Life must be led in such a way that makes us respect ourselves. Our life’s lessons and events must be worth sharing for inspiring others. And our life’s quality in future totally depends on the choices and decisions we make today.
When we look back our life, we must try not to have many regrets and repents like I should not have done that, I should not have bought that, I should not have behaved that way, I should have taken a better decision, I should not have said those things, I should not have done certain things for momentary satisfaction and instant gratification.
Everyone takes decisions in a given situation based on resources, possibilities, knowledge, support and maturity one has at that moment at that stage of the life. Many times we may not be able to control the outcome of our decision which we experience after a certain period of time , may be years after. This outcome could be positive or negative. We need to be fully prepared to take full responsibility for our decisions and actions.
So do not make everything about the end result, rather focus on the process and journey we take after making a decision. We may not be able to control the result of our decision as it could be dependent on many external factors which are out of our control no matter what we do. But we sure can control ourselves, our mindset, our reaction, our attitude and the way we handle the repercussions of our past decisions .
When we are confronted with situations in life where we need to take a decision. Decision involves action to be taken which could be physical or mental. Action could be of many forms like talking to someone, changing something or someone or ourselves, buying something, marrying someone, to quit a job, start a business and so on.
Our experiences, our knowledge, our maturity, our rationality, our discipline, our self-control, our future planning, our self-image , our beliefs and values, our support system plays a huge role in the decision making process. This actually influences that consequences of the decisions we made.
The process of decision making at any point of time involves effort as we need to assess and evaluate the possible outcomes of our decisions. For this we need to have a fair idea of our future life. We need to have a clear understanding of what we value in life what are inconsequential and unnecessary.
Our intention must be to make the best possible choice and take best possible decision using all the resources we have at hand. Later on in life, irrespective of the kind of aftereffects of our past decisions, we must not reflect back and see a better choice in our hands which could have earned a better result for us. The decision must be calculated and well thought out which must be a matter of pride in future.
