Making Decisions

In life, there is not a single day that goes by without us making decisions. Whether it is deciding which outfit to wear or deciding which career path you want to choose.

Decisions come in different forms and sizes, some are difficult to make, some are easy. Some decisions require you to actually sit down and think about them, while other decisions can be made in a blink of an eye.

We might be oblivious to the fact that it is the decisions that we are constantly taking, that make us who we are, and will determine the kind of life that we are living. We subconsciously make most of our decisions, without even thinking about them thoroughly. We get caught up in doing things and saying things.

Sometimes it is important to just be in the moment, to be actually consciously aware of what you are doing or saying; of the decision that you are about to make. It might be taking a moment to gather your thoughts and choosing your response after someone has made you angry, or choosing what to eat for breakfast.

When you are present, you are more likely to make rational decisions.

Once you realize that you are in the position that you are in because of all your decisions, and understand that whichever decisions you take, there are consequences, you begin to be more careful and aware of your decisions. You begin to be more intentional with your decisions, and less in a state of making automatic and “expected” decisions.

Always be intentional with your decision-making process and stay true to yourself.

Take care.
