One of the things I learnt from life in all my years of living and being around is to never make any decision in a haste or under extreme pressure. Most decisions made under extreme pressure aren’t always well thought out, they are just made out of the fact that a decision must be made, and in most cases decisions made in such a way and under such circumstances always end up affecting not just the maker but also the parties involved at the long run…
I know life has made many of us make some very wrong decisions in the past, funny enough it might not be a major issue but a minor one, the fact is that such decision left an impact on either you or the people involved, especially if it’s a non-well thought out decision. At the end of every decision making process, there is always a result, which can either be a bad result or a good result. One thing is certain though, there will always be an outcome, and most times the outcome of unplanned or non-thought decisions are always bad, only on rare cases will you have a good outcome over such decision making process…
This is life, at some point one will have to start making decisions for themselves, nobody is going to make them for you, it is either you make them in a well-thought out plan and get a good result or make them irrationally and get the outcome. One thing is sure though, decisions made with cool head and calm demeanor mostly tend to leave a great outcome, only on some rare occasions would you have a bad outcome after a well thought out decision making process…
Hmmm, this is a great question that needs a well thought out response, watch me answer this question in an unusual way, I meant in a way you never saw coming…
Understanding how crucial my response would be to such matter that needs to be decided on…
Considering the possible risks and implications of any wrong decision made at that point in time…
Attempt to minimize any possible negative impact if there’s no other way to go about it…
Weighing the Pros and Cons of my decision before taking the next step which happens to be the main deal…
Decision-making !
The above mentioned are the 5 crucial factors I consider most times when making both minor and major decisions in my life, the reason why these are needed and important is because i don’t want a situation where I’d regret the decision I made because of the unexpected outcome…
One thing is constant and clear in the above steps i made about how i make my decisions. Calmness and intentionality are the two factors i inculcate whenever there is a matter to be decided on, without calmness in every aspect or intentionality, wrong decisions will definitely be made and that is how it happens in most cases. A decision made with calmness and clarity will a have a ittle to no to no negative impact at the end…
When it comes to decisions that feels major in my life, i always make sure i don’t make them in a haste or under any form of pressure, the reason for this is because any decision made without a clear mind, head and a well thought out strategy is bound to end in failure or in disappointment, and the only way to have a guaranteed result is by thinking every step through before making the decision…
I would be lying to you all if i were to say i have never made mistakes in some of the decisions I’ve made in the past, even with the fact that it was a well thought out plan, i still ended up making the wrong decision, not because i didn’t analyze them well enough but because a lot of hidden factors tipped the scales and i ended up making the wrong decision…
Wrong choices and decisions are bound to be made, and that is why we are humans, we are taught to make mistakes and learn from them so as not to fall victim again. Things you need to know before making any major decisions in your life. One crucial factor everyone needs is Calmness, a decision made in calmness is bound to have a great impact after the pros and cons have been analyzed and evaluated to the barest minimum…
Always be willing to take some wise risks when it comes to decision making, some risks are unavoidable, which means you have to overcome it, your calmness will lead you through and out of it definitely…
Even if after all these measures the outcome of such decision wasn’t good a a a one, then you know and understand that some hidden factors tipped the scale against you, and next time it will definitely work out well…
In conclusion, one must learn to be rational and careful when making decisions. Mind you not all rational decisions have a good result, this is to tell you how unfair life can get sometimes. Understand this fact and you won’t be disappointed when it eventually happens. Always come to term with every of the outcomes of your decision making, that’s the very first step to making wise and effective decision in life…
