status tradition and survival all played a part in shaping my life. Looking back I would not have changed the decisions that I made. Looking forward I will have a better understanding of why.
