Making the right Decision

Making the right Decision
Who and what you are today are the product of so many things, major of which is the decision you or others made on your behalf yesterday or years past,
Decisions are vital to our existence if we really want to live a fulfilled life,
We make decisions daily on little events like:
What to eat, drink, wear,
Where to go, who to call
And major ones like:
Who to marry,
Career/business/Vocation to choose,
Where to reside,
Who to make friends with,
Whether to leave a relationship,
When to resign and start your own business, etc.
Making the right decision can be hard, but doable.

Make sure before making any decision, you think about:
How it will affect your future, your family and others,
How it will affect your generation and country.
The advantages and losses of your decision.

Want to make a right decision? You need to:
Relax and take your time (avoid overthinking)
Ask God for help
Get information about the subject matter
Write down your fears about the situation
Pay attention to all red flags
Identify worse case scenarios
List all alternatives.
Pay attention to your instincts (But do not allow instincts dominate you)
Organise your thoughts
Talk to a wise trusted friend, partner, family etc.
Give advice to yourself as if you are giving it to a friend.

You will know you made the right decision when you pick the hardest and most painful choice but you heart is at peace- Anonymous
You are free to make whatever choice you want, but you are not free from the consequences of the choice-Anonymous

I Love you!
