HOW TO MAKE RIGHT DECISIONS AND CHOICES.

Sometimes it becomes very difficult to make some important decisions in life. 

We get stuck, unable to decide in which direction to go, afraid of taking the wrong decision we miss out some of the very great opportunities.

It makes us to procrastinate, this further makes us anxious with constant thoughts of 'what could be the right decision' always occupying our minds. 

Have you been through such a situation?

Well, all of us face such quandaries at some point of time in our lives.

Here are some of the points which might help in making the right choices. 

• Don't procrastinate 

Don't take too much of time in taking your decisions, this might cause you to constantly think about the same matter over and over again that may lead to irritation and frustration.  It does not matter if your decision comes out to be right or wrong, even if it proves out to be a wrong one, you will always have a sense of satisfaction that would be greater than the feeling of regret by not taking the decision and procrastinating it to the point where not taking a decision becomes the real problem.

• A simple formula to help yourself in making better choices

Whenever you face a dilemma, consider yourself to be one of your friends to whom you are giving an advice. Now, think and suggest your friend the best option to go with. By doing so, you are actually keeping yourself away from all those negative feelings that are stopping you or scaring you to take the best decision that would allow you to grow and reach your full potential. 

For example, you get a chance for giving a speech publicly, but u have stage fright and this is stopping you from reaching out to catch up this great opportunity. What would you do? Now, use the formula of considering yourself as your friend, what would you advice? 

Obviously, you will encourage and motivate your friend to conquer all his fears and help him.

Through this formula you will be able to encourage yourself and take decisions that require some courage and strength. Moreover, this will actually let you know what exactly you want.

• Pushing yourself a  little out of your comfort zone

Sometimes taking risks and pushing yourself a little out of your comfort zone helps you to reach out to some of the very great opportunities which further boosts your confidence. 

No one in this world achieves success in one day.

The road to success is full of failures and wrong decisions. It takes lots of patience, time and practice to perfect any skill or to fully implement a plan.

Remember, opposite of success is not failure but learning. 

• Taking advice but not blindly following them

Taking advice from an experienced person might help you in taking your decisions and undoubtedly going with your choice.

But it also depends from whom are you taking the advice and from how many people. It's not important that the decision the other person took and landed in trouble might also cause you the same trouble.

Listen to everyone but do what you want.

•  Don't push yourself so much in one go.

Keep in mind that it is good to push yourself over the edge but remember, you can only fly when you have got the wings, don't push yourself so much in one go.

It's always better to take baby steps than to take a big leap and fall.

Moving forward at a slow pace will make you confident and more focused. So, take your decisions wisely.

It's perfectly fine to grow slowly, the aim is to keep moving and not being stuck at the same point in life.

Stumble and fall, get up again and walk, but don't stumble and stop.

• Study the trend, do some research work.

If its an important business decision, try getting some statistics.

Try to find out what you are going to do if its already been tried and tested by some other person or company, if yes then see if they were successful in their attempt, what was the reaction of the people. Always think about the consequences beforehand, hope for the best but prepare yourself for the worst. 

• Don't follow others

Don't care what others are opting or choosing. No two people are the same. The decisions they take will be according to there needs, choices, environment etc. 

Don't just blindly follow others.

Start making your own identity, make your own standards.

Never follow the crowd, sometimes the majority turns out to be wrong.

• Stay wise - to yourself and to others.

Allow yourself to grow. Make decisions that take you one step further than your current situation. Don't step back.

Your decisions should not only benefit you but also to the people or your group. Think on a bigger scale. Kindness always adds to your success and at the same time makes you feel proud. 

• Never get discouraged by a wrong decision

Remember that we are not gods, we are bound to make mistakes. Don't be hard on yourself. Many great inventions in the past are made after facing lots of  failures and wrong decisions. Learn and become wiser from your wrong decisions. Everything happens for a reason. 

Mistakes are the steps of  a  staircase leading to your destination of success.

Don't overthink.

Stay happy and satisfied.

Thank you!
