Making decisions in life

Some people thinks that making decision in life is the easiest things to do. Oh hell, ya it can be easy but making the right decision in life?? How do we know if the decisions we made in life was really a good one or a bad one? I guess no one knows until they are already half-way and realize, Dan, it could have been different if I had done this in different way. Well you are not the only one who feels like this, everyone feels like that (I am sure about it). I always feel like that whenever I realize that things could have been different if I had taken different option. But whatever decision, it is, it could be, or it would be in the future shapes our current reality. It makes us a person we are today. So, guys even though we wish we could turn back time, sorry we need to live with the fact that we can’t.

(Facing the sea and watching the waves, makes me clear my mind and make a better decision)

But if we are unhappy with the results of our decision we made in the past, don’t sit down and cry “I wish”, instead focus on what went wrong in the first place and try to make changes for the betterment instead of letting the situation get worse. Deciding in life is never too late, even if it means changing your decision midway your goal or target. So, how can we go about making life changing decisions.

• YOU NEED TO REALIZE THE POWER OF DECISION MAKING
  What was done, has been done. Now before deciding, you must always think what a decision can do to your life. Visualize a short-term goal and also a long-term goal because when making a decision, it doesn’t stay with you for just a short while, it will cause chain of events to take place which will affect your long term goals too.

• FOLLOW YOUR GUT FEELING
  Some people doesn’t even want to decide because they fear making a mistake. Even though they know something is not right, they are not going to do anything to change it but instead follow the crowd. Some thinks it is waste of time to decide as it involve careful planning and deep analysis but always know that deciding can be done sometimes from your gut instinct so learn to trust it. Most of the people who wants to go with your gut instincts and does not, later realize in life that they should have gone with those feelings. Never be afraid to make mistake because if your follow your instincts you will always feel more confident than people who can’t decide at all.

• ACT ON IT
  After deciding, carry it out. Don’t just decide in your mind and wait for tomorrow to come. If you want something to take place, you must commit on the decisions you make. Decisions do not come out of your mind and start acting on its own. YOU must do it for a change to take place.

• LET PEOPLE KNOW OF YOUR DECISIONS
  When I say let people know of your decisions, I know how awkward you will feel when later in life you can’t accomplish what you set to do. But by letting others know, it will be a motivational factor for you (you will keep thinking in your mind, I must do it, I must show them I can do it and you will stop being later because you don’t want to let yourself down in front of others). I know people might not even care about your decisions because all they care about is what they want in life. At least when you finally accomplish your goals (no matter how long it takes), they will know that you are telling the truth.

• LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
  Just because your failed your first decision (worse still a lot of decisions) doesn’t mean you must give up making further decision in your life. I would consider giving up more like a failure rather than making few wrong decisions in your life. Making wrong decisions is all part of life but learning from it makes a good lesson. Remember just because your fail to achieve your short-term goal and has to change your strategy, doesn’t mean you have to give up on your long term goals. Eventually one day you will get where you want to be if you keep trying

• ALWAYS KEEP OPTIONS OPEN
  Deciding in life doesn’t mean you can’t keep Plan B and Plan C as a backup plan option. If you are stubborn and only want to reach your goal from Plan A then you are never going to reach your goal at all especially if your Plan A is making you fail every time. Always be flexible.

• MAKE DECISION MAKING AS FUN AS POSSIBLE
  Enjoy the process of how you get to the goal, don’t be so serious that you will forget how it feels like to have fun in life (even though making decision might not be the most fun thing to do in the world).

Guys opportunities are always there waiting for you. You just need to explore and have fun along the way. So just sit back and think about what decisions you have made so far, and what decision you currently have in your mind and think of ways you can improve those decisions. And think about what other options you can have to reach your long-term goal. I hope whatever decisions you make will help in creating a better tomorrow for you. Good luck you’re your future guys.

P.S: I am still undergoing through some decision making process myself and hope to see some positive effects on my life.
