# Decision
Decision is choosing what happens next.
## Meaning
A decision turns meaning toward a [[Direction|direction]] and an [[Action|action]].
A decision can be small, like choosing the next word to define.
A decision can be large, like choosing whether a mission sentence should become canonical.
A decision becomes a [[Source Of Meaning|source of meaning]] when it reveals what Joe values, trusts, protects, serves, or wants to test.
A shared decision may require agreement about what will be done.
A decision can also reveal disagreement about what should happen next.
A good decision should have enough [[Clarity|clarity]] to guide [[Action|action]] and enough humility to be revised when life teaches something new.
In Joe's Mynd, important decisions should connect to action evaluation, the [[Well-being Decision Check]], lived tests, and meaning revision.
Joe's current mission decision surface is internal until Joe approves a public mission decision.
## Source Of Meaning
This note is grounded in [[Well-being Decision Check]], [[Private Source Distillation]], internal mission decision capture, action evaluation, source intake, and the need for Joe's choices to become clear sources of meaning without being treated as automatic approval.
## Relationship Over Time
This note should mature as Joe makes real decisions and the Mynd learns how decisions clarify meaning, action, relationship, and well-being.

## Tensions
A decision can create [[Clarity|clarity]], but it can also create pressure if made too early. A decision should guide action without pretending uncertainty has disappeared.
## Question
What happens next because of this choice?
