TRIP Step 1: Think

To arrive at a good decision, we must think first. Answering these questions will
help you decide.

1. Why am I doing the act? What is my goal? Am I aiming to achieve something

good?
2. How will I achieve that goal? Will I do something good or will this lead to
negative results?
3. What are the things and who are the people who will be affected with what I
will do? Is it the right time to do it?
TRIP Step 2: Reflect

Reflecting means two things:

1. trying to assess your feelings regarding the act, and

2. trying to imagine what would happen when you do it.

There is value in assessing our emotions. Our feelings can lead us to understand
the effects and vconsequences of our decision.
TRIP Step 3: Inquire

There is value in asking for help and guidance. We must be humble enough to
acknowledge that we do not know everything.

TRIP Step 4: Pray

It strengthens the faith and hope of a person, and gives wisdom in making a
decision and courage in the decision made.
