decisions before they

Decision and destiny

"It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny." ~ Anthony Robbins

Importance of decision making

Life is full of choices at every moment of time. There are multitude of possibilities in front of you to choose from. You need to select one course of action from all available options based on your judgment. That is what constitutes making a decision. If you think about it, life is a series of decisions and consequences that follow them. Smart decisions are the triumphs of judgment while bad decisions are opportunities to learn from and rectify our strategy. The importance of the decision process in life is immense, as what we eventually become, is a consequence of the decisions we made in the past. We are what our choices and decisions make us to be.

Facing difficult decisions

We have all been at a point in our lives where we have to make a difficult decision, and we just don't know how. We spend countless hours thinking about it, contemplating all the options, and trying to sort out all the complex emotions that go along with the decision. We make pro and con lists, go for long walks, or write down our feelings until we come to a place where we can be comfortable with the decision that we have made. The question is, how can you be sure that it is the right decision, and how can you possibly understand the outcome of something that is as unpredictable as life itself?

Making a good decision

Making tough decisions is not always easy. The correct path that we should take is not always clearly laid out before us. Sometimes we need to take a moment to stop, pause, and reflect on something before we can move forward, and there is nothing wrong with that. There is an end in sight, and if you understand that you are not alone with this decision, that millions of people have been faced with difficult decisions throughout their lives, you may realize that you have the support you need to move forward. Patience is probably the most difficult part of this process, but it is the key to making a good decision that is healthy and well thought out. Don't give up, and you will find the strength within yourself to make a decision that you will be happy with for the rest of your life.

Why does one delay in decision making

"To be or not to be" is the primary confusion.

Self-accusation is another reason.

Defensive mental trend: Human mind always try to shy away from truth, as it is unfavorable.

Ego: Individual ego that disagrees with ideals and standards of society.

Social and cultural impact: Conventional rules have been following for years without any challenge and they might be burden while thinking otherwise.

Potential problems: Illusions due to lack of control over events.

How to make a perfect decision?

Self-confidence: Social influence affects the creative individuality. Try to bridge the gap between what you want and what you will get.

Introspection: Judge your plans with different hypothesis before implementing. Your self-introspection will reveal the truth prevailing at sub-conscious level.

Proper planning: First recognize your trouble, prioritize plans, and follow them up towards a better life.

Reasoning and emotional process: Enforce plans methodically with applications of logical, creative, technical, or non-logical methods.

This is very important

Consult your family members, colleagues, partners, children and spouse before taking any important decisions (Nothing wrong)

BUT you take the decision

Ultimately YOU are responsible and not OTHERS for the decision and consequences (good or bad)

In short say “I AM RESPONSIBLE”.

In decision making - accountability and taking responsibility – very important.
